The Future of Focus: How Virtual Reality is Revolutionizing Your Progressive Lenses

Forget tunnel vision. Introduce your eyes to edge-to-edge clarity with the world’s first VR-designed progressive lens, available now at Urban Eyecare.

At Urban Eyecare we believe that high-end eyewear isn’t just about beautiful frames—it’s about the absolute best vision possible. We have always sought out independent, innovative lens technologies that offer our patients something beyond the standard.

That is why we are thrilled to announce that we are among the first to offer the Horizon Optical Mimesys Lens.

This isn’t just a small upgrade to existing progressive lenses; it is a fundamental shift in how progressive lenses are designed. It uses virtual reality to create a lens that is not just customized to your prescription, but customized to your behavior.

The Problem with Standard Progressives

If you wear progressive lenses, you know the compromise. They offer freedom from switching glasses, but they often come with a catch: narrow “corridors” of clear vision and peripheral distortions that create a “swim” effect when you turn your head quickly.

For decades, lens manufacturers have tried to minimize these issues using static measurements. But your eyes aren’t static. They move, scan, and react to the world around you in a way that is entirely unique to you.

The Mimesys lens changes everything by stopping the guessing game.

The Mimesys Difference: Designed by Your Gaze in Virtual Reality

So, how does it work? Before we order your lenses, you will take a brief, immersive journey in our office using a state-of-the-art Virtual Reality headset.

During this VR experience, you aren’t playing a game. You are exploring a realistic 3D environment. As you look around naturally, sensors inside the headset track your eye movements and “gaze dynamics” with incredible precision.

It analyzes:
⦁ How quickly your eyes move from distance to near objects.
⦁ How much you rely on moving your eyes versus turning your head.
⦁ Where your natural “sweet spots” of vision are located.

This data is then used to generate a “fingerprint” of your visual behavior, which dictates the exact design of your progressive lenses.

1.True Edge-to-Edge Clarity

This is what everyone asks for. The Mimesys design pushes distorted areas far into the periphery, significantly widening the corridors of clear vision. It feels less like looking through a lens and more like natural sight.

2. Instant Adaptation

Many people hesitate to try progressives because they fear the “adjustment period.” Because the Mimesys is engineered to match how your eyes already move, the brain accepts the new vision almost immediately. The “swim” effect is virtually eliminated, making stairs, driving, and dynamic environments comfortable right away.

3.The Ultimate Bespoke Experience

You come to our boutique because you don’t want “off-the-rack” solutions. The Mimesys is the ocular equivalent of a bespoke, tailored suit. No two pairs of Mimesys lenses are alike because no two people view the world exactly the same way.

Experience the Future Today

If you have been frustrated with the limitations of your current progressive lenses, or if you require the absolute sharpest vision for your lifestyle, the Mimesys lens was created for you.

We invite you to visit our optical boutique to experience the VR analysis for yourself and step into a new world of clarity.
