What is EyeLT^® from Rodenstock?

It is short for Eye Lens Technology: EyeLT^® is a new technology in Rodenstock's lens manufacturing that has been registered for a patent. Something that was considered to be undoable has been possible since 2011 thanks to EyeLT^®: up to 40% better near vision for people who wear progressive glasses – a milestone in the history of progressive lens technology.

The optician carries out a special near vision test with the customer for this. The eye is measured completely automatically and with high precision with the DNEye^® Scanner, a new and innovative measuring device. Together with the results of the regular eye measurement, all this additional information is sent with the order to Rodenstock and we make the best possible lens from it. In short, the glasses wearer can exploit his individual vision potential by 100%.

Rodenstock glasses have an "R" on the right lens?

The trademark "R" on lenses from Rodenstock indicates to you that you have an original product from Rodenstock, which complies with the highest technical and functional requirements.

Besides the brand engraving, the lenses also have a so-called function engraving. The optician needs this for optimum alignment of the lens in front of the eye, and for clear correlation of the lenses. However, the engraving cannot be seen under normal light conditions.

How should I store my glasses?

As soon as you are no longer wearing your glasses, the best thing is to put them in a hard shell case. If you don't have a case, then always keep them in a safe location with the lens side up.

What is ColorMaticIQ^®?

ColorMaticIQ^® are self-tinting lenses from Rodenstock. They adjust by themselves to any light situation in record time. Whether in sunshine, glaring artificial light, shade or at dusk, the ColorMaticQ^® lenses darken or lighten depending on the surroundings. To you, this means relaxed and reliable vision in any light with just one pair of glasses.

Can scratches be removed from a lens?

Unfortunately not. Lenses are not just one pane of glass or plastic, rather a complex system of layers for antireflection, tinting and other additional functions. Therefore "polishing out" scratches doesn't work. Scratched glasses should be replaced soon. The micro-fine scratches cause light to scatter. The eye has to correct constantly which leads to fatigue. Headaches may be the consequence.
