Frequently asked questions about the Impression® product family

How are Impression® ophthalmic lenses different from other ophthalmic lenses?
In contrast to conventional ophthalmic lenses, Impression® ophthalmic lenses from Rodenstock also take into consideration individual data such as the shape of your face, the distance between your eyes, as well as the fit and shape of your frames. Rodenstock includes these personal "parameters" in the calculation and production of Impression® ophthalmic lenses. As a result, you receive custom made ophthalmic lenses with optimum visual properties.

What models of these ophthalmic lenses can be obtained?
The Impression® product family from Rodenstock offers a choice of individual single vision, progressive, and close-up lenses (optimised for different reading distances) which are unique in the market as well as special lenses for sports.
Each Impression® ophthalmic lens from Rodenstock is matched to you and your individual needs.

Can I get Impression® ophthalmic lenses from any optician?
Basically, you can get Impression® ophthalmic lenses from Rodenstock in any optician's shop.
You can use our optician search to find opticians who have been specifically certified by Rodenstock and who can guarantee particularly high consulting certainty.
What is the ImpressionCard and when do I get this card?
When buying our custom made Impression® ophthalmic lens, you will receive the ImpressionCard from your optician automatically and free of charge. On one hand, the ImpressionCard is the official brand certificate of the Impression® product family and hence your confirmation that you have bought an original Rodenstock Impression® ophthalmic lens. Furthermore, the ImpressionCard is a spectacles passport that contains all the necessary information about your lenses and it is a certificate of entitlement for free services that can be used as needed.
The services are comprised of the ophthalmic lens insurance, compatibility guarantee, quality guarantee and a Traveller Service.

What does the compatibility guarantee mean?
There are sometimes incompatibilities with progressive lenses. Impression® progressive lenses are characterised by a considerably reduced rocking effects and a wide visual zone for close up. Among other things, this provides additional security when climbing stairs and leads to increased spontaneous compatibility. Therefore, even spectacles wearers who have had difficulties with conventional progressive lenses have very good chances of getting on well with Impression® ophthalmic lenses. However, if in spite of everything this isn't the case, then the guarantee card provides a replacement free of charge.

Does the Rodenstock guarantee also apply to scratched and broken ophthalmic lenses?
Basically, the Rodenstock guarantee always applies in the event of proper use. One exception is broken lenses, because in such a case it can't be assumed that they were being used properly.

What is so special about Impression® Mono compared to conventional single-vision lenses?
The benefits of Impression® Mono are that they give you the best vision through lenses that are individually produced and optimised for every visual requirement. They facilitate sharp vision right up to the edge of the lens, because these lenses use the entire surface area, which means they are optimised over the entire lens. Spectacles wearers who have somewhat higher values in particular will benefit from them. Besides the optical advantages, Impression® Mono captivates due to the extraordinary wearing comfort, because the lenses are very light. In addition, they guarantee the spectacles wearer the best possible aesthetics.
I have problems when working up close (e.g. working on the computer). Is there a suitable lens for this in the Impression® product family?
Conventional reading glasses are often inadequate at the workplace, because they only provide the necessary sharpness in a small radius. You can achieve the greatest visual comfort for all up close activities with the individual close-up lenses Impression® 40 and Impression® 80.
Impression® 80 is recommended for computer work or for do-it-yourself work, and Impression® 40 is better suited for working at even shorter distances (e.g. handicrafts) and for reading.
Both lenses provide an extra-wide visual zone for close-up in contrast to conventional close-up lenses.

What benefits do I have from the extra-wide close-up zone?
A wide close-up zone means that with these lenses it is possible to have sharp vision right to the edge even for working close-up. As a result, blurry vision at the edge of the lens no longer has to be compensated for by head movements.

Can Rodenstock Impression® ophthalmic lenses also be used in sport spectacles?
Rodenstock specially developed the progressive lenses ”Impression® Sport” and the single-vision lenses ”Impression® Mono Sport” for glazing sport spectacles. Like all Impression® ophthalmic lenses, they are produced on the basis of your individual parameters.
Since not all sport spectacles that are available on the market are suitable for glazing with progressive lenses, you should definitely consult your optician before making a purchase.
