Essilor, Hoya, and Zeiss prescription lenses

A proper pair of glasses is not judged solely by the frame. The frame provides style and fit, but it is the lenses that influence the clarity, comfort, and quality of your vision on a daily basis.

At ORASIS Metaxarakis Opticians in Agios Nikolaos, we partner with leading ophthalmic lens companies, such as Essilor, Hoya, and Zeiss, so that we can recommend solutions that suit the needs, prescription, and lifestyle of each customer.

Why the choice of lens matters

Not all lenses are the same, and not everyone needs the same solution. Someone who spends many hours working at a computer has different needs than someone who drives frequently, a progressive lens wearer, or a child with myopia.

The right lens choice depends on the prescription, the frame, age, daily habits, and vision requirements throughout the day. This is why we dedicate time to explaining the options in simple terms and recommending what truly fits each individual case.

Essilor

Essilor has its roots in France, and its history begins in 1849 in Paris with a cooperative of spectacle makers. Over the years, it has evolved into one of the most well-known ophthalmic lens companies worldwide.

Essilor is particularly famous for the development of progressive lenses, with Varilux being one of the most recognizable names in the category. It also offers solutions for daily use, thin lenses, protective coatings, and specific vision needs.

At ORASIS, we can inform you about Essilor lens options and determine which solution best fits your prescription, usage, and daily routine.

Hoya

Hoya is a Japanese company with a history beginning in 1941, initially in the field of optical glass. Today, it is a large technological group active in optics, ophthalmic lenses, and high-precision applications.

In the field of ophthalmic lenses, Hoya offers options for daily use, thin lenses, progressive lenses, and more specialized needs. Its presence in childhood myopia management with MiYOSMART lenses is also particularly significant.

At ORASIS, we can guide you through Hoya lens options, whether for a simple pair of prescription glasses or a more specialized solution.

Zeiss

Zeiss is a German company with a history dating back to 1846, when Carl Zeiss opened his workshop in Jena, Germany. The name Zeiss has become synonymous with optical precision, scientific research, and the manufacture of high-quality optical systems.

In the field of ophthalmic lenses, Zeiss has a long tradition of technology and precision. In 1912, it introduced Punktal lenses, a significant milestone in the evolution of modern ophthalmic lenses.

Today, Zeiss offers solutions for daily use, progressive lenses, lenses for screens, thin lenses, and more specialized vision needs. At ORASIS, we can help you see if a Zeiss option fits your specific needs.

Which lens company is the best?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Essilor, Hoya, and Zeiss are companies with a long history, expertise, and excellent lens choices. The best choice is the one that correctly fits the person who will be wearing the glasses.

In some cases, comfort at the computer may be more important. In others, lens thinness, driving, adaptation to progressive lenses, or the needs of a child with myopia may be the priority.

The right guidance makes the difference

A quality lens also requires the right selection. That is why at ORASIS Metaxarakis Opticians, we do not view lenses merely as a product, but as part of your daily comfort and quality of life.
