KODAK Precise Next Lenses: A More Natural Progressive Experience

Written by James Stephany | Oct 2, 2026, 1:00:00 PM

Progressive lens technology continues to evolve, and KODAK Precise® Next brings several design technologies together to support smoother movement through the zones patients use all day. Rather than forcing wearers to adapt to abrupt shifts between distance, intermediate, and near, the design is built to create a more comfortable, natural visual experience. For eyecare professionals, that means a progressive lens designed to better match how today’s patients actually look, move, and work in the real world.

Designed for Easier Near Vision

One of the key technologies in KODAK Precise Next is Near Zone Amplification. The design accelerates the progression of addition power as the wearer looks downward, helping provide easier access to the near zone.

For patients, that can translate into a more natural experience when moving from distance vision to everyday near tasks such as reading, using a smartphone, or viewing a menu.

Smooth, Balanced Vision

 KODAK Precise Next incorporates Vision First Design™, which is designed to create a smooth progression of power throughout the lens while managing unwanted peripheral blur.

The design also incorporates binocular balance, helping provide a more balanced visual experience between the two eyes as the wearer moves through the lens.

Built Around How Patients See Today

Patients aren't looking at just one distance throughout the day. They move constantly between distance, intermediate, and near—from driving, to computers, to smartphones and reading.

KODAK Precise Next is designed to make those transitions feel more natural while providing access to the vision patients need across their day.

Kodak Lens reports that an independent 2025 wearer study found 85% of participants rated overall comfort as good or excellent, while 83% rated reading satisfaction as good or excellent.

Technology That Translates Into Patient Benefits

For today's progressive wearer, lens performance comes down to three things: how easily they can access the different vision zones, how smoothly they transition between them, and how comfortable the lens feels throughout the day.

KODAK Precise Next combines advanced progressive design with technologies specifically developed to address those needs—giving patients a lens designed around clearer, more comfortable vision at the distances they use every day.
