MAHWAH, NJ November 2009--Seiko Optical Products of America, the pioneer and global leader in free-form lens design technology announces the launch of new Seiko Super MV 1.67, the world's most advanced free-form single-vision lenses.

Mike Rybacki, Seiko Optical Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing stated, "Our new Super MaxVue 1.67 are double-sided aspheric single-vision lenses that combine Seiko's patented aspheric front design technology with advanced free-form lens processing on the back. The result is a high index lens with unequalled levels of optical performance, thinness, lightness and comfort."

The unique combination of a patented low base curve and free-form aspheric back-surface design virtually eliminates power error, distortion and marginal astigmatism. Mr. Rybacki explained, "The front surface includes Seiko's exclusive 10mm spherical fitting button. The free-form back surface provides precise aspheric/atoric compensation calculated for the patient's individual Rx. Unlike traditional aspheric lenses, which compensate for the primary aberrations in the spherical power, Super MV lenses correct these aberrations throughout the entire cylindrical axis, virtually enabling the edged lens to have "optical center vision" everywhere. The result is exceptional clarity of vision throughout the entire lens, even in Rx's with high power and cylinder."

Super MV 1.67 lenses are available from +6.00 to -10.00, out to a -5.00 cylinder (total power of -10.00 diopters), with up to 3 diopters of prism.
