RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif., Nov. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Technology has invaded all aspects of our life. For most, technology has become an addiction, leaving us waiting, wanting and needing the most up-to-date device. Whether it's the newest tablet, smartphone or wearable technology, we can't wait to get our hands on tech that improves our lives, entertainment and even well-being. However, one of the biggest advancements in technology is not what we carry in our pockets, wear on our wrist, or keep in our homes; it's what we wear every day on our faces—our eyeglasses. Digital lens technology has redefined how people see and upped the ante with a new level of customization for glasses-wearers.

How do digital lenses work?
While there is only a slight difference in ordering digital lenses as opposed to old technology lenses, there is a lot of high-tech work that goes on behind the scenes.
| 1) |
Once you get your eye exam and select your frames, your eye doctor or optician will take a series of measurements. Digital lens measurements are extremely precise and measure not only unique characteristics of your eyes but also how your eyes are positioned in your chosen frame and how that frame fits your face. |
| 2) |
From there, the lenses are sent to a lab. Your prescription is digitally mapped onto lens blanks and diamond cut with sophisticated, laser-guided machines. This high-end technology ensures accuracy to 1/100 of a diopter, which is much more accurate than the traditional abrasive-ground lenses. |
