Clinical trials rooted in customer satisfaction

The true success of any lens design rests on firsthand user experiences, so we engage real-life glasses wearers in our extensive validation process. We perform around 20 wearer trials annually, testing potential lens designs on around 600 wearers to ensure our lenses meet the highest standards of performance and satisfaction.

Our skilled team of optometrists, mathematicians, and administrators lead the research and testing of your custom lens solutions. Using advanced tools like aberrometers and eye-tracking devices, we closely monitor the optical reactions of glasses wearers. With our expert team driving these trials, we develop powerful solutions tailored to your market needs.
