A top single-vision lens, as individual as its
wearer
For everyone who
wants to see more with their spectacles, Rodenstock has developed the first
truly individual single-vision lens on the market.
Impression Mono® does not only offer more from an aesthetic point of
view, but also provides optimum vision no matter what the prescription is. The
individual matching to your vision demands guarantees sharp vision up to the
edge of your spectacles. And the Impression Mono® lenses are
characterised by high durability despite the thin and light material - so that
rimless frames can be a reliable choice.
Sporty progressives with Impression
Just because you wear progressive lenses, it does not mean you have to do
without optimum vision during sports: The individual progressive lens Impression
Sport guarantees dynamic vision thanks to a very large, balanced distance
portion. The near zone has been specifically configured for sports - for example
to see the bicycle speedometer - to round off this vision comfort.
Contrast-enhancing SunContrast lenses also provide safety on difficult terrain
or under severe weather conditions!

I have a sight defect and would like to wear sports eyewear
during sports. Is there a suitable solution for this?
Rodenstock's ProAct sports eyewear (in the lightly arched frame version) allows
glazing in all prescriptions. The special Sport lens range from Rodenstock means
that even highly arched frames and clip-ins can now be ideally glazed with
single vision lenses or progressive lenses. The Sport lenses are made
individually for you and are available in a very great variety of colours.
Why do I need special sports lenses?
Sports eyewear has a frame geometry which makes very high demands on the lenses.
The great tilting of the sports lenses creates optical distortion which
restricts vision quality. To nevertheless provide unrestricted vision during
sports, we use Sport lenses in which the individual parameters of the wearer are
taken into account during manufacture - from the interpupillary distance to the
frame shape.
Can all sports eyewear be glazed?
Yes, in general. Your optician will be pleased to advise you to find the best
solution for you.
What Sport lenses are available in the Rodenstock range?
Rodenstock can offer single-vision lenses and - uniquely - individual
progressive lenses in its Sport lens range. All Sport lenses are available in
three versions:
Your optician can provide expert advice and information on all aspects of sports
and prescription eyewear.
Can I select any lens colour for my sports eyewear?
The Rodenstock Sport range includes an extensive range of colours you can choose
from. At no extra cost. . Your optician will help you select the right tint for
your sport.
Will I also be able to read with the Rodenstock progressive lens "Impression
Sport"?
Impression Sport lenses have been developed especially for sports activities.
This means that the near zone has been designed for a reading distance of around
60 cm, for example to read a pulse watch, a map or even a menu when hiking, or a
speedometer, etc.
For reading outside a sports context, we recommend Rodenstock Nexyma 40.
I have heard that it takes some time to get used to sports eyewear. What does
that actually mean?
It means that the eye needs time to adapt to the new situation when the new
eyewear is put on. This can result in different visual impressions for a brief
time. However, the eye is generally capable of adapting quickly to new demands.
What effect do the so-called "SunContrast" lenses have?
SunContrast Sport lenses clearly enhance the contrast between light and dark
areas. You can see colours and details very naturally and you can also recognise
bumps in the ground (e.g. when skiing) a lot more easily. The 100% UVA and UVB
protection gives you additional security.
