No7 Bio
For over 40 years, No7 Contact Lenses have driven the future of specialist contact lenses. In collaboration with industry-leading global partners, we've developed products and services that can change lives and help businesses differentiate and thrive.
With a proud history of innovation, we are inspired by a drive to give every patient the sense of health and well-being they deserve. In the 80's we introduced CNC lathing technology. By the '90s, we had developed our first aspheric GP lens. The '00s saw us launch ortho-k, hybrid and scleral designs, and more recently, we've rolled out an educational website dedicated to ECPs who fit irregular corneas.
Now established as the UK's leading manufacturer of specialist lenses, No7 looks toward an exciting future. Our experienced and knowledgeable team will continue to explore fresh opportunities, working in partnership with eye care practitioners to give every patient the chance of a happy life with healthy vision.
