A Leader in HCC Anti-Reflective Coating
In 1983, Nikon launched the first anti-reflective coating with built-in scratch resistance. The technology quickly became popular in Japan, and today almost all lenses have this type of coating. It uses nanotechnology first developed for camera lenses, where it reduces unwanted reflections to keep images sharp.
Inventor of the 1.74 Index Material
In 2000, Nikon developed the 1.74 high-index material used for the thinnest eyeglass lenses. It transformed ultra-thin plastic lenses and was quickly adopted by the market. Today, Nikon's double-sided aspheric 1.74 lenses are the thinnest and lightest in their class.

The Art and Science of Vision
The Best Lenses
By combining clear, thin materials with sharp optical designs and high-performance coatings, Nikon lenses give wearers outstanding image quality.
The Best Materials
Purity and uniformity are key to high light transmission. Nikon has helped develop lens materials to meet a wider range of needs, which is why it is known for making some of the thinnest and clearest lenses on the market.
The Best Lens Designs
The lens design decides what the lens does. Do you need to see far away? Up close? Or both? Nikon's advanced precision and customization technology is at the heart of its lens designs, giving you clearer, sharper vision without distortion.
The Best Coatings
Nikon coatings do more than control light and reduce reflections. They also repel water and oil, resist static and protect against scratches. Nikon's coating technology makes lenses cleaner, clearer, sharper and more durable.
