– A true success story continues. Rodenstock, the
Munich spectacles manufacturer, has produced ColorMatic® lenses
for more than a quarter century. At this year's opti,
Rodenstock is presenting the new intelligent ColorMatic IQ®
lenses with an index of 1.54 thereby completing the range of
photochromic lenses. Still today, Rodenstock is the undisputed
pioneer in the field of photochromism and can look back at
decades of in-house
development.
New in 2012:
ColorMatic IQ® 1.54 Rodenstock has been at
work constantly for more than 25 years on the further
development of photochromic plastic lenses and has continuously
improved materials, production and methods. Last year,
Rodenstock introduced ColorMatic IQ® with an index of 1.6 and
1.67. They are self-tinting lenses that adjust very quickly to
the ambient light conditions. In January 2012, Rodenstock is
presenting another attractive addition to the ColorMatic
portfolio: ColorMatic IQ® 1.54 lenses with 5% less basic
absorption and which are crystal clear indoors. Hence, these
self-tinting lenses are almost as light as a regular lens. The
practical functionality is almost indiscernible with the naked
eye. The lenses provide maximum reliability in every light
change for active and comfort-orientated end customers.
Another quality feature of ColorMatic IQ® 1.54 is
their durability. They still have powerful photochromic
properties even after being used for a long time. In addition,
ColorMatic IQ® protects the eyes reliably against harmful UVA
and UVB radiation. Hence, the lenses have an anti-ageing effect
on the side. Due to the 100% UV-400 protection, the lenses
protect the sensitive skin around the eyes, and the wearer
simply looks
fresher.
Natural Colour
Reproduction Rodenstock has developed new
colours using modern dyes and that way created the most
attractive photochromic lenses in the market. Due to uniform
filtering of the entire light spectrum, they guarantee neutral
colour reproduction in all colour variations. Brown ColorMatic
IQ® lenses increase the contrast in a darkened state, and grey
lenses have a natural and balancing effect. ColorMatic IQ® in
green is a unique feature, since it is a colour that is
exclusively available in photochromic lenses with an index of
1.67 from Rodenstock. ColorMatic® Contrast comes in the colours
orange and green.
ColorMatic IQ® 1.54 will
be available in Germany as of April 2012, and as of February
2012 internationally.
ColorMatic IQ® is a
brand product from Rodenstock and therefore stands for the
highest quality, the best materials, and innovation that is
“engineered in Germany". The advantages that can be
experienced with this high-tech brand product clearly set
ColorMatic IQ® apart from all other photochromic lenses.
