Bod Lenses uses artificial intelligence to manufacture lenses 

We implemented artificial intelligence (AI) for eye lens manufacturing and individualization. Bod Lenses introduced the most innovative product in the market – Compass Lens. They can adapt to all customer's needs using an AI algorithm. These progressive lenses collect the information, analyse it, and accurately generate the most suitable solution for the client. In such an innovative way, the adaption of eyeglass lenses became rapid and meticulously accurate. Different clients have different needs, and the selection of spectacles used to be a challenge for opticians. Now the opticians can use the algorithm calculation and have an opportunity to learn about the customer's lifestyle, personalized choices, and experience with the previous eyeglasses. The optician puts the data into the system, and AI processes the information, creates a design of progressive Compass Lens and sends it to our laboratory for manufacturing.

Bod Lenses speed up quality check processes of the lenses manufacturing by establishing quality testing laboratory

We invested in a new quality testing laboratory that will allow us to boost the quality check process of our products. The quality testing of coatings previously implemented abroad is now available in the state-of-the-art laboratory in Lithuania, Vilnius.

The establishment of the new quality testing laboratory is the crucial element while improving the manufacturing of products and seeking a meticulous quality of the eye lenses. Before developing the new laboratory, the testing of eye lenses was carried out in laboratories abroad. Because of that, the modification, improvement, and manufacturing of the products took longer. Bod Lenses solved this issue with the modern laboratory, sped up the quality check processes of lens coatings, and ensured quality monitoring of the coatings.

Also, in the Bod Lenses laboratory, the two-year lenses coating wearing simulation is implemented while illuminating the lenses with UV rays and keeping them in a high temperature and humidity environment.
