UNITY LENS DESIGNS – A STORY OF INNOVATION
From our first Unity® proprietary lens to Unity Via Elite II, now the leading N category lens in the VSP® network, Unity lenses are what patients and practices expect from a progressive lens—exceptional visual comfort near, far and everywhere in between. The goal back in 2010 was to bring a new kind of lens to market – one with no boundaries. Our timeline is endless, and we’ll continue to innovate with new lens designs that are easy to dispense and raise the bar for quality.
We set out in 2010 to bring a new kind of lens to market—one with no boundaries. Our timeline is endless, and we’ll continue to deliver innovative first-to-market lens solutions and designs that are easy to dispense and raise the bar for quality.
