For a while, Luxexcel, a Meta company, was pretty much the only name in the 3D printed prescription lenses market. But that’s starting to change. NeoVision, a startup out of Singapore, is stepping into the spotlight with its own approach—proof that this niche market is finally getting some company.
Developed using advanced inkjet technology, NeoVision develops a solution that could be tailored to individual vision needs, including complex prescriptions. Its manufacturing process can process proprietary materials that comply with strict optometry lens standards, and which are compatible with a wide range of prescriptions, including high-index and progressive lenses.
The company’s patented technology works with proprietary software that converts prescription data directly into print-ready files without interfering with 3D design files. With an average production cycle shortened to 1-2 days, compared to 5-6 days, inkjet technology allows for on-demand production and reduces storage costs.
NeoVision can integrate AR, XR prescription glasses, and waveguide lens technology, which enables it to meet the demands in fields such as education, healthcare, and entertainment.
Its processing equipment can achieve various lens treatments, such as anti-reflective coatings, tints, and scratch resistance.
Nothing has been shared yet about the commercial availability of this technology or these 3D printed lenses.
