Shoppers can't see how a lens shade looks on their own eyes

The same lens looks different on dark brown eyes than on light blue ones. A studio swatch shows the lens by itself, so shoppers have to guess how it will look on them.

  • A lens swatch shows the lens by itself, without the shopper's eye color
  • Opaque lenses cover the natural eye color and enhancement lenses blend with it
  • Genlook shows the shade on the shopper's own eyes in seconds

How Genlook renders colored lenses on the eye

Lens color on the shopper's eyes

The lens color and pattern combine with the shopper's natural eye color, so opaque and enhancement lenses each look as expected.

Natural-looking eyes

The pupil and the natural highlights in the eye stay in place, so the result looks like a real eye.

Patterns and limbal rings

Gradients, textures and limbal rings carry over from the product photo.

No setup per product

Use your standard lens product photos. Genlook picks up the color and pattern from them.

Why a colored lens looks different on every shopper

The colored lens market is worth $5.1B and growing double digits, and shoppers choose lenses on how they look. An opaque lens covers the natural eye color, while a tint blends with it. The same product can look different on different eyes, and a studio swatch only shows one version.

A try-on on the shopper's own photo shows their version on the product page, with no app to download. It covers color, pattern and opacity only. Show prescription and diopter details separately, as usual. The guide to lens try-on covers the setup in detail, and the live demo shows example results.

Frequently asked questions

Do shoppers need to download an app to try lenses on?

No. Genlook runs on the product page in the browser, on phones and desktops. Shoppers upload a front-facing photo or take one with their camera.

How does the color look on different eye colors?

The try-on combines the lens color and opacity with the shopper's natural eye color. Opaque lenses cover the natural color, and tinted and enhancement lenses blend with it.

Does it work for prescription contacts?

Yes. The preview shows color, pattern and opacity. It says nothing about prescription or vision correction, so display your diopter details separately as usual.

What product photos work best?

A clear photo of the lens: a swatch on white, on a fingertip, or in its case. If you also have an on-eye photo, Genlook uses whichever image shows the color best.

Are shoppers' photos private?

Yes. Photos are encrypted in transit and at rest, never used to train AI models, and deleted after 7 days.

What does it cost?

The Free plan includes 10 try-ons a month, and no card is required. Paid plans include more try-ons each month.
