Introducing NEW Lens Technology with the DNEye Scanner
B.I.G Vision (Biometric Intelligent Glasses) – Only available through Rodenstock’s patented lens technology and requiring input obtained by the DNEye scanner. This really is the next level in lens technology and probably the biggest leap in lens design we have seen in a very long time.
Experience the revolutionary eyesight test with the Rodenstock DNEye Scanner. This piece of equipment is unique in the world with more than 7,000 high-precision measurement points transferred into your individual lenses. The only way to experience perfect vision. These measured biometric values are used and integrated in the mathematical design, and then precision manufacturing of your lenses making the most individual lenses currently available in the world. What is the point to all this? Simple, the sharpest vision you are able to get out of prescription spectacle lenses. A recently expanded lens portfolio means this technology is now available in a wider range of both single vision lenses and progressive lens options.
Since 1900, a general model of the human eye has been used for the measurement of the eye and the calculation of lenses. Over time, technology and lenses have continuously improved. But the so-called “Gullstrand Eye” as the standard calculation basis remained the same. Now, Rodenstock has broken new ground to replace the standard eye model. With the DNEye® PRO technology, the individual anatomy of the eye is measured. As one of the world’s leading manufacturers, Rodenstock is also able to transmit the measured values to the lens.
Rodenstock History
Founded in Würzburg, Germany in 1877 – the beginning of a success story began. Rodenstock has been an innovation leader in the area of ophthalmic optics for more than 140 years, and are the oldest optical company who manufacture both lenses and frames. Many years of research knowledge, superb craftsmanship, precise cutting and intelligent technology go into their products. With many optic firsts coming out of their labs including tinted lenses with prescription and UV protection (1899), the first transition lenses in Europe (1968) and plastic lenses (1974)! You can expect nothing less than a true masterpiece of precision – in terms of material, function and design from Rodenstock.
Progressive Lens Technology
As the name suggests, a progressive lens provides progressive power, and infinitely variable sharp vision at all distances. Because progressive lenses are able to correct defective vision for far and near at the same time. As there is no visible edge in the lens and the power changes are not recognisable from the outside, as such, progressive lenses also have aesthetic benefits.
Why do I need progressives? Our eyes change as we get older. When we become middle-aged the eye’s natural lens is no longer quite as elastic. It becomes increasingly difficult for the eyes to switch between near and distance vision – the eyes need some assistance. Progressive lenses are the ideal first-line solution here. With progressive lenses you don’t have the annoying and inconvenient task of changing spectacles all the time.
Rodenstock progressive lenses are always individually tailored to your eyes. In addition, they should also match the individual viewing habits of your life. Depending on whether you spend a lot of time sitting at the desk or are frequently outdoors, the fields of vision for near and distance, as well as in the intermediate range, should be different.
What’s the down side? Due to the progressive prescription change throughout the lens, some peripheral distortions are induced on the edges of the lenses. Sure, this may take some getting used to initially but the vast majority of the population adapt very easily and then reap the benefits. This is why the quality of the lens is so important, the better the quality, the fewer distortions.
Bear in mind every eye is as unique as you are. It is crucial to get everything correct: a good quality lens, a good quality prescription and then also get it setup correctly in your frame and even how that frame then sits on your face.
