Visual Innovations and Technologies

Our connected devices are increasingly integrating technologies that make it easier to facilitate or automate daily tasks. Multiple projects are underway to incorporate these technological advancements into traditional optical devices, turning eyeglasses into multifunctional connected instruments.

Opticien Platinum commit to being at the forefront of these innovations, to offer you the most suitable personalized solutions and enrich your visual experience.

Innovative frames:
At the end of the 90s, Oakley has revolutionized eyewear with the integration of an MP3 player. Today, partnerships between Meta, Essilor and other technology giants have led to frame like Spectacle and Ray Ban Stories, which merge connectivity, social media, and augmented reality.

These products offer innovative functionalities such as photo/video capture, live notifications, and voice control, while displaying contextual information via mini screens integrated into the lenses.

Smart lenses:
Innovation goes beyond frames to touch the ophthalmic lenses themselves.

• A first generation of smart lenses emerged in the 90s with Transitions Optical's corrective photochromic lenses. Since then, these lenses have continued to evolve.
• Today, advancements such as Morrow Eyewear's liquid crystal corrective lenses allow for modulable visual correction with a simple press on the temple, alternating between far and near vision.

These advances are complemented by initiatives focused on visual health, aiming to improve the daily life of people with retinal disorders:

• Light Vision has introduced devices capable of detecting healthy areas of the retina to project received images, thus preserving visual integrity.
• The CNRS has developed eyeglasses that stimulate retinal implants called PRIMA. An integrated sensor converts visual information into electrical signals, which are then transmitted by infrared to electrodes located on the retina to be processed by the brain via the optic nerve.

We are at the dawn of a new era where eyeglasses go beyond vision to become tools of health and personal technology, paving the way for a promising future for eye health. For tailored advice, your Opticien Platinum is at your disposal to precisely meet your needs for high-definition vision.
