Vivior produceert de allereerste aangepaste, corrigerende lenzen met behulp van gegevens van zijn draagbare apparaat
ZURICH–(BUSINESS WIRE)– In een test heeft Vivior individuele visuele gewoontes bepaald met behulp van de Vivior Visual Behavior Monitor en, gebaseerd op deze objectieve gegevens, op maat gemaakte lenzen voor de correctie van het gezichtsvermogen van elk van de deelnemers aan de test geleverd.
Als eerste bedrijf in de geschiedenis van de optische industrie heeft Vivior gebruik gemaakt van gegevens die door testpersonen zijn verzameld om een optisch ontwerp voor multifocale brillenglazen (ook wel Progressive Addition Lenses of PAL’s genoemd) te berekenen. Dit ontwerp werd vervolgens gebruikt om de brillenglazen te produceren die momenteel worden getest. De nieuwe PAL’s van Vivior worden berekend en geproduceerd door middel van een objectieve meting van het werkelijke visuele gedrag van elke patiënt en niet gebaseerd op statistieken of studies.

Vivior Produces First Ever Customized, Corrective Lenses Using Data from Its Wearable Device
ZURICH–(BUSINESS WIRE)– In a test, Vivior determined individual visual habits using the Vivior Visual Behavior Monitor and, based on this objective data, provided customized vision correction lenses to each of the test participants.
As the first company in the history of the optical industry, Vivior has used data gathered by test persons to calculate an optical design for progressive spectacle lenses (also called Progressive Addition Lenses or PALs). This design was then used to manufacture the spectacle lenses which are currently being tested. Vivior’s new PALs are calculated and produced through an objective measurement of the real-life visual behavior and not based on statistics or studies.
Mario Stark, CEO at Vivior, explains: “This test shows that it is possible to use objective data about individual visual behavior to customize the vision correction solution. It opens new opportunities and new business models for Vivior.”
Paul Soye, PhD, MBA, member of the Board of Directors at Vivior and former Global Head R&D of Alcon Cataract Surgery, adds: “We are thrilled to offer anybody seeking vision correction the option to receive a truly individual, customized solution. Everybody has a unique viewing lifestyle, therefore needs unique vision correction.”
