VisuLuxe Pilot Progressive
Personalized free-form progressive lens with a unique and innovative design that incorporates two zones for near vision.
Near vision in the upper and lower areas of the lens.
Progressive lenses are designed to have the upper part of the lens focus on distant objects and the lower part focus on near objects. When a wearer has a need to focus on near objects through the upper part of the lens, this configuration is not sufficient.
The design architecture of Pilot Progressive lenses is unique. In addition to a standard progressive configuration, it offers an extra segment for near vision at the top.
Raytrack 2 Technology
Pilot Progressive lenses include Raytrack 2 Technology which incorporates the intelligent use of the wearer’s accommodation into the traditional calculations for reducing oblique aberrations, resulting in a superior personalized lens. Oblique aberrations are minimized more effectively than ever before.
Upper segment adapted to the wearer’s visual needs
Pilot Progressive lenses incorporate a lower vertical power progression with an upper addition segment. This creates areas for near vision at the top and bottom of the lens.
An upper segment set to a fixed near or intermediate distance allows the wearer to focus on near objects while glancing at an upward angle. The 30 mm upper segment is centered 5 mm above the fitting cross. This allows for performance versatility regardless of the wearer’s position.
How the design is calculated
This innovative solution uses Raytrack 2 Technology which incorporates the intelligent use of the wearer’s accommodation into the traditional calculations for reducing oblique aberrations, resulting in a superior personalized lens. Oblique aberrations are minimized more effectively than ever before.

- Improved postural ergonomics avoiding unnecessary head movements.
- Excellent dynamic vision, easy transition between different viewing areas.
- Comfortable and precise focus at all working distances.
- Near elimination of peripheral blur.
- Upper segment adapted to the wearer’s visual needs.
Pilot Progressive Features
Personalization
The design is further enhanced, when desired, by a complete set of individualization parameters that take into consideration the unique attributes of the frame and the preferences of the wearer. If no parameters are provided, Raytrack will utilize default values.
Compensated power
Lens power differs from prescribed power. The design is calculated, point by point, to ensure wearers perceive the proper power when looking through their lenses at every distance and direction of gaze, including near distances for viewing electronic devices.
Optimized for accommodative object space
Raytrack 2 incorporates the intelligent use of the wearer’s accommodation into the traditional calculations for reducing oblique aberrations, resulting in a superior personalized lens. Oblique aberrations are minimized more effectively than ever before.
Consistency
The perceived power distribution remains stable, regardless of the prescription or base curve. This is especially beneficial for high prescriptions and large or wrapped frames.
