Finding the ideal pair of glasses often involves trying on a multitude of frames, this is often time-consuming and can be stressful at the best of times, but is especially difficult during the current “lock down and social distancing” constraints that we are all currently enduring.

However, thanks to amazing new technology from ZEISS VISION CARE, spectacle wearers can now be treated to a “virtual try-on”.

The virtual “try-on” is designed and made by the innovative lens provider, ZEISS VISION CARE, it is created by taking an image on the ZEISS VisuFit1000 – an innovative system that recreates a precise 180-degree image of your face and head shape using nine individual high definition cameras.

It then uses a clever algorithm to analyse the face, skin tone, eye and even hair colour before creating a 3D exact personal AVATAR of your face and head!

You are then able to see which frame shapes are best suited to your complexion and face shape whilst also ‘trying-on’ a wide range of colours and frame styles. This is especially helpful if you have a high prescription and cannot see clearly without your normal eyewear.

This quick and simple process provides you with the confidence to make a fully informed decision about your choice. It also enables us to provide a minimal contact consultation in order to keep you safe, AND the added benefit is that using these exact measurements we are then able to design lenses that are truly individualised to your exact anatomy and face shape.

John Rose, the senior Optometrist and practice owner, comments:

“Choosing frames that suit a client’s face shape, prescription and colouring is what we pride ourselves on at John Rose Eye Care. Having this specialised equipment in the Practice not only enables our clients to create their own avatars in an instant but allows us to take measurements and design spectacle lenses that are truly individual. This has the benefit of ensuring that the most exact, most comfortable and safest level of vision is achieved on an individual basis for all our clients.

It has already revolutionised the way that we dispense spectacles and the most exciting development on the horizon is that once your personal AVATAR has been created it will soon be possible to try on glasses and take measurements remotely in the comfort of your own home!!!”

With ZEISS technology, you can now be confident you look great and have the best possible glasses to suit you whilst being reassured that you can choose them in a safe and hygienic way.
