Perfect Corp. Launches GenAI-Powered Glasses Removal, Letting Glasses Wearers Try On New Frames Without Taking Theirs Off
The new generative AI model replaces the legacy frame-masking method, rebuilding the face behind a shopper’s own glasses for a cleaner, more accurate try-on in real time.
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Perfect Corp. (NYSE: PERF), the leading AI and AR beauty and fashion tech provider, today announced a generative AI upgrade to its AI Glasses Virtual Try-On solution, led by the new Glasses Removal feature. Built on generative AI instead of the legacy frame-masking method used by earlier glasses removal tools, Glasses Removal rebuilds the face behind a shopper’s own glasses in real time, so people who need glasses to see can keep them on and still get a clean, accurate try-on of every new frame. Glasses Removal is available now on e-commerce websites, mobile apps, and in-store kiosks through a single integration.

Perfect Corp. Launches GenAI-Powered Glasses Removal, Letting Glasses Wearers Try On New Frames Without Taking Theirs Off
Solving a Common Problem for Glasses Wearers
About half of the world’s population, close to 5 billion people, is expected to be nearsighted by 2050, according to a study published in the journal Ophthalmology. For these shoppers, trying on glasses online has a basic problem. If they keep their glasses on, the virtual frame appears on top of the pair they are already wearing. If they take their glasses off, the screen turns blurry, and many end up asking a friend to take a photo, then putting their glasses back on to check the result.
Glasses Removal fixes this in one step. Generative AI detects the shopper’s glasses, removes them from the camera view, and rebuilds the face behind them before placing the new frame. Shoppers keep their own glasses on, see the screen clearly, and compare frames on their own, in real time. The feature also works with uploaded photos.
Generative AI Replaces Legacy Frame Masking
Earlier glasses removal tools rely on a legacy method: they draw a mask over the frame area, then blur or patch the pixels inside it. This often leaves a faint outline of the old frame, smudged skin, or a distorted eye area, and it struggles with thick frames, tinted lenses, and lens glare. When a new frame is placed on top, these leftover marks can still show through clear lenses.
Perfect Corp.’s Glasses Removal does not use a frame mask. Its generative AI model rebuilds what is behind the glasses, including the eyes, brows, skin texture, and lighting, so the face looks as it would without glasses. Compared with the legacy masking method, the new approach delivers:
- Higher Accuracy: The eyes and brows are restored in their true position and shape, so new frames sit correctly on the face and PD-based frame sizing stays precise.
- Clearer Lenses: With no traces of the old frame left behind, the shopper’s eyes show through the new frame’s clear or tinted lenses as they would in real life.
- Better Overall Image Quality: Skin texture, shadows, and lighting are rebuilt to match the rest of the face, with no blurred patches or visible edges.
- More Frame Types Supported: Works with thick, thin, rimless, metal, and tinted frames, as well as lenses with strong reflections.
- Faster Performance: The new model processes each camera frame faster than the previous version, keeping the live try-on smooth on both mobile and desktop browsers.
“Most people shopping for glasses are already wearing a pair, and they need it to see. Older removal methods simply covered the old frame, which often left marks and blurry areas. With generative AI, Glasses Removal rebuilds the face behind the glasses, so shoppers can keep them on and see every new frame clearly and accurately,” said Alice Chang, Founder & CEO of Perfect Corp.
Why It Matters for Eyewear Brands
People who already wear prescription glasses are the core customers of most eyewear brands, and they are also the group that finds standard virtual try-on hardest to use. Glasses Removal lets them shop the same way they would in a store: glasses on, seeing clearly, trying as many frames as they like. For brands, this means more complete try-on sessions and more confident purchase decisions, both online and in-store.
Part of a Complete AI Glasses Virtual Try-On Solution
Glasses Removal works together with the existing features of Perfect Corp.’s AI Glasses Virtual Try-On, which supports glasses, sunglasses, and goggles:
- AI Pupillary Distance (PD) Detection: The AI measures the distance between the shopper’s pupils in about 2 seconds after the camera turns on and suggests the right frame size, with no ruler needed.
- Fast Virtual Product Creation: Brands need only 3 product photos (front, left temple, and right temple) to create a virtual try-on product, with no 3D modeling or scanning.
- Realistic, Adjustable Frames: Brands can adjust frame color, size, and reflection, as well as lens tint, density, and reflection. Shoppers can turn their heads up to 60 degrees side to side and 45 degrees up and down to check every angle.
- One Integration, Every Channel: The same solution runs on mobile and desktop browsers, e-commerce websites, mobile apps, in-store kiosks, and WeChat Mini Programs, and is also available through the YouCam SDK for mobile.
