Long before digital cameras were invented (1996), Eyeweb’s parent company was busy developing virtual try-on technologies for hairstyles and other cosmetic applications. These are the same techniques that we use on our websites (and license to others) to allow you to virtually try on frames. We later developed sonar-based measurement technologies for optometrists and opticians which eliminated eyeglass remakes due to measurement errors from manual PD rulers. This background provided the foundation for our Pupillary Distance (PD) measurement patent which is also used by major online eyewear retailers to remotely calculate the measurements needed for precision eyewear. In 2012, we released the first Safety Eyewear kiosk application - now used by thousands of employees every day to purchase their eyewear on their company premises. We also led the way with the first mobile APPs to allow users to capture their photos, and measurements and upload their printed eyeglass prescriptions to our websites. These innovative uses of technology allow us to meet our other objectives: Value and Convenience.
