The standard
Default values fit only 2% of eyes
Today, most lenses are manufactured using a standard vision test with just four standard prescription values as input for the lens calculation process. In this case standard values taken from the reduced eye model are used for the biometrics of the individual eye.
These standard values suit only 2% of eyes. This has consequences for how precisely the lens can be tailored to the needs of the user’s eyes.
The solution from Rodenstock
Biometrically exact lenses
At Rodenstock, we recognize that each eye has a different shape and size.
Based on an eye measurement with our DNEye® Scanner, the biometry of the entire eye is determined for the calculation of the lens (several thousand data points and a multitude of parameters of each eye). This biometric data is incorporated directly into the lens production process, which is unique in the industry. The result: the most precise lenses in the world, with the sharpest vision for every angle and every gaze.
We call these lenses B.I.G. EXACT™.
B.I.G. stands for Biometric Intelligent Glasses: these lenses marked the beginning of the biometric era at Rodenstock and B.I.G. VISION™ FOR ALL has become our philosophy.
Why Biometric Intelligent Glasses?
The key to understanding the breakthrough technology behind Biometric Intelligent Glasses starts with recognising that you don’t actually see with your eyes – you see with your brain.
Our vision consists of focus and peripheral vision
Our vision relies on two subsystems—focus vision and peripheral vision—which work together with the brain. Peripheral vision helps us navigate our surroundings and detect motion. When the brain picks up on a point of interest, our focus vision moves there to give the brain more detailed visual information, which then determines the next action.
Our eyes move up to 250,000 times a day
The continuous movement of the eyes requires that the lenses provide the right support to the wearer to have a harmonious interplay of focus and peripheral vision. This constant dynamic state of our vision underscores the importance of choosing lenses that address visual sensitivity and provide the right support for your brain.
What wearers of biometrically exact lenses say
A survey of 283 customers, 90% of whom already wore glasses, shows the enormous success of B.I.G. EXACT™. It demonstrates that the use of an accurate biometric eye model to produce individual glasses significantly improved their visual experience.
-
92 percent experienced sharper vision than before.*
-
88 percent noticed greater visual comfort compared to their old glasses.*
-
84 percent experienced better contrast vision.*
-
80 percent experienced improved vision at dusk.*
-
87 percent experienced reduced adaption time.**
