The Philosophy of High Vision
The philosophy behind Schneider’s lens production is “High Vision.” Today, we believe that everyone deserves excellent vision. Anyone who wears glasses is certainly seeking a solution to visual problems.
Our belief is that quality is extremely important. There are always people who demand perfection and want their glasses to be fully adapted to their eyes and vision needs, and they expect only the highest level of performance from innovative products.
Schneider’s manufacturing tools are designed to place these exact preferences at the consumer’s disposal. By using Schneider’s advanced advisory software, the best choices are always available. The eyewear user can actively participate in the design process and select lenses that best match their ideal needs.
The technologies used in the production of our products, which are explained below, play a key role in manufacturing our premium lenses.
ILD – Individual Lens Design Technology
With scientific progress, modern lens manufacturing technologies now allow us to offer different levels of quality. If we aim to fully utilize production capabilities and deliver maximum efficiency, using personalization technology is the best approach.
The physical characteristics and facial features of each individual are unique. Just as eyeglasses must be suitable for each person’s face, lens design must also be personalized. This individualization can be precisely achieved by using personal lens parameters.
IOD – Inset Adjustment Based on PD in Progressive Lenses
The main visual pathway in progressive lenses is the corridor through which the progressive viewing zone is observed. This corridor should provide a more natural adaptation for the wearer.
The field of vision in intermediate and near zones is clearer and more transparent, and binocular vision is better perceived. Schneider’s progressive lenses are produced gradually and comfortably by using variable data.
NVC – Fundamentals of Near Vision Custom Design
Since users need appropriate vision at all viewing distances, special attention to comfortable and clear near vision is a primary goal of this technology.
Near vision in progressive lenses depends on usage type, the wearer’s occupation, typical viewing distance, workspace, and daily needs. Schneider’s dedicated technology customizes this part of the progressive lens accordingly.
LDF – Advanced Freeform Lens Manufacturing Technology
By using advanced freeform design technology, we ensure the widest possible viewing zones across all refractive data and viewing conditions in progressive lenses.
POT – Power Optimization and Base Curve Design
The optical principles used in lens manufacturing focus on creating a user-friendly design. With careful engineering, each customized lens provides wide and balanced fields of vision, even in distance and near vision at the same time, including cases of anisometropia.
WHC / P.O.W – Wavefront Calculations
By developing a special method to describe local wavefronts at the lens surface, optimization at a higher level—such as personalized power optimization—is made possible exclusively through dedicated design software.
ILC – Technology Based on Lens Design Inputs
To achieve the desired lens, the process begins by collecting lens specifications such as prescription data, frame parameters, and the user’s visual needs. Initial calculations are then performed using Schneider’s specialized software.
AIA – Artificial Intelligence–Based Technology
Through collaboration with global designers and shared access to consumer data, artificial intelligence selects the most suitable lens designs for calculation and production.
SET – Schneider Exclusive Technology
Since people living in different regions of the world have unique genetic characteristics and visual habits, Schneider takes these physiological and behavioral differences into account during the design process.
