“The position of the display area in GoogleGlass
is not designed for visual acuity,” Ho said.
“Our technology ensures that wearers see the
images presented to them with visual clarity.”
To adapt to the Smart GOLD™ Lenses, Rochester
Optical offers Smart Frames, designed to optimize
your viewing experience when wearing prescription
lenses with your wearable technology device, like
Google Glass, Vuzix M100, and Epson
Moverio BT-200.
“This technology is computer and technologically
driven, but there is little knowledge in the tech
industry about prescription eyewear,” Patrick Ho
said. Smart Frames provide the highest degree of
technology built into the frame to ensure the best
possible viewing experience.
The frames are sleek and lightweight. They are
designed to work well with the highest prescription
range, which often includes extra thick lenses.
Paired with Smart GOLD™ Lenses, the combination provides a superior front tilt, giving the wearer
the proper angle for clear viewing.
Patrick Ho noted the solution to smart lenses that
work for people with eye issues should come from
within the eyewear industry. Utilizing two industry
leaders in providing the right kind of lenses for this
technology has allowed wearers to purchase their
smart glasses with confidence.
By utilizing the expertise and technology at
Plastic Plus, we will make this technology available
in Canada for the first time. “We are excited to work
with Rochester Optical on the partnership,” said
Paul Faibish, president of Plastic Plus.
Plastic Plus is Canada’s leading independent
optical lab and lens supplier. The production line
utilizes 100 per cent digital, precision surfacing
and processes all lenses to 1/1,000th of a diopter.
Plastic Plus will be able to supply their ECP accounts
in Canada and in the United States with this new
technology. This type of accuracy is vital to having
a clear and accurate lens when viewing information
through smart technology.
“We are proud to offer our clients this technology
and help people see the world through new digital
devices and applications,” said Faibish.
Smart GOLD™ is available in single vision, flat
top 28 bifocals, and progressive styles and can

accommodate the widest Rx range available -12.00D to
a +8.00D Sph. with a -4.00D Cyl. The choice of standard
plastic, Trivex, and High Index lens materials gives
wearers an exceptional visual experience.
“This is the next step in wearable technology. It will
become a greater part of our lives as we find new ways to
adapt this kind of technology to eyewear,” said Faibish.
