Okay, everybody, I'm in Jalbo's RX Lab with Christophe, who's the product manager for Prescription Jalbo
0:08
As some of you may know, I put sunglasses over my prescription glasses
0:15
And Jalbo is going to make me an in-lens prescription in a couple days here in the Jura
0:22
And I'm very excited. It's my first prescription, true prescription glasses in many, many, many years
0:29
And I love Jalbo Reactive. So, Christophe, explain. Yes, we got in the Jura a lab to produce the lenses
0:44
The lenses are exactly the same as the Plano range. So you get exactly the same colors, the same reactivity as the photopermic lenses
0:57
It's inside the blank. So we produce... So my lens is going to start as that blank. Exactly
1:07
And it's going to be machined to my prescription? Exactly. With the machine, we attach the blank. Yeah
1:17
We put the power in the backside of the lens. Ah. So at the end, we will have a blank that you get your prescription. Okay
1:31
And after that, we will cut the lens to put inside the monolens
1:40
Ah. Show that again. Yeah. So that's inside, but it's the same photochromic as the rest of the... like that. Ah
1:52
So it'll end up like yours. Yeah, exactly the same. Like this, right? And I'm getting... describe the reactive lens that I'm getting because I'm a big fan, but maybe you describe..
2:06
The reactive is the lens which is photochromic. Yeah. So when there is no sun, when it's raining, when you are practice sports during the night or early in the morning. Right
2:20
The lens is totally clear. Yeah. Or there is a little color as this one. This is a high contrast lens
2:29
So what's the light transmission, maximum light transmission? The max for this one is 80%
2:40
80% and then the minimum is... 10%. So I get a range from 80 to 10%. That's kind of good. Very good. Okay
2:50
And so the process, you do this in the Jura and tell us for people who are outside of France, say in the U.S., how does it work these days
3:02
You have to order to go to the Jumbo website to choose a frame
3:09
Two days after you get the frame at home, you test the frame, you choose the frame and you can go to the optometrist to check the fitting height, to check the PPI distance
3:25
And after that, they order directly from Jumbo, they order the frame, the lenses. Yeah
3:34
And two weeks after you got the frame, the lenses. And they'll be carved the same way. Okay. Very interesting. I'm thrilled to finally have real sunglasses
3:47
Although this has always worked very well for me, but it's a bit much
3:53
And after that, I went so many times to sports, sunglasses. Yeah
4:02
So it's quite different. It's not easy because my prescription is quite strong
4:08
It's very high, so it's not a normal prescription. Yeah. High Euclidia. Yeah
4:15
But it's outside our rare, right... Right. Tolerance. Tolerance. Yeah. But sometimes, as we are a small company, as we wear lenses, eyewear and we have some protection
4:37
Okay. It will be... It's doable. Yeah. It's not to be as very beautiful, but you can wear some glasses
4:52
Okay. And that is big for me. Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to it
