Our technology

Precision, from first look to final lens.

We've invested in the technology to look after your eyes in more detail — and to make lenses that are genuinely made for you.

ZEISS VISUFIT 1000 in the practice
A fully digital ZEISS ecosystem

From your eye test to your lenses.

Every step is connected. Your prescription, your measurements and the exact shape of your frame travel digitally from our test room to ZEISS, where your lenses are individually calculated and made.

  1. 01

    Your eye examination

    Your eyes are profiled with the ZEISS i.Profiler plus and your prescription refined on our ZEISS VISUPHOR digital refraction system.

  2. 02

    Sent digitally

    Your prescription is transferred electronically from the test room to our ZEISS VISUFIT 1000 — no hand-copied numbers.

  3. 03

    3D measurement

    VISUFIT captures a 180° 3D image of you wearing your chosen frame, measuring its exact position in front of your eyes.

  4. 04

    Frame scanned in store

    Your frame is digitally scanned here in the practice, so its exact shape is captured precisely.

  5. 05

    Custom-made by ZEISS

    Everything is combined and sent electronically to ZEISS, where your lenses are individually calculated and made for you.

Why it matters

Lenses made for you — not just your prescription.

Two people with the same prescription can need very different lenses. How your frame sits on your face, the distance from your eyes to the lenses, the angle and wrap of the frame and its exact shape all affect how well you see.

  • No hand-copied numbers — your prescription and measurements are transferred electronically, removing the risk of transcription errors
  • Individual lenses — ZEISS uses your personal data to calculate lenses for your eyes, your face and your frame
  • Especially valuable for varifocals and stronger prescriptions, where precision makes the biggest difference
  • A permanent digital record, so we can reproduce or refine your lenses in future
