Aside from frames and lenses, another facet of luxury eyewear is eye health. The AirDoc offered in Vision Express helps people assess their health through artificial intelligence. Moreover, the machine scans the customer’s eyes and in less than 10 minutes it will provide an in-depth assessment of health risks and conditions.
