Smart Lens & Frame Solutions for AR/VR Devices

Lens and frame prototyping and scalable manufacturing are essential to the success of smart glasses development. Having worked with numerous key players in the augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) field, the Research and Development (R&D) team at Rochester Optical understands the challenges and has successfully turned creative ideas into lens and frame components to unlock the maximum potentials of the waveguide and other AR/VR display technologies. We have significantly expanded our smart solutions by focusing on:

Smart Lens & Frame Solutions for AR/VR Devices
Our R&D team has collaborated with major players in the AR/VR industry to develop innovative lens and frame solutions. Our expertise lies in their prototyping and scalable manufacturing, key to producing high-quality, prescription-enabled lenses and frames that enhance the user experience for smart glasses. By addressing the specific challenges of waveguide technology—used to display digital information within the lenses - we enables clearer vision and improved device functionality for AR/VR users.

Custom Prescription Lenses for Smart Devices
For customers who own smart glasses or wearable devices that require prescription lenses, Frame of Choice offers bespoke services. Even if the device is not listed in our shop, our team can design and create custom lenses to fit most devices, ensuring that customers can enjoy their smart devices with optimal clarity. The company specializes in various lens materials, including CR-39, polycarbonate, Trivex, and high-index lenses, allowing for customization based on specific needs.

Advanced Manufacturing and Coatings
Our state-of-the-art digital freeform facility is crucial for producing both single-vision and multifocal lenses. We also provide specialized coatings, including anti-reflective (AR) coatings that enhance visual light transmission and minimize residual coloring, and hard coatings that protect against scratches. Our ability to handle custom geometries—such as bevels, drilled holes, and notches—enables us to meet the specific design needs of AR/VR lenses.

Expansion in AR/VR Partnerships
Through our collaborations with industry leaders, we have continues to innovate and expand in the smart eyewear market. We have helped develop lens and frame solutions that enhance both vision and display quality with our advanced manufacturing capabilities and deep understanding of AR/VR technology.
