STOTTS. Everyday — excellent general vision from the pair you reach for most
Who it's for · What's in it · What powers it · What it won't do · Who it isn't for
Excellent general vision from the pair you reach for most — an everyday design fitted individually around the whole day rather than any one part of it. It is also where "one lens instead of two" lives for reading-glasses wearers, where a coating on the main pair lives, and where the honest answer can be "we might change very little".
Lens technology: Nikon Lenswear. Configuration: STOTTS.
Who it's for
The day this configuration is built around.
- Reading-glasses or separate-pair wearers who are tired of the on-off routine and might be ready for a first varifocal
- Single-vision wearers who told us about peripheral clarity, thickness or weight — where a more individually fitted design is worth exploring
- Varifocal wearers who mentioned adaptation or peripheral clarity, but whose day does not call for a task pair
- Anyone who would rather have one pair — we start here and are honest about what a task pair would still do better
What's in this configuration
What we measure, decide and check.
- Your Lens Profile, checked against your prescription in practice
- Prescription validated — bring your current glasses
- The distances you actually use, noted from your profile and measured where it matters
- Whether you need a reading addition at all — confirmed before any lens
- Your adaptation history taken into account
- Coating chosen for a reason you gave us — never added to raise the price
- Explained and, where available, demonstrated against what you wear today
- Fitting review after you collect — adjusted or put right if needed
And the design parameters, where the design accepts them
- Frame dimensions and fitting heights measured for this design; corridor length chosen for your frame depth — 10, 12 or 14 mm
- Position-of-wear — how the frame sits: wrap angle, pantoscopic tilt, vertex distance — measured in practice where the design accepts it
- Near inset set from your measured working distance
Your own Lens Profile lists only the parameters the design it names can actually take — a lens that has no near inset is never shown one. Source: Nikon Lenswear Dispensing Guide 2026.

The lens technology underneath.
Nikon Presio family for a first or everyday varifocal (the guide names Presio Balance for first-time wearers); Nikon NL AS Z or SeeMax Infinite Z for individually fitted single vision. The exact design is a dispensing decision.
Lens technology: Nikon Lenswear. Configuration: STOTTS.
The lens technology is Nikon Lenswear's and is available from other opticians. The configuration — assessment, measurements, design parameters and dispensing — is ours.
What it won't do
Said before you choose, not after.
Who it isn't for
When the profile says no.
- Separate reading glasses Your varifocals already carry your near vision and you have not reported reading difficulty — a separate reading pair would mostly duplicate what you have.
- A dedicated computer pair Screens aren't a big enough part of your day to justify a pair of their own.
How we decide
In practice, in this order.
- 01Current prescription, including whether a reading addition is needed at all
- 02Frame dimensions and fitting heights
- 03Position-of-wear measurements where the design accepts them
- 04Adaptation history
A case, in outline
A reading-glasses wearer who takes them off and looks over the top, reads for hours and finds small print harder. The profile points at one lens instead of two — a first varifocal — with the honest note that the reading addition is confirmed first and that separate pairs remain a good choice.
An outline, not a promise: every configuration is confirmed against a prescription and measured in practice.
Everyday questions.
Is STOTTS. Everyday just a standard varifocal?
No. The lens family may be an everyday Nikon design, but the configuration is the assessment, the measurements, the fitting-height and corridor decisions, the position-of-wear values where the design accepts them and the review afterwards. That is what we mean by individually fitted.
What if I would rather keep separate pairs?
Then we keep separate pairs. Some people genuinely prefer them, and the profile says so on the card. We would review the pairs you have rather than push you into one lens.
Can the answer really be "change very little"?
Yes. When nothing you told us earns a change, the Lens Profile says so — and Everyday is the configuration that can honestly be nearly nothing.
