Flexible Lens Design Solutions

With ZEISS Customer Enablement.

Optimised Back-Surface Progressive Lens Invention

In 1996, Dr. Albrecht Hof and Adalbert Hanssen invented a new way of making progressive lenses, customised for each patient’s prescription, with all of the progressive optics on the back surface. This innovation has revolutionised the optical industry and changed the way lenses are made today.

Freeform Lens Design

Calculation Interface

Our patented software linking each customer to their personalised designs.

Morphing Engine

Precise variation of parameters to alter the base design:

Corridor length
Distance & near zone widths
Object distance & periphery

Modular Customization

Switching specific features on or off on demand:

Rx Compensation
Position of Wear
Custom Engravings
