What is KUDOS®?

KUDOS® uses the latest virtual reality technology to create a progressive lens designed using the wearer’s gaze dynamics. The KUDOS VR Headset intelligently captures the exact way a patient looks at objects and the world around them.  KUDOS® analyses all points and directions of gaze, capturing near, intermediate and distance focal lengths. The outcome is a KUDOS® lens offering wider natural vision, with minimal oblique astigmatism. KUDOS® technology paves the way in a new era of personalised dispensing.  Conventional methods of BVD, panto and bow are used in conjunction with the unique KUDOS® technology to provide a bespoke progressive lens tailored to each individual. KUDOS® is suitable for new and existing progressive wearers as it offers a fully personalised dispensing solution.

HOW DOES KUDOS® WORK?

KUDOS® learns the gaze dynamics of each wearer.

Once wearing the KUDOS® VR Headset, the virtual experience takes around three minutes.  KUDOS® learns all points and directions of gaze of the wearer.

KUDOS® analyses gaze dynamics with unparalleled precision.

The KUDOS® software produces
the KUDOS® Map – three frequency of use heat maps one for each visual range – near, intermediate and distance.

KUDOS® Map creates infinite solutions for infinite users.

The KUDOS® Map produces a 19-digit code which when sent to our lab creates the bespoke progressive lens design for each patient. This ensures optimal
vision with the least amount of oblique astigmatism.

KUDOS® Coach simulates using state-of-the-art technology.

This provides users with an immersive experience comparable to wearing progressives, bifocals or single vision lenses in real life.

KUDOS® BOOST

JKL Homepage Banners - June 20262

A new generation of anti-fatigue lenses.

KUDOS® BOOST is designed for modern pre-presbyopic wearers experiencing increasing visual demands from screens and close-up tasks.

KUDOS® BOOST takes a different approach by incorporating gaze dynamics into the lens design, helping to support visual comfort and near vision based on how each patient naturally looks at the world.

Unlike conventional anti-fatigue lenses that typically use standard add powers, KUDOS® BOOST is available in 0.60D, 0.80D and 1.00D boost levels, allowing a more gradual approach to visual support and wearer comfort.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

  • Provides a near-vision boost to support close-up tasks
  • Helps reduce visual fatigue during prolonged near work
  • Maintains clarity and consistency across gaze directions

KUDOS® SV

JKL Homepage Banners - June 2026

A new generation of single-vision lenses.

KUDOS® SV is engineered for modern visual demands.

KUDOS® SV lenses are designed using individual gaze data, captured in a realistic virtual reality (VR) environment. This process measures how the patient’s eyes and head naturally move across different distances.

By analysing this behaviour, KUDOS® SV lenses are designed to match the wearer’s natural viewing habits. This supports more precise vision and comfortable viewing throughout the day.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

  • Minimises oblique aberrations across all gaze directions
  • Maintains clarity and consistency at every viewing angle
