We guarantee you a perfect view with our lenses.

Which lens is the right one for me? We have put together a small overview for you:

Wellness lenses - with distance correction and slight near vision support.

Don't worry, it doesn't require a spa. These are lenses with distance correction that have weak near vision support. In other words, lenses for the under 40s that make it easier to switch from distance to near and make the eyes less tired. Very comfortable and easy to adapt. If you need electronic devices such as a computer, tablet or mobile phone, you should not forget the blue light protection.

 

Progressive lenses - from over 45 years old, when the arms become too short or letters blur close up.

The only lens that provides distance and near clarity at the same time is a combined lens, a progressive lens. It's the all-rounder for the whole day, from driving to solving Sudoku. The near correction typically increases from over 45 to over 55 and remains constant later. Depending on the work and leisure situation, you may also need a pair of office lenses in addition to progressive lenses, see below.

Office lenses – It is worth investing in glasses for the close-up range from the age of 50 up. This will prevent you from visiting the physiotherapist because of neck and back pain.

Office lenses, computer glasses or also music glasses are additional glasses, usually in combination with progressive lenses, which are designed for a reading distance of >30 cm up to a maximum of 3 m. The office lens offers a wide field of view in the intermediate range of 60 cm to 1 m without lifting the head. In these visual situations, progressive lenses are not ideal.

Prescription sunglasses - Anyone who lives on the sunny side of life and doesn't poke around in the dark has at least one pair with them.

From single vision lenses to progressive lenses, all types of lenses with the full range of colours and strengths are available in prescription sunglasses. Did you know that there are also intelligent sunglass lenses? An intelligent lens is at least 50% dark, perfect in a car or indoors such as a shop, and darkens to the maximum outdoors in the sun. Available colours include brown, green, grey and blue.

Prescription sports sunglasses - They often make the difference between winning and losing. If you don't recognise the topography, the bump or the breaking wave in good time, you can get into trouble.

Sports sunglasses are a special version of prescription sunglasses. Ergonomics, i.e. the curvature of the lenses to protect against wind and the sun's rays from the side, are decisive here, as are the lens colours. Depending on the colour choice, the lenses provide support in sports and increase the contrasts. A biker does not need the same glasses as a cross-country skier. The maximum correction is heavily dependent on size and shape. Therefore many designs are possible.

Children's lenses – They warrant our utmost attention. If detected in time, certain visual defects in children can be corrected.

There is a wide range of children's lenses through to special lenses depending on the vision problem. But each version has one thing in common: the material. Children like to move around a lot, which is why children's glasses are only made of plastic - for the safety of your child.

Optik Gstaad trusts in Rodenstock lenses

By conviction, our lens supplier is Rodenstock. One of the main reasons is that Rodenstock has been able to produce biometrically personalised lenses for ten years now and is still the only lens manufacturer to do so. The correction is not calculated and ground according to a standard eye, but is calculated from the exact parameters measured by us with a special measuring device, the DNEye® scanner. Through this measurement data the lenses are corrected more precisely, are sharper, achieve better contrast and are thus more comfortable at all distances. This is the only way we can maximise your visual potential.

We have been working with the DNEye® PRO optimised lenses from Rodenstock since 2013 and have acquired expert knowledge during this time.

Rodenstock is a very reliable partner with a personal service team in Switzerland and offers us fast delivery times, which is crucial for us. They invest heavily in the research and development of new lenses and are still an independent, European company based in Munich, Germany.

Good to know

  • Even "white" plastic lenses provide full protection against harmful UV sunlight.
     
  • Blue light filters are available in different qualities. Some filter about 80% of the high-energy, short-wave blue light from monitors and mobile phones, others even block the blue light component up to a fixed wavelength.
     
  • Why are there big price differences for progressive lenses? Because the cheap versions have very narrow fields of vision and thus offer little comfort and quality. The high-quality lenses use new technologies and are more complex to calculate. The visual comfort in everyday life is accordingly much greater. We show you the differences, you decide with us.
