Essilor – World leader in Ophthalmic Optics

Essilor was formed in 1972 following the merger of the two companies that dominated the French optical eyewear market at the time: Essel and Silor.
The new company inherited a priceless tradition from its two precursors:        
"that of being consistently ahead of the curve"

Essilor offers a wide range of the world's best products- The Varilux® Progressive Lens, Crizal® Hard Multicoated Lenses and Titus Hard Coated Lenses- which have set benchmarks for quality and performance. "Airwear®" launched recently, is a new generation polycarbonate lens that has multiple benefits and is therefore suitable for all lifestyles.



Besides these products, Essilor has an impressive array of photochromic, tinted and high index lenses as well as lenses for special applications. 

Essilor lenses come with an Authenticity Card, which is proof that the customer has received a genuine product with the Essilor stamp of quality.

With over 215 million eyeglass lenses produced annually, Essilor is the world leader in ophthalmic optics in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. 
One out of every two progressive lenses sold worldwide is an Essilor lens.
