Personalized Progressive Lenses with Mimesys VR Fitting

Q: What are VR-fitted progressive lenses?

They are progressive lenses customized using in-office VR eye-tracking data. The process helps create a lens design that better matches how you naturally use your eyes.

Q: How long does the fitting take?

Most VR fittings take about 20 to 30 minutes during your visit.

Q: Is this only for progressive lenses?

No. It can also be used for computer lenses for patients who spend a lot of time working at intermediate distances.

Q: Will this help if I have struggled with progressives before?

It may. Patients who have had trouble adapting to progressive lenses often benefit from a more personalized fitting process.

Q: Do I still need an eye exam?

Yes, if your prescription needs to be updated. Our onsite optometrist can help determine the right prescription before your lenses are made.

At The Optical Shop in Newtonville, MA, we offer progressive and office lenses customized with Mimesys VR eye-tracking technology for smoother transitions and better comfort in everyday use.

A Smarter Way to Fit Progressive Lenses

At The Optical Shop, we know that progressive lenses can feel great when they are fitted well - and frustrating when they are not. Some people struggle with narrow reading zones, awkward head positioning, or a lens design that never quite feels natural.

That is why we offer VR-fitted progressive and office lenses using Mimesys technology. Instead of relying only on standard measurements, this process captures how your eyes naturally move as you shift between near, intermediate, and distance viewing.

The result is a more personalized lens design based on how you actually use your vision during the day - whether you spend hours at a computer, move between conversation and reading, or need comfortable all-day wear.

The fitting is done right here in the office and usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
