EGOist by Optovista is a range of personalized progressive lenses, with which one has the freedom to choose: individual style, the type of “visual approach” and the construction material.
1).Made-in-Italy technology, wide choice of materials, high personalization of the production process, are the three pluses of the progressive lenses EGOist, the top of the Optovista range.
Recent investments in the production field have allowed Optovista to be among the first Italian producers to adopt the new Free-Form technology, which enables the construction of custom-made progressive lenses, personalized according to one’s own “vision style”.
The exclusive calculation process called IST (Internal Subjective Technology) enables the lens assembly from the inside, which for the final consumer means a greater comfort; this is guaranteed also by the exact correspondence between the carried-out correction and the optometric prescription, integrated at the same time with the parameters of the chosen frame and of the way it is worn.
Many are the benefits offered by the progressive lenses EGOist:
1) Fist of all, visual benefits, since the procedure reduces lateral distortions and aberrations;
2) Functional benefits, as the applied technology enables the construction of a unique complex flexion on the inner surface, capable of correcting any sight imperfection, from myopia to hypermetrophy;
3) Aesthetic benefits, because of the slimming of the lens thickness; the final result is an immediate and total feeling of visual freedom.
The “subjective” version EGOistIdea, differing from EGOist for the semplyfied calculation, is included by Optovista in the same range -2007-2008 lenses catalog- as well .
In fact, only personal data of visual correction are required for EGOistIdea and this allows a greater simplicity in the transmission of one’s order, a flexibility in the recording of the parameters for the production, together with a more competitive catalog price.

The attention which vision specialists, sports psychologists, coaches and athletes themselves grant to the relation between visual performance and sports performance stems from the conviction that an improvement in the former brings benefit to the latter. However, vision must be considered as a rather complicated perceptive process, made up of a range of visual abilities which can be divided into visual-motor functions and perceptive processes.
Vision care is an integrating part of the eye care. Prevention and maintenance in the eye care grant the patient a healthy vision.
