Digital lenses

How are digital lenses made?

The prescription

Specialized technology scans your eyes digitally, collecting a lot of data points on each eye.

This information assists the equipment’s algorithms in determining a prescription that accounts for both your refractive error and the particular variances in the shape and surface of your eyes.

The resulting prescription gives you the best vision balance, including better night vision.

Optimizing the lens

After you’ve decided on a frame, you’ll need to take some new measures, such as how close the frame sits to the front of your eye, how you tilt your head and how it wraps around your face.

These precise measurements ensure that your prescription will be as clear as it should be when you put on your new high-tech glasses.

Manufacturing

Your order will be sent to a lab which uses a computer-controlled, free-form generator to construct the lenses.

Your new, high-tech prescription written to 1/100th of a diopter can be read and responded to by the generator. The lenses are designed to account for differences in your eyes throughout the surface of the lens.

This may not only improve your vision, but it may also improve your vision across a larger portion of your lens.

What is free-form technology?

Free-form technology is a cutting-edge digital manufacturing technique that employs computer-aided design and surfacing to produce high-quality, personalized eyeglass lenses with your specific prescription.

Consider it a personal shopper for your eyes. You may now have lenses created specifically for your precise prescription and frames, just like you can have an off-the-rack pair of jeans adjusted to meet your specific specifications.
