Concept of the Lumina –
shifting optics
![Lens_principle_03](https://www.akkolens.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Lens_principle_03.png)
Unique approach to achieving high accommodative power – based on laterally shifting optics – driven by the ciliary muscle.
The variable lens can provide the eye with continuous sharp vision from 25-40cm, normal reading distance, to far.
The Lumina lens has two integrated, connected, optical elements to adjust the sharpness of your vision.
One element has a lens to provide sharp vision at far and both elements have precisely designed surfaces to provide a variable lens for intermediate and near vision.
As the muscle in the eye contracts and relaxes during the normal accommodating process, the elements shift to focus at your desired distance.
