Rodenstock

Our mission: to provide people all over the world with biometric lenses.

We are the vision experts

The Rodenstock Group is a global innovation leader in the field of eye health and a major manufacturer of spectacle lenses.

Rodenstock's success story is characterised by groundbreaking developments and market-leading lens technologies. The focus of our activities is on innovations that enable the sharpest vision for every angle and every gaze. In order to achieve this, Rodenstock determines the biometrics of the whole eye for the calculation of the lens. All relevant biometric data flows directly into the lens production process - this is unique in the industry.

  • Mission

    We provide people with superior visual precision.

  • Vision

    We strive every day to provide an unparalleled experience of biometrically enhanced vision to everyone across the world.

  • Philosophy

    B.I.G. VISION® FOR ALL is our unique philosophy: We recognize that every person and every eye are unique and different.
    That’s why we were the first to measure the individual eye and use thousands of data points to produce individual spectacle lenses. This made us what we are today. We are the vision experts. It’s what motivates us to provide people all around the globe with the best progressive lenses.
    We don’t settle for standard – we always go one step further.
