Lens Summary for Independent Opticians
Precision Drive is a personalised freeform varifocal lens developed to support visual performance and comfort while driving, by day and at night. Its specialised progressive design prioritises distance and upper-intermediate viewing areas, helping wearers look between the road, mirrors and dashboard with greater ease.
Using IOT Digital Ray-Path® technology, the lens optimises the power distribution for the wearer’s prescription and fitting parameters. A dedicated upper-distance zone can incorporate up to −0.25 D of additional negative power to help compensate for night myopia in suitable wearers. This feature is intended to support distance focus in low-light conditions; it does not eliminate headlight glare.
The design also retains near-vision correction for everyday use, providing a practical combination of driving-focused performance and progressive-lens versatility.
