Why Most Progressives Disappoint

Almost every progressive lens sold in America is made using a simplified “standard/average” eye model. With that model, 98% of progressive lenses aren’t made for your eyes

Your eyes are as unique as fingerprints. Eye length, corneal shape, pupil size, and hundreds of other biometric factors vary widely from person to person. When a lens is calculated for an average eye instead of your eye, the result is:

This is why so many people try progressive lenses, struggle, and give up.

The Biometric Difference

The Rodenstock Difference: Biometric Intelligent Glasses

Rodenstock’s B.I.G. EXACT™ lenses start with a completely different approach.

Using the DNEye® Biometric Scanner, we capture more than 7,000 data points and 80+ biometric parameters of each of your eyes. These measurements create an exact digital model of your individual eyes. That model is then used to calculate and manufacture your lenses.

The result is up to 40% sharper vision at near and intermediate distances, an 8.5° wider field of sharp vision, and significantly better support for how your brain processes visual information.

Your eyes move up to 250,000 times per day. These lenses are designed to work with that constant movement instead of against it.

With over 500 patents and nearly 150 years of German engineering brilliance, every custom lens is a masterpiece of precision. The strict quality checks are considered beyond German engineering standards.

OUR PROCESS・ 4 Easy Steps

Clear Vision Made Simple in Southwest Florida

Biometric progressives can be tricky to get right. We've built a process that takes the frustration out of it, from first exam to first day wearing your new lenses.

Schedule an in-office consultation

AI-powered eye test, eyeglass prescription and biometric scan.Call, text, email or book online. We'll walk through your vision history, lifestyle, and any frustrations including reading, driving or computer work.

DNEye® Scan + AI-Powered Digital Eye Test

We begin with our DNEye® Scanner that maps the DNA of your eyes in detail and gives you two objective prescriptions (daytime and nighttime) that are far more precise than a subjective prescription alone. We combine that with our AI-powered digital eye test giving you your subjective eyeglass prescription if necessary.

Precision Manufacturing

Data is sent to Rodenstock in Germany where your exact biometric eye model is calculated. Lenses are precision-manufactured using your subjective and objective prescriptions along with the 7,000 measurements and 80+ biometric parameters of your eyes.

You Receive Glasses That Feel Natural From the First Moment

Most people adapt in minutes or hours — not weeks. No going home to get used to your glasses. You will see the difference the moment you put them on.

Have had Better Spectacles progressive lens for several years. Never been able to find sunglasses in a shade with which I could see well. I recently bought Better Spectacle sunglasses. Oh what a pleasure to wear. I can see perfectly! Colors are so natural, even inside. Thank you Andrew for choosing and making such perfect sunglasses for me! I love them!

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Eye Exams & Progressive Eyewear  in Southwest Florida

What makes biometric lenses different from regular progressive lenses?

Regular progressive lenses use a standardized eye model that fits only about 2% of people, made with the 4 measurements your doctor gives you with your eyeglass prescription. Biometric lenses are calculated from thousands of measurements of your actual eyes,  throughout the entire lens, not just at the center of your pupil area  so you can move just your eyes and not your entire head. Biometric lenses give you large peripheral vision, precise depth perception and the largest reading zone.

 

Most wearers adapt significantly faster,  many within the first day, if not the first few minutes. Survey data showed 87% experienced reduced adaptation time. No one has to go home and get used to their glasses.

Yes, we use state-of-the-art digital equipment to give you the most accurate eyeglass prescription possible, enhanced by combining it with biometric data from the DNEye® Biometric Scanner.
