Essential RGP Multifocal


Introducing ESSENTIAL Multifocal, currently the market leader in the USA, and the only RGP multifocal lens that offers you three
different adds and an alignment fitting philosophy ESS S-Form manufacturing process. This enabling manufacturing process creates an "S-Form" posterior power gradient which compresses more effective ADD correction (up to +2.75D) within a usable optical area at the centre of the lens.

Benefits of S-Form technology

True aspheric optics with a continuous gradient of power that is truly optical from edge to edge. Greater amount of ADD correction with minimal impact on contrast sensitivity. Usable ADD is contained along a shorter radius of the axial centre of the lens in a usable optical area. Produce far greater amounts of ADD correction than is possible with any other RGP manufacturing process.

Essential MultiFocal utilizes an alignment fitting philosophy that ensures long-term corneal integrity and stable vision. With this unique design, base curve fitting relationship is independent of lens diameter.

Lens In Situ

 
How It Works
The unique S-Form aspheric posterior curve creates, from center to periphery, a multifocal effect. This will provide an ADD correction from+0.75D to +3.00D depending on the series utilized.

ESSENTIAL satisfies the patient's visual needs from distance through intermediate to near.


In primary gaze, the central portion of the lens provides distance correction. When reading, convergence and a slight upward transition of the lens favors utilization of convex powers toward the periphery of the lens. An upper lid attachment optimizes this transition of the lens from distance optics (center), to optics needed for comfortable intermediate and near vision (periphery).
