Omnilux® NAL® lenses are Natural Accommodation Lenses designed as a new concept in multifocal vision correction. They are not bifocal, trifocal or traditional progressive lenses. Instead, Omnilux® NAL® is described as the world’s first true multifocal lens, created to give wearers a single-vision-like experience with seamless vision at all distances.

The key benefit is natural, instinctive vision from far distance to close near. Omnilux® NAL® lenses are designed to provide continuous sharp vision at any gaze, with no fitting height measurement, no adaptation period required, and no swim or distortions. Their visual field is described as funnel-shaped rather than hourglass-shaped, helping create a more comfortable viewing experience.

These lenses are ideal for presbyopes and multifocal wearers who struggle with progressives, bifocals or trifocals. They may suit people who want clearer everyday vision for reading, driving, working, computer use, sports, and active lifestyles. The NAL® website specifically mentions activities such as golf, tennis, pickleball, running, biking and driving.

Omnilux® NAL® is also relevant for optical practices because it is available in all materials and treatments, can reduce dispensing time, and helps avoid fitting-height related redo issues.

OmniLux® NAL® Lenses benefits over traditional progressive lenses

OmniLux® NAL® lenses offer several advantages over conventional progressive lenses, including:

  1. Seamless Vision: They provide a continuous, clear vision from near to far without the need for head tilting.
  2. No Adaptation Period: No peripheral swim effect, users experience no adaptation period, unlike the adjustment needed for PAL lenses.
  3. Provides clear natural instinctive vision in all distances: No fitting height required.
  4. Visual fields are funnel shaped rather than hourglass shaped: Smoothly connected visual fields provide natural vision from infinity to 14 inches.
  5. Wide Intermediate visual field provides effortless mid-range navigation: Because NAL mimics natural accommodation from 20ft to 14 inches it eliminates eye fatigue due to new habits of excessive indoor living
