PROGRESSIVE LENSES
®
See The Moment.
We often see only what’s directly in front of us, not what is really
unfolding all around us. It’s time to stop looking and start seeing,
because better vision means a better life.
You want your patients to live life to the fullest. With UNITY Progressive
Lenses, you can offer them a complete range of choices for all their
visual needs.
UNITY PLx
All UNITY Progressive Lenses, including the original simple lens solution, UNITY PLx, use
sophisticated calculations and ray-tracing technology to create unique, personalized
lenses. Their exceptional design, 100% backside freeform lens process, and quality
assurance delivers a maximum-utility lens for assured patient adaptation and visual
satisfaction. Now available with enhanced near vision for mobile users.
UNITY PLxtra
UNITY PLxtra offers position-of-wear precision, delivering a compensated Rx to give
your patients even greater customization and clarity by compensating for frame wrap,
pantoscopic tilt and back-vertex distance. These lenses also have a wider range
of fitting designs to better match today’s varied frame sizes. UNITY PLxtra provides
patients with state-of-the-art lens design features, more flexibility, and greater
personalization, allowing them to see better in their everyday activities. Now available
with enhanced near vision for mobile users.
UNITY PLxtreme
UNITY PLxtreme is the ideal lens choice for patients wanting UNITY performance
without limiting their choices for wrap frames. UNITY PLxtreme decreases peripheral
distortion and increases clarity in line-of-sight while incorporating position-of-wear
measurements for added customization. It’s a simple solution for all of your patients’
daily activities.
The UNITY Precision Difference
Our freeform technology uses state-of-the-art lens processing equipment and UNITY’s
advanced digital lens designs to deliver the most precisely crafted prescription
possible. Customized UNITY lenses are created to address your patients’ specific visual
requirements, within 1/100 of a diopter. The ease of adaptation and high satisfaction
your patients experience is a result of a quality verification process with every UNITY
lens produced. To ensure the lens design is exactly what the doctor and lab intended,
each lens is digitally mapped. This extra step ensures precision and accuracy with
every UNITY lens.
“Still loving the UNITY progressive. Using it for almost
every patient.”

Cascade Technology—Delivering Power Where You Need It
TM
The UNITY PLxpression, CVxpression and the new Progressive Mobile lens designs
incorporate patented and proprietary Cascade Technology, which features variable base

backside freeform design and the patient’s position-of-wear measurements. This
combination provides the ultimate in customized vision, delivering:
• fully optimized and widened viewing areas;
• enhanced visual performance from a refined compensated Rx;
• improved cosmetics for select prescriptions.

NEW! UNITY Mobile Progressive Lenses –
Enhanced for mobile use.
Mobile devices are changing the way we gather information; whether
it’s reading, web browsing, using gps navigation, watching movies or
viewing pictures, these have all become near vision tasks. Typically
held closer to the eye than traditional reading material like books and
newspapers, mobile devices have smaller fonts and image details,
and added screen glare, making it more difficult for users to find their
comfortable near viewing area.
UNITY PLxtra Mobile and PLx Mobile Progressive Lenses have been
optimized for this shorter near viewing distance that mobile users
need. UNITY Mobile Progressives provide increased magnification in
the near vision area, increased visual acuity and reduced eye fatigue
for overall improved visual comfort without compromise to the rest of
the prescription.
