EssilorLuxottica shows AI potential with the XR Series

More than 400 eye care professionals from over 250 practices around the UK descended on Hilton Wembley London Hotel last week for the UK launch of EssilorLuxottica’s latest iteration of its Varliux lens, the XR Series. 

Hosted by The Chase TV quizzer and former GP, Paul Sinha, attendees learned how artificial intelligence (AI) had been harnessed to provide data on a person’s visual behaviours, which included more than 100,000 eye movements each day.

The data was used to produce digital twin technology, and the R&D team replicated a patient performing multiple realistic visual tasks in a 3D environment, allowing scientists to visual behaviour profiles using virtual modelling to copy real life tasks for every single prescription and provide the first eye-responsive lens that respects the natural behaviour of the eye.
