Lens Guide - Turners Opticians

At Turners Concept Eye Clinic, our independence means we can offer the best lenses tailored to your vision. Rodenstock’s advanced DNEye® scanning technology goes beyond standard prescriptions, mapping natural eye distortions (aberrations) for ultra-precise, high-definition lenses. Experience sharper vision from every angle with cutting-edge optical innovation.

BIOMETRIC LENSES

Rodenstock’s biometric lenses use state-of-the-art technology to deliver precision vision correction, customised to your unique eye profile. Designed for optimal visual acuity, they provide exceptional clarity, sharp focus, and all-day comfort.

Vision Support

Your vision relies on two key subsystems—focus vision and peripheral vision—working together with the brain. Peripheral vision helps with orientation and motion detection, while focus vision locks onto points of interest near or far. Rodenstock’s biometric lenses use precise eye data to support both, ensuring seamless transitions for sharper, more natural sight.

Progressive Lens Support

Your eyes are constantly in motion—up to 250,000 times a day—shifting focus between near, mid, and far distances while using peripheral vision for orientation. That’s why progressive lenses must provide sharp vision at every angle, not just one focal point. With precise biometric data from DNEye® technology, Rodenstock lenses deliver seamless, natural vision that works in perfect harmony with your brain.

Biometrically Exact Lenses

We understand that every eye is unique. Using our DNEye® Scanner, we gather detailed measurements of the eye's biometry—capturing thousands of data points and parameters. This precise data is directly integrated into the lens-making process, a first in the industry. The result? The most accurate lenses in the world, offering crystal-clear vision at every angle. We call these lenses B.I.G. EXACT™—Biometric Intelligent Glasses. B.I.G. VISION™ FOR ALL is our philosophy, ushering in a new era of personalised vision care.

PROGRESSIVE LENSES

Progressive multifocal biometric lenses are designed to meet the diverse vision needs of individuals, offering a smooth transition between near, intermediate, and distance vision. These advanced lenses combine multiple prescriptions into one, providing clear, uninterrupted vision at all distances—no need for multiple pairs of glasses.

Bespoke Lens Design

Whether you’re active outdoors or often working on a laptop and reading, your Rodenstock progressive lenses are tailored to your unique lifestyle and vision needs. The peripheral zones of your lenses are customised for optimal vision. Higher-quality lenses feature smaller peripheral zones, ensuring clearer, more focused vision throughout.

Continuous Sharp Vision

Progressive lenses offer smooth, progressive power, providing clear, sharp vision at all distances. They correct both near and far vision simultaneously, with no visible edges or noticeable power changes. This seamless design not only improves vision but also offers aesthetic benefits, making them a discreet and stylish choice.

Progressive For Who?

As we age, the lens in our eyes becomes less elastic, making it harder to switch between near and distance vision. Progressive lenses are the perfect solution, providing a seamless transition without the hassle of changing glasses. They offer clear vision at all distances, making life simpler and more convenient.

OFFICE ‘ERGO’ LENSES

If you spend long hours on a computer and struggle with screen readability, or experience headaches or neck pain in the evening, a good pair of computer glasses can make a world of difference. Our Office ‘Ergo’ lenses provide sharp vision at typical work distances, easing eye strain and promoting natural eye movement. This reduces tension and discomfort, allowing you to work more comfortably.

DISTANCE LENSES

Distance lenses, also known as single vision lenses, are designed to correct your vision for clear, sharp sight at a distance. These lenses enhance your overall view, improve quality of life, and increase safety—especially when driving or navigating busy environments.

Do you need to wear glasses?

Do you often squint to see clearly in the distance? Or experience headaches after reading or using the computer for extended periods? These could be signs of impaired vision. It might be time to consider glasses for clearer, more comfortable sight.

Night driving

Good visibility is crucial when driving in low light, rain, or against bright headlights. Even minor vision issues can cause discomfort, distractions, and, most importantly, increase the risk of accidents. Clear vision is essential for safer night driving.

Poor Vision at Twilight and in the Dark

Many people believe they are night-blind, but often, the difference in vision between day and night creates this impression. The DNEye® Scanner accurately measures your prescription for both day and night, correcting any visual discrepancies for clearer, more consistent vision.

READING LENSES

Reading is a daily activity, but it can become frustrating when text appears blurred at close range. For those who want to enjoy reading novels, newspapers, menus, or fine print with ease, a high-quality pair of reading glasses is the perfect solution. These lenses are specifically designed to restore sharp vision for close-up tasks, and the more precisely they are tailored to your eyes, the better the result.

Why We Need Reading Lenses

Do you often find yourself holding a book further away to focus on the text? This is a common sign of presbyopia, a natural part of aging. As we get older, our eyes struggle to switch between near and distance vision, making it harder to focus on things up close. The optimal reading distance increases, often leading to eye strain or headaches. But it doesn’t have to be this way— with the right pair of reading glasses, enjoying a book can feel completely natural again.

Optical Comfort And Appearance

Aspheric prescription lenses feature a flatter, less curved design, making them slimmer and more comfortable to wear—especially for those with plus prescriptions. Benefits:

45% lighter than mineral glass
20% thinner than traditional plastic lenses
30% reduction in self-magnification around the eyes

The Danger of Ready-to-Wear Readers

There are cheap reading spectacles in many supermarkets. But the "good offer" has a catch: off-the-peg solutions are of course not suitable for your eyes. The prescription of both lenses are identical, although most people have different prescriptions for the left and right eye. Individual circumstances, such as a corneal curvature or the interpupillary distance, are not taken into consideration. Buyers also often choose lenses with too strong a prescription without a test and advice. The result: inappropriate ready-to-wear reading spectacles can lead to complaints such as headaches and tired eyes if used permanently – exactly the opposite to what they should do.

LENS FEATURES

Coatings are essential for extending the life of your glasses. These invisible protective layers enhance the durability, scratch resistance, and anti-reflective properties of your lenses. Whether it’s protection from dirt and dust, advanced UV shielding, or reducing the impact of artificial light from screens, ask your optician about the Solitaire® enhancements from Rodenstock. The high-tech Solitaire® LayR finish adds multifunctional benefits, incorporating innovative LayR Technology for significantly clearer vision—layer by layer.

COLOURMATIC LENSES

Rodenstock’s self-tinting ColorMatic® 3 Sun lenses quickly adjust to changing light conditions. In bright sunlight, they darken to protect your eyes, while in the shade, they automatically lighten by up to 55%. This ensures clear, high-contrast vision throughout the day, even in fluctuating lighting environments.
