Custom-Fit Eyemetrics Glasses in Seoul with Neuro Select 7X Progressive Lenses
More people are staying active these days, whether through golf, running, cycling, hiking, or regular fitness activities. As a result, we are also seeing more customers who are looking for glasses that remain stable and comfortable even when they move a lot.
A common question we hear is:
“Are there glasses that don’t keep sliding down when I exercise?”
This customer traveled all the way from Canada to visit EyeDaQ Optical in Myeongdong, Seoul, and chose two pairs of Eyemetrics glasses.
One pair was made with clear progressive lenses for everyday use, while the second pair was designed for outdoor activities and golf with a Golf Brown tint.
Although both pairs use a similar Eyemetrics frame design, the two glasses have very different personalities. The black-and-gold combination creates a refined and elegant look for everyday wear, while the black-and-silver frame with brown-tinted lenses has a more active and sporty appearance.
Why Eyemetrics Glasses Are Ideal for an Active Lifestyle
One of the biggest advantages of Eyemetrics is its custom-fit approach.
Most conventional eyeglass frames are manufactured in standard sizes and then adjusted to fit the wearer. Eyemetrics takes a different approach by measuring the individual wearer first and using those measurements to create a frame that fits the face and head more precisely.
The Eyemetrics system uses three-dimensional facial measurements to analyze important fitting factors such as the relationship between the eyes, nose, ears, and head shape.
The bridge, temples, hinges, and earpieces can then be configured according to the wearer’s individual measurements.
This is particularly helpful for customers who have experienced problems such as:
glasses sliding down during exercise,
pressure around the temples,
discomfort behind the ears,
frequent frame movement when looking down,
or glasses that require constant repositioning.
For an active wearer, simply tightening the temples is not the best solution. If a frame is adjusted too tightly, it can create uncomfortable pressure around the temples and behind the ears.
The goal is to create a balanced fit that keeps the glasses stable without excessive pressure.
This is where the Eyemetrics fitting concept becomes especially useful.
Stable Frame Position Is Especially Important with Progressive Lenses
A secure fit is important for all glasses, but it becomes even more important when wearing progressive lenses.
Progressive lenses contain several viewing zones within one lens.
The upper portion is generally used for distance vision, the intermediate area is used for middle-distance tasks, and the lower part of the lens is used for near vision.
If the glasses constantly slide down the nose, the position of these viewing zones also changes in relation to the eyes.
Even an advanced progressive lens cannot perform at its best if the frame does not remain in the position for which it was originally measured.
For this reason, we consider frame fitting, lens positioning, and progressive lens design as parts of the same process.
Neuro Select 7X Double-Surface Progressive Lenses
For both pairs, we used Neuro Select 7X progressive lenses from Tokai Optical.
The prescription was:
Right Eye: -1.50D
Left Eye: -1.50D
ADD: +1.25D
The prescription for distance vision is the same in both eyes, with an additional reading power of +1.25D.
Neuro Select 7X is an advanced progressive lens design that uses both the front and back surfaces of the lens to optimize the progressive power distribution.
One of the goals of this design is to provide smoother transitions between distance, intermediate, and near vision while reducing the sensation of peripheral distortion commonly associated with progressive lenses.
Designed with Binocular Vision in Mind
One of the interesting characteristics of the Neuro Select series is its approach to binocular vision.
We do not actually see the world with one eye at a time.
The right and left eyes collect slightly different visual information, and the brain combines those signals into a single visual image.
With progressive lenses, the quality of peripheral vision can sometimes differ between the right and left eyes when looking away from the center of the lens.
Neuro Select uses a binocular-linked design concept intended to improve the balance between the two eyes when viewing through the peripheral portions of the progressive lens.
The goal is not simply to improve the optical performance of each individual lens, but to create more comfortable vision when both eyes are working together.
This type of design can be particularly valuable for people who frequently move their eyes between distance, intermediate, and near objects throughout the day.
A Second Pair for Golf and Outdoor Activities
The second pair was made with the same Neuro Select 7X progressive lens design, but with a Golf Brown tint.
Brown and amber-based lens colors are often preferred for outdoor activities because they can enhance the perception of contrast in certain lighting conditions.
On a golf course, for example, the wearer needs to recognize subtle differences between the grass, slopes, shadows, and surrounding terrain.
The warm brown tint also creates a completely different visual appearance compared with conventional clear lenses.
For this customer, the two glasses serve clearly different purposes.
The clear pair can be used for everyday activities, work, driving, and general indoor use.
The Golf Brown pair is intended primarily for golf and other outdoor activities.
Instead of trying to make one pair of glasses perform every possible function, having two pairs designed for different environments can often provide greater comfort and convenience.
Custom Progressive Glasses in Myeongdong, Seoul
his case also shows why the performance of progressive glasses depends on more than just the lens itself.
A good progressive lens needs to work together with accurate vision testing, proper centration, appropriate frame selection, and precise fitting.
If the frame moves significantly during use, the carefully designed viewing zones of the progressive lens also move in relation to the eyes.
Eyemetrics provides an advantage because the frame is designed around the individual wearer’s facial measurements.
Combined with a high-quality progressive lens such as Neuro Select 7X, the goal is to create glasses that remain comfortable and stable while providing smooth vision from distance to near.
For customers who enjoy golf, running, cycling, hiking, or other active lifestyles, frame stability can make a significant difference in everyday comfort.
This customer traveled from Canada to our optical shop in Myeongdong and selected two Eyemetrics glasses: one for everyday use and another for golf and outdoor activities.
The prescription is the same, but each pair has a different purpose.
That is one of the most important points when designing custom eyewear.
Good glasses are not simply about choosing an expensive frame or lens.
They are the result of accurate vision testing, appropriate lens design, precise measurements, professional fitting, and understanding how the customer actually uses their glasses.
At EyeDaQ Optical in Myeongdong, Seoul, we consider all of these factors when making prescription glasses and progressive lenses for both Korean and international customers.
