Orthoscopics
What is Orthoscopics? - It is the use of tinted lenses to help relieve the visual symptons caused by conditions such as Visual Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Autism to name but a few. Coloured lights are used to find the persons optimum colour response. This is then transformed into a tint, taking into account illumination. The resulting correct tint can then stablise a person's visual system and relieve the symptons of perceptual problems. Therefore Orthoscopics can help by finding the correct coloured lens to ease interface in a person's sensory perception, which can have a calming effect, as unwanted stimuli are filtered out. We do not diagnose different conditions but try and help with visual problems that may occur due to a condition.

Do you often feel tension at work? Headaches, neck tension, red or burning eyes - all typical complaints of people who spend long periods of times in front of a computer. Besides incorrect posture, incorrect lenses are often the cause of these types of problems.
At work you are constantly moving between monitor, desktop, and co-workers. With the wrong lenses, this can be tiring as you unconsciously assume an unnatural position to keep everything focused. The solution is Ergo near vision lenses.
Colormatic Lenses - Self Tinting
Our eyes work hard - day in, day out. These lenses adapt continuously to changing light conditions such as twilight, shadows, dazzling artificial light or sunshine - all without us even noticing. The benefits are that they tint and lighten in record time, outdoors - the lenses are as dark as sunglasses, perfect UV protection up to 400 nm.
Tints, Filters & Coatings
Tinted lenses perform a number of jobs: light tints provide a more comfort for vision under normal light conditions; sunlenses enhance the contrast and provide protection above all against irritating glare and dangerous UV radiation. Filter tints are lens colours which have a light tint of only 10 to 20 per cent. They are suitable for everyday wear, but also offer a number of benefits which make vision more comfortable: they reduce harsh light and increase the contrast effect.
The new Solitaire Protect Plus coating is extremely durable and long lasting. It maintains the high clarity of your Rodenstock lenses even after over 4000 cleanings. the unusually smooth surface keeps the lenses cleaner longer, and when they do get dirty, the new OneWipe effect makes them amazingly easy to clean. By minimizing reflections, Solitaire Protect Plus makes your lenses extremely clear - both looking through and looking at them. Also by eliminate reflections it helps you to see better, especially when driving at night.
