IOT started as a Joint-Venture between the Optics Department at the University Complutense of Madrid and the software company Indizen Technologies. With this combination of in-depth knowledge of ophthalmic optics and enterprise-level software development, we aimed at creating a leader company specialized in free-form lens design.

IOT viewed free-form technology as a key innovation that allowed independent labs to compete with the big multinationals of the sector. But, this technology required new skills and know-how that independent labs don’t usually have in-house. IOT would be offering them these key ingredients that they cannot get anywhere else: advanced know-how on free-form lenses, custom state-of-the-art lens designs and exclusive service. Working together with IOT, any independent lab could be as innovative and competitive as the big leaders of the industry.

With this idea in mind, and after two years of exhaustive R&D work, IOT launched the first version of IOT FUTURA, an innovative Lens Design Software (LDS). From that date on, this state-of-the-art technology has been constantly improving and expanding with the feedback from our customers: independent labs that want to stay ahead of their competitors.

Nowadays, IOT has attained a pre-eminent position as a provider of Free-form Lens Designs. With customers throughout the whole world, day after day we work to become a stronger partner for our customers.
