VSP Optics Launches AI-Driven Unity V3 Progressive Lenses

RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. – Today, VSP^® Optics announced the introduction of Unity^® V3 Progressive Lenses, the company’s latest development in lens design that combines artificial intelligence (AI) and sophisticated optical innovation to provide patients with lenses that are easier to fit and customized to their unique prescription.

“At VSP Optics, we’re doubling down on innovative lens solutions at the forefront of optical advancements, with the goal of exceeding the expectations of both eye care professionals and their patients,” said VSP Optics Senior Vice President of Strategic Development Randy Dannewitz. “Building on 15 years of trusted expertise from our Unity portfolio, Unity V3 Progressive Lenses are designed to help elevate performance, provide more effortless adaptation for wearers, and support private practices with truly differentiated products and value for their patients.”

Using an AI predictive model that is informed by more than eight million anonymized prescriptions and half a million de-identified data points, Unity V3 aggregates behavioral data from gaze patterns to create a progressive lens that helps optimize near, immediate, and far zones for the wearer, resulting in a wider, clearer field of vision.

Unlike most other progressive lenses, the science behind Unity V3 minimizes and positions aberrations where they won’t be seen, giving patients a reading area that better fits their needs and helps reduce swim - the shifting or swaying feeling a patient may experience with progressive lenses when moving their head. 

Unity V3 Progressive Lenses can be fit during a standard patient eye exam without extra equipment. This helps eye care professionals to more easily dispense highly personalized lenses that provide an easier adjustment period to better meet the patient’s specific vision requirements.

Unity V3 Progressive Lenses are available to order now through the Unity Distributor Lab Network.
