While wearable tech has been popular on the market over the last several years, the need to carry additional devices has been a barrier to consistent use. With VSP Global® Level™ smart glasses, all of that changes. These activity-tracking smart glasses help their owners to stay on top of their health using only their smartphones and glasses. Below, the optometrists from EyeOptics Optometry Center, in Elk Grove, CA, explain the Level smart glasses and their benefits.

Tracking Activity Simply

The technology neatly built into these stylish frames measures steps, distance traveled, calories burned, and minutes of activity. The technology works through a wireless connection to a smartphone app, which allows users to easily track their progress. The app is complete with a GPS “find my glasses” function in case you misplace your frames. One of the biggest draws of the Level smart glasses is that you don’t need any extra hardware; you only need your glasses and your phone.   

Motivating Socially 

Social engagement has been shown to be a strong motivator for individuals to stick to fitness goals over time. That’s why the Level smart glasses app has a built-in social platform that allows users to connect with one another, like, and comment on each other’s activity. Within the app, users can also set goals and receive reminders or prompts encouraging them to reach their activity objectives.   

Giving Back Through Charity

Part of the motivation structure of VSP’s Level smart glasses includes a charitable donation to those in need of eye care. When an individual reaches their daily step goal 50 times, Eyes of Hope® will donate a free eye exam and a new pair of glasses to an underprivileged demographic. Smart glasses owners can choose to donate to low-income children, the elderly, veterans, or people affected by homelessness.
