KUDOS® by Jai Kudo Lenses receive UK Technology Award
Jai Kudo Lenses, part of the Millmead Optical Group, have announced that their KUDOS progressive lens system has won the prestigious Technology category in the 2024 Optician Awards, showcasing the company’s commitment to redefining patient care through cutting-edge optical technology that transforms vision correction and the dispensing experience.
James Conway, CEO of Millmead Optical Group, commented: “Winning the Technology category underscores the commitment and ingenuity of our team at Jai Kudo Lenses to develop truly ground-breaking solutions. KUDOS empowers practices to provide patients with lenses created based on their unique needs, offering exceptional clarity, seamless adaptation, and ultimate comfort. This technology doesn’t just enhance vision - it enhances lives.”
According to the company, the KUDOS system revolutionises progressive lenses by combining cutting-edge virtual reality (VR) technology with personalised lens design. Using a specialised VR headset, KUDOS tracks and analyses each patient’s unique gaze dynamics, creating custom lenses that minimise oblique astigmatism, improve peripheral vision, and ensure smooth transitions between distance zones. This tailored approach results in sharp, natural vision while reducing the adjustment period for wearers.
In addition to the award-winning lens design, KUDOS integrates immersive coaching tools that help practices build patient confidence in progressive lenses.
