SUMMARY
Insights
ESSILOR INTRODUCES EYEZEN KIDS,
® ®

THE NEW LENS SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR

CHILDREN TO PROVIDE VISUAL COMFORT
AND PROTECT THEIR EYES ALL YEAR LONG.

· SCHOOL YEARS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO CAREFULLY NURTURE AND PROMOTE

HEALTHY VISION.
· THE PERIOD FROM 6 YEARS OLD IS WHEN A CHILD'S VISION UNDERGOES HIGH
VISUAL DEMANDS, SUCH AS LEARNING TO READ AND WRITE.

With the increased use of digital devices at school and at home, it is important to provide
children with a solution suitable for any situation for their multiple daily activities, including the
children who frequently use screens.

04
 CHILDREN ARE NOT LIKE ADULTS AND NEED AN ADAPTED SOLUTION. HOWEVER, TODAY'S
STANDARD SINGLE VISION LENSES ARE NOT OPTIMISED FOR CHILDREN'S VISION NEEDS.

1. MORPHOLOGY
CHILDREN HAVE DIFFERENT FACIAL
FEATURES COMPARED TO ADULTS.
EYEZEN® KIDS DESIGN TAKES
CHILDREN’S MORPHOLOGY
INTO ACCOUNT.

2. OBJECT DISTANCE
AS CHILDREN’S ARMS ARE SHORTER,
THEY VIEW OBJECTS AT CLOSER
DISTANCES THAN ADULTS. CHILDREN
HOLD NEAR OBJECTS (E.G. BOOKS)
CLOSER, WITH A WORKING
DISTANCE OF 25CM AND AN EYE
DECLINATION OF 20º.

3. GAZE DIRECTIONS
CHILDREN ARE OFTEN LOOKING
UP AT THE WORLD AROUND THEM
(BECAUSE THEY ARE SHORTER THAN
ADULTS). THEY ARE EYE MOVERS(1)
AND LOOK THROUGH ALL PARTS
OF THE LENS, NOT JUST
THROUGH THE CENTRE.

EYEZEN® KIDS IS A NEW OPTIMISED SINGLE VISION LENS
DESIGNED FOR YOUNG SPECTACLE WEARERS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 6 AND 12.
THIS ALL-IN-ONE SOLUTION OFFERS THEM THE VISUAL COMFORT
AND PROTECTION THEY NEED.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Eyezen® DualOptim™ Kids technology takes children’s parameters (morphology,
object distance and gaze directions) into account to optimise the lens design.

BEFORE NOW

Standard SV lens Eyezen® Kids lens

Not adapted for children
The design only considers the
optical centre of the lens so
aberrations occur in the periphery
(a zone often used by children).
Adapted for children
With Eyezen® DualOptim™ Kids technology
we take into account two reference points
to optimise the surface of the lens for
all children’s gaze directions (not only
for the centre of the lens) while
maintaining their prescription.

 What to say to parents
AGES 6 TO 12 ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO CAREFULLY NURTURE AND PROMOTE HEALTHY
VISION. THE PERIOD OF LIFE FROM 6 YEARS OLD IS WHEN VISION UNDERGOES HIGH
VISUAL DEMANDS SUCH AS LEARNING TO READ AND WRITE.

· Children are not like adults. Standard single vision

lenses have not been designed for their unique visual
needs.

· Eyezen® Kids lenses take into account children's

parameters such as their morphology, their object
distance and gaze directions.

· To ensure that children see and learn well in any

vision task all day long during their childhood.

· Eyezen® Kids lenses come with Eye Protect System

to protect their eyes from harmful light(1), all day long
and whatever their activities.

· Eyezen® Kids: their most comfortable lens(2).

Designed for how they see the world.
