Smart safety from Rochester Optical and Vuzix

Video eyewear and smart glasses producer Vuzix has announced that its M100 smart glasses are now available in a prescription capable safety lens.

Smart eyewear lens specialist Rochester Optical has developed the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) rated Smart Gold safety lenses for the Vuzix device and hoped it would help companies solve their safety eyeglasses and industrial smart eyewear problems without comprising worker safety.

The Smart Gold lenses have been optimised for use with augmented reality glasses with specific adjustments in the corners of lenses where head up displays are located. For employees using smart glasses for long periods of time at work, the lenses can reduce eye strain and fatigue, says the manufacturer.
