The Internal Freeform lens is the most advanced lens technology available. For a wearer, the difference in quality, clarity, and field of view can be remarkable. Many of our patients say the improvement is like the difference between regular TV and HD-TV.
Unlike conventional lenses which place the visual needs on the front surface of the lens (which can cause distortion due to the uneven curvature of the front of the lens) Internal Freeform lenses have the visual needs digitally and 3-dimensionally fused onto the back surface of the lens. Placing the prescription closer to the eye gives the wearer a much wider field of view (demonstrated in the below image). It also alleviates the distortion common with front surfaced lenses.
Internal Freeform technology uses advanced software to create a lens that is customized not just to your prescription but that is also digitally calculated to match the movements of your eye. This allows for natural eye movements through the lens - rather than awkward head movements to find the visual center of the lens. And Internal Freeform lenses go one step further by accounting for how far the frames will sit from your eyes, the tilt that results when resting on your nose, and even the curvature around your face. True personalized vision!

"My prescription hasn't changed. But when I look through my old glasses and compare them to my new glasses, the difference is unbelievable. It's just so much clearer. I've been telling all my friends that it really is like seeing in HD!"
"I had no idea that there were differences in lenses until I got my new glasses last year. If I had known, I would have gotten these new glasses a long time ago. They are just so much better. So much clearer."
