Nikon Lenswear —
precision you can see.
Nikon has engineered optics for over a century — from cameras to telescopes to the lenses in your glasses. Their new Z Series, launched 2024–2025, is the most advanced progressive technology they've ever produced, inspired by the contrast evaluation method used in their flagship camera lenses.
Introducing the Z Series
Nikon's Z Series merges Z-Contrast technology — borrowed from their professional camera lens development — with decades of progressive design expertise. The result is sharper vision across all zones, wider corridors, and significantly faster adaptation than previous generations.
According to Nikon's research, 80% of progressive wearers are dissatisfied with their current lenses — most without realising the technology has come this far.
SeeMax Ultimate Z
Nikon's most advanced progressive. Fully personalized using your posture, frame measurements, prescription, and visual habits. Personalized Contrast Perception optimizes the near zone individually to suppress aberrations and maximize sharpness right to the edges. Virtually eliminates the "swim" effect.
SeeMax Master Z
Highly personalized with Z-Contrast technology. Wide intermediate and near zones — ideal for screen-heavy lifestyles and demanding visual tasks.
Presio Power Z
Dual-power design with a wide intermediate zone for fast, comfortable adaptation. Excellent for first-time progressive wearers or patients upgrading from older technology.
Presio Inspire Z & Balance Digital Z
The newest additions to the Z Series. Inspire Z suits dynamic, active lifestyles. Balance Digital Z is built specifically for patients who spend most of their day on digital devices.
Presio Wide & Presio Advance
Mid-range progressives offering wide visual zones and comfortable adaptation. Great performance at a more accessible price point.
SeeMax UltraEdge Z
Nikon's top single vision lens. Custom-made to your exact prescription and frame — sharpness right to the edge. Ideal for strong prescriptions or patients who notice distortion with standard lenses.
SeeMax Infinite Z
Premium freeform single vision with Z-Contrast clarity. Natural, distortion-free vision across the full lens surface for all-day comfort.
Relaxsee Z
A gentle power boost in the lower lens relaxes your focusing muscles — reducing digital eye strain without the learning curve of a progressive. Perfect for 25–40 year olds on screens all day.
Myopsee Z
Nikon's myopia management single vision lens — designed to slow progression in children and teens by reducing accommodative demand. Pairs well with Ortho-K or atropine treatment.
Nikon Lite AS
A reliable, affordable aspheric single vision lens. Thinner, flatter profile with less distortion than standard lenses — great everyday wear across a wide range of prescriptions.
SeeCoat Next
Premium anti-reflective. Reduces glare, repels dust and smudges, scratch resistant. Water beads off cleanly.
SeeCoat Next Blue
Anti-reflective + blue light filtering. Ideal for long screen hours or LED-heavy environments.
SeeCoat Drive
Optimized for night driving — reduces glare from oncoming headlights and streetlights.
SeeCoat Next Bright
Enhances light transmission and colour vibrancy for the most natural, vivid visual experience.

Dual-side digital progressives with wide, comfortable zones at an accessible price. Includes Blue Zero Filter for blue light protection built right in.
Transitions lenses —
in stunning colour.
Shamir PhotoGlamour combines Transitions® Light Intelligent Lenses™ with fashion-forward colours. Clear indoors. Beautifully tinted outdoors. These are photochromic lenses that actually express your personality — available in six stunning tones, each with its own visual benefit.
Clear Indoors
Fully clear inside — you get beautiful colour outdoors without any tint affecting your indoor vision or your appearance at work.
Smart Darkening
Transitions molecules embedded directly in the lens react to UV in seconds — darkening to a rich tint in sunlight and returning to clear indoors.
UV & Blue Light Protection
All PhotoGlamour lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays and filter harmful blue light — style and protection working together.
Thinner, lighter,
clearer.
Not all lenses are made the same. The material determines how thin your lenses look, how light they feel, and how optically clear they are. We'll recommend the right material for your prescription, frame choice, and lifestyle — here's a simple guide to what's available.
Standard Plastic (CR-39)
The original plastic lens material. Excellent optical clarity and easy to tint. Best suited for low to mild prescriptions in smaller frames.
Polycarbonate
10x more impact resistant than standard plastic. Thinner and lighter. The go-to material for children, active adults, safety wear, and rimless frames. Built-in UV protection.
Trivex
Sharper optics than polycarbonate with less chromatic aberration and the lightest weight of any lens material. Excellent for patients who've noticed colour fringing or "swim" with other materials.
Hi-Index 1.67
Significantly thinner and flatter than polycarbonate. Recommended for moderate to strong prescriptions (roughly ±4.00 and above) where lens thickness is a concern.
Hi-Index 1.74
The thinnest prescription lens material available. For strong prescriptions (roughly ±6.00 and above). Dramatically reduces edge thickness — a game-changer for patients who've always had thick lenses.
Not sure which material is right for your prescription? We'll recommend the best option at your consultation — always based on your actual prescription strength, frame choice, and budget.
Your eyes were
not built for screens.
The average Canadian adult now spends 10–12 hours per day in front of digital screens. Blue light sits at the highest-energy end of the visible spectrum and has been linked to digital eye strain, disrupted sleep, and long-term retinal stress.
Blue light filtering lenses don't change how things look — they selectively block the wavelengths most associated with discomfort while preserving natural colour accuracy.
Office & Remote Workers
If you spend 6+ hours daily on screens, blue light lenses are one of the most effective ways to reduce end-of-day fatigue and headaches.
Poor Sleepers
Blue light suppresses melatonin. Filtering lenses in the evening — or tinted options after sunset — can meaningfully improve sleep quality.
Children & Teens
Young eyes are more susceptible — their clearer lenses transmit more high-energy light to the retina. Protection early matters.
Gamers
Extended sessions are among the most intensive screen exposure. Blue light lenses reduce strain and make long sessions far more comfortable.
Colour, style, and
serious protection.
Tints aren't just fashion — each colour serves a different visual purpose. We love helping patients get creative with their lenses. Come in and see our full sample collection in person.
Grey
The most versatile tint. True colour perception with reduced brightness — works equally well indoors and outdoors. A classic choice for driving and everyday wear.
Brown / Amber
Reduces glare and enhances contrast — especially in green landscapes, on the water, and in variable light. Loved by golfers, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts.
Green / G15
Exceptional contrast without colour distortion. G15 (green-grey blend) is widely regarded as the finest all-purpose sun tint — a staple in premium sunglass lenses for decades.
Yellow / Amber
Filters blue light, enhances depth perception in low light. Popular for overcast days, night driving glasses, and indoor sports like squash or badminton.
Rose / Pink
Reduces glare and eye strain in bright conditions. A warm, flattering choice — genuine visual benefit with a fashionable edge.
Gradient Tints
Darker at the top, fading to clear at the bottom. Perfect for prescription sunglasses where you still need to read clearly at near distance without full tint in the way.
Flash Mirrors
Subtle, semi-transparent mirror finish. Stylish and light-reducing without the full block-out effect. Available in silver, gold, rose, and blue. Versatile enough for everyday city wear.
Full Mirrors
Bold, opaque mirror finish — maximum reflectivity and total privacy from the outside. Best for high-glare environments: water, snow, altitude, or a strong fashion statement. Available in silver, gold, blue, green, and red.
Custom Combinations
Mirror coatings are always applied over an underlying tint. We can combine almost any tint colour and mirror finish — come in and browse our sample book to build your perfect pair.
