DuraCore AI receives prescription, frame and raw-blank data to optimise surface geometry, focusing on peripheral aberrations and the usable clear area of the viewing corridor.
AI engine for optimising surface geometry
The engine's role in lens design
Durabon's guide introduces DuraCore AI as an AI design engine. It processes inputs and optimises surface geometry, then passes its output into the lens-design calculation chain.
Specified inputs
- Prescription: defines the wearer's optical requirements.
- Frame specifications: provide the geometry of the selected frame for the design.
- Blank data: information about the raw lens used as the basis for manufacture.
Surface-optimisation objective
The guide describes optimising surface geometry to minimise peripheral aberrations and provide a minimum usable clear corridor area. This is a design objective; no independent area size or aberration-reduction value is supplied.
Read the engine's performance within the final design and product specifications. An AI name alone does not determine field size or identical visual outcomes for all wearers.
Transferring the output to the final design
The engine's output enters the CREA FF LDS calculation chain and then the final lens design. The guide names this process without publishing algorithm details, software architecture or numerical evaluation criteria.
When reviewing a product
Check the individual model for DuraCore AI availability. Its inputs and computational role are distinct from lens material, refractive index and protective coatings, which are specified separately.
