A shared passion for eyewear solutions.
København Optik is more than just an eyewear boutique. It's a story of passion, precision, and innovation brought to life by two seasoned optometrists, Chris Birger Jensen and Henrik Bense-Petersen. Their combined expertise and vision have created a space where individuality and exceptional eye care come together. Chris worked at the renowned LINDBERG as both an optometrist and agent, bringing a designer's eye and a behavioural optometrist’s precision. Henrik is a pioneer in developing advanced contact lens technologies, due in part to his experience as a director at Essilor in the Nordics.
Together, Chris and Henrik have built København Optik into a beacon of personalized eyewear solutions, with locations in central Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, and Østerbro. Their shared passion for design trends, cutting-edge technology, and genuine care for their clients is evident in all aspects of their stores. Chris and Henrik bring a personal touch to their professional expertise, making København Optik not just a collection of stores, but a meaningful experience crafted by two visionaries who truly see eye to eye.
Collectively, we at Even Realities share the same vision for the same passions. So, it should come as no surprise that we jumped at the opportunity to partner with Chris and Henrik at København Optik in Denmark.
Your store has a long history of embracing eyewear solutions. What drew you to Even Realities?
At København Optik, we pride ourselves on staying ahead of the curve in eyewear innovation, blending function with style. What immediately captivated us about the Even G1 was the combination of its revolutionary approach to vision correction and its seamless integration of cutting-edge technology with everyday practicality. Its precision in adapting to individual visual needs, combined with its lightweight and sleek design, perfectly aligns with our mission to provide eyewear that's as forward-thinking as it is comfortable. For us, Even G1 isn't just a product, it's a statement of what the future of eyewear can be.
First impressions matter. How was your Even G1 experience?
The moment we got our hands on Even G1, we were clearly experiencing something unique. Fitting it was a joy as the design feels almost custom-made for each wearer - adapting effortlessly to their lifestyle and visual demands. Plus, the aesthetic is modern, minimalistic, and undeniably stylish, making it a perfect match for our clientele. It’s a game-changer in how we think about enhanced vision; blending AI-powered technology with visual cues displayed directly on the lens to elevate the way we see and interact with the world.
How have your customers reacted to Even G1? Can you share any feedback about their try-on experience?
The reaction has been incredible! At first glance, most customers don’t know what to expect because Even G1 looks just like a regular pair of stylish glasses. But the moment they start interacting with the features, you can see the “wow” moment in their eyes. The fact that these glasses blend seamlessly with the ones they’re already used to wearing makes the advanced features feel like an unexpected bonus. Translate is usually a big hit - being able to effortlessly understand and communicate in multiple languages leaves a lasting impression. Features like Dashboard, Navigate, and QuickNote integrated with their phone apps also resonate deeply because they’re so practical for everyday life.
And then there is the clip-on sunglasses. Customers love the sleek and visually attractive design, which adds another layer of functionality without compromising the style. Even G1 manages to surprise and delight at every turn, making it a truly unique experience.
Have you had any particularly memorable interactions with customers regarding their experiences with Even G1?
One of the most memorable moments came from a customer who shared their excitement about how Even G1 has completely redefined what glasses can do. They highlighted features like AI-driven interactions, live navigation, and real-time translations; calling it a game-changer for everyday life.
What stood out was that people with perfect vision are buying these glasses, not for correction, but for the incredible smart features. They even shared plans to use the glasses to help a family member with hearing difficulties by showing live-translated subtitles during conversations.
Hearing stories like this shows how Even G1 isn't just eyewear - it's an empowering tool that's changing lives and sparking excitement about the future of vision.
What features would you like to see in future updates?
As optometrists who love keeping up with the latest trends, we love to see Even G1 continue pushing boundaries. One exciting possibility could be enhanced customization options, like more frame styles or colour choices to suit a wider range of tastes. On the tech side, integrating adaptive light-sensitive lenses or further refining battery life would elevate the G1 even more. And since smart technology is becoming a staple, adding features like health tracking (via connection with your smartphone) could make it an even more indispensable tool for daily life. It's already a fantastic product, but there's always room to innovate further!
What advice would you give to someone considering trying Even G1?
Go for it! Even G1 is an incredible leap forward in eyewear technology, and it's designed to enhance your vision in ways traditional glasses simply can't. My advice? Trust the process - it's not just about trying on a new pair of glasses; it’s about stepping into the future of personalized vision care. Make sure to work closely with your optometrist to ensure the best fit and functionality. And don't be afraid to ask questions - the more you understand how it adapts to your needs, the more you’ll appreciate the magic behind it. It's a bold choice, but one that's worth it!
