About Adlens^®

Founded in 2005 in Oxford, UK, by Hong Kong businessman and philanthropist James Chen, Adlens^® is the global leader in variable focus eyewear. Its highly skilled team of engineers, optometrists and design professionals has developed a completely new category of vision correction through three variable focus products: Emergensee™, Hemisphere^® and The John Lennon™ Collection.

Based on the Alvarez lens technology, Emergensee™ is a brand of variable focus glasses designed for use as a temporary spare pair, instantly customisable for whoever is in need. They are an ideal solution for managing fluctuating vision after eye surgery as each lens can be adjusted to suit the patient’s needs.

Available in both optical and sunglasses, Hemisphere^® is the world’s first complete range of variable focus prescription eyewear. Its Fluid-Injection lens technology provides instant vision correction and immediate dispensing. 

Also based on Fluid-Injection technology is The John Lennon™ Collection. Inspired by John Lennon’s™ work, life and style, this collection features the distinctive round shaped glasses he is famous for.

Adlens^® is a commercial business with a social soul: through its Buy One Give One programme, for every pair of Fluid-Injection glasses purchased the company donates a pair to someone in the developing world. Distribution of the glasses is administered by Vision for a Nation^®, a charitable foundation running an innovative program to provide universal access to eyeglasses, one nation at a time, starting in Rwanda.
