Paris, France – September 2026 — Universe Optical successfully participated in SILMO Paris 2026, one of the world’s leading international optical trade fairs, held from September 25 to 28 at Paris Nord Villepinte. At Booth Hall 6, G071, Universe Optical welcomed customers and optical professionals from around the world and presented its latest ophthalmic lens technologies and product solutions.
During the four-day exhibition, our booth attracted both long-standing customers and new business partners from different markets. Many existing customers visited the booth to discuss ongoing projects, new product developments and future cooperation, while new visitors had the opportunity to learn more about Universe Optical’s manufacturing capabilities, product portfolio and customized lens solutions.
The positive feedback from visitors once again demonstrated the market recognition of Universe Optical’s commitment to product innovation, consistent quality and competitive solutions. Discussions covered a wide range of products, including photochromic lenses, freeform designs, blue-light filtering lenses, high-index lenses and premium coating technologies.
U8+ Spincoat Photochromic Lenses
One of the major highlights of the exhibition was our U8+ Spincoat Photochromic Lens series. Featuring advanced spincoat technology, U8+ provides fast activation and fade-back performance, excellent indoor clarity and high darkening levels outdoors.
The series is available in a variety of colors, including Grey, Brown, Blue, Green, Purple and Red, offering optical companies greater flexibility in developing differentiated photochromic products for their markets.
Visitors showed strong interest in the color options, performance and potential applications of U8+ Spincoat Photochromic lenses, particularly for customers looking to upgrade their existing photochromic product lines.
ViewMax Double Aspheric Freeform Design
Another key product showcased at SILMO Paris was the ViewMax Double Aspheric Freeform Design, available in 1.56, 1.60, 1.67 and 1.71 indices.
The ViewMax series combines freeform double-aspheric concept to provide optimized optical performance, improved visual experience and enhanced lens aesthetics. The product range is designed to meet the growing demand for advanced personalized and high-performance ophthalmic lenses.
The 1.71 ViewMax, in particular, attracted considerable attention from customers looking for a thinner high-index alternative with excellent optical performance and competitive positioning.
BluArmor HD --- Clear Base Bluecut Lenses with Premium Coatings
Universe Optical also presented its BluArmor HD, clear base bluecut lenses combined with premium coating technologies.
Unlike traditional bluecut lenses with noticeable base colors, the clear-base design provides a more natural lens appearance while maintaining blue-light filtering performance. Combined with premium and low reflection coating options, BluArmor offers enhanced surface protection, durability, optical clarity and ease of cleaning.
Customers expressed strong interest in BluArmor as a premium bluecut solution that can help optical businesses differentiate their product portfolios while offering consumers a more natural visual and cosmetic experience.
Looking Ahead
SILMO Paris 2026 provided an excellent platform for Universe Optical to reconnect with long-standing partners, meet new customers and exchange ideas with optical professionals from around the world.
The valuable feedback and discussions during the exhibition will continue to support our product development and international market strategy. Universe Optical remains committed to developing innovative, reliable and competitive ophthalmic lens solutions and looks forward to building stronger partnerships with customers worldwide.
