RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. – VSP® Optics announces the introduction of Unity® Via Elite VR powered by mimesys®, the first fully personalized progressive addition lens (PAL) developed with virtual reality. Built on the industry-leading Unity Via Elite II Progressives, this new premium product allows providers to incorporate a patient’s gaze dynamics into their diagnosis creating a fully personalized progressive lens with optimal acuity.
“At VSP Optics, we are committed to providing eye care professionals with innovative lens solutions that meet the needs of patients and providers alike,” said VSP Optics Senior Vice President of Strategic Development Randy Dannewitz. “Unity Via Elite VR optimizes vision correction with unmatched precision while also maximizing practice efficiency, effectiveness, profitability, and patient and staff satisfaction.”
With the use of a virtual reality headset, Unity Via Elite VR captures a highly accurate diagnosis of a patient’s gaze activity based on eye and head movements. This data mapping translates the patient’s behavioral data into a unique lens surface design, offering tailor-made lenses crafted specifically for the patients’ vision requirements.
Unity Via Elite VR removes the need for patients to give their eyes time to adjust to lens corridors, aberrations, and visual zones. The unique data mapping technology ensures a patient’s near, intermediate, and distance prescriptions are precisely positioned where their eyes need them to be on the lens, minimizing adaptation conversations and the need for adjustments.
This innovative lens solution marks a significant advancement in vision care, offering a progressive lens option developed with advanced technology that is easy to fit, recommend, and dispense. Unity Via Elite VR will be exclusively available to VSP members. VSP network doctors interested in adopting the technology early can join a priority list for early access.
