ZEISS VISUFIT 1000 - Position of Wear Measurements in Modern Eye Wear

When it comes to achieving clear, comfortable vision, your spectacle prescription is only one part of the equation. The way your lenses align with your eyes — known as position of wear — plays a critical role in how accurately your prescription performs in real life.

At our practice, we’re committed to offering not just glasses, but individualised optical solutions. That’s why we’ve invested in the ZEISS VISUFIT 1000 at Raylite Optical (Orchard outlet), a state-of-the-art 3D facial scanning and centration system that redefines the standard of precision in eyewear dispensing. 

Understanding the Position of Wear
Position of wear refers to how a frame sits on your face — including:

• Pupillary distance (the horizontal positioning of the eyes in the frame).
• Frame fitting height (distance from bottom of the lens to the pupil)
• Back vertex distance (distance from the lens to the front of the eye),
• Pantoscopic tilt (the vertical tilt of the frame),
• Wrap angle (how much the frame curves around the face),
  

Even minor variations in these parameters can alter the effective power delivered to your eyes, particularly in progressive lenses, high prescriptions, or customised lens designs. 

Precision through Technology: ZEISS VISUFIT 1000
The ZEISS VISUFIT 1000 enables us to capture these critical measurements with unprecedented accuracy. Here's how it works:

• Nine synchronized cameras take a 180° image of your face and frame in a single shot.
• Over 45 million data points are used to digitally calculate your individual position of wear.
• The system accounts for natural head and body posture, minimising human error.

All measurements are transferred seamlessly to the lens production process via ZEISS VISUCONSULT 500, ensuring optimal alignment between lens design and real-world wear.

The result is a lens tailored not only to your prescription, but to how you actually wear your glasses — providing sharper vision, greater comfort, and faster adaptation.

Enhancing the Patient Experience
For many patients, especially those with strong prescriptions, trying on frames can be frustrating. Without corrective lenses in place, it’s difficult to see how frames truly look. With the VISUFIT 1000, you can view yourself at different angles and try on different lens tint colours. 

Why It Matters
In today’s eyewear landscape, personalisation is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity. Whether you're investing in high-performance progressive lenses or simply want the most accurate vision possible, precision measurements are the foundation of successful lens performance.

By leveraging ZEISS VISUFIT 1000, we can take precise measurements for:

• Accurate centration for better optical clarity,
• Proper lens alignment for reduced distortion and fatigue,
• A personalised and consultative experience
