LensCrafters Creates Immersive Experience on Roblox to Drive Awareness on Proper Vision Health

Monday, November 6 2023 | 11 h 25 min | News, Press Release

LensCrafters launched its first virtual experience, LensCrafters Eye Odyssey on Roblox, a global immersive platform where millions of people connect and communicate daily. LensCrafters Eye Odyssey, one of the first online edutainment experiences with an optical retailer on Roblox, offers an engaging and educational way to promote healthy eye care habits, while providing an entertaining and immersive experience for young people.

LensCrafters Eye Odyssey aims to raise awareness around eye care while providing a fun, interactive immersive experience with LensCrafters’ Palo Alto flagship store serving as the experiential backdrop. 

“By engaging with the millions of people on Roblox, we have the capability to highlight our vision care efforts in a very creative way,” said Alfonso Cerullo, President & GM of LensCrafters, North America. “This is a unique moment for the brand to reach the younger generation and cultivate a new community through a cool interactive experience. The launch of LensCrafters Eye Odyssey gives the brand an opportunity to engage users around the importance of eye health and emphasize that vison health is critically important to everyday life and plays a vital role in a person’s overall wellbeing.”

The Eye Odyssey series will take visitors through two different seasons, embarking on a thrilling immersive journey. In season one, users help Blinky, a young, friendly eye-bulb character, overcome challenges caused by prolonged exposure to screens and learn how to maintain healthy vision by adopting appropriate eye care habits. UGC digital items can be earned engaging in the experience and redeemed at the conclusion of Season 1.

Based upon LensCrafters vision health guidance, people will be reminded during the experience through timed pop ups to utilize “the 20/20/20 rule” to prevent digital eye strain — every 20 minutes take 20 seconds and look 20 feet away (out the window, down the hall, or across the room).
