Progressive Lens Design calculations have progressed significantly, moving from simple, first-order approximations to complex, computer-aided simulations. Get familiar with LENSEEK’s three major technologies used to calculate and design progressive lenses.
Almost all the LENSEEK progressive lens designs are available using one of our three core technologies:
This allows customers to create three distinct products from each design, addressing different needs, requirements, and price points.
Please note that the driving lens design is exclusively available with FORMAT technology.

The 5C lens calculation technology is used to produce complex lens designs. It is LENSEEK’s regular calculation method for creating premium lenses suitable for all users.

The ADAPT lens calculation technology represents an advanced approach to superior lens design computation. Developed by LENSEEK, this sophisticated system is engineered to deliver outstanding wearer comfort and quality.

The FORMAT lens calculation technology builds upon the ADAPT calculation method, incorporating frame shape data into the process. As LENSEEK’s most advanced calculation technology, it enables the creation of individualized exceptional products designed to deliver an unparalleled wearer experience.

LENSEEK validates the inclusion of frame data by comparing it to conventional backside progressive designs. The results confirm that FORMAT technology significantly minimizes unwanted astigmatism without affecting the area of clear vision.
Experience the full power of the prism thinning with the LENSEEK FORMAT technology. Because of the integration of the frame data, the LENSEEK software delivers individual optimized prism thinning for plus power lenses. It dramatically reduces the lens thickness at every point even more. It creates a sleeker, lighter solution for plus-power wearers.

Marginal astigmatism doesn't just make the edges of the vision blurry; it fundamentally alters how shapes and movements are perceived.
Say goodbye to the dizzying "swim effect" of new glasses. Lenseek ADAPT and Lenseek FORMAT technology specifically targets and reduces unwanted distortion at the edges of your lenses. Let the wearer enjoy instant adaptation, a wider field of view, and perfectly stable vision — even while in motion.
