At OPTA 2026, Rodenstock will present its award-winning biometric lenses B.I.G. EXACT® Sensitive, optimized according to individual eye biometrics and visual sensitivity, as well as the new generation of ColorMatic® X and Dark photochromic lenses featuring fast reaction times and enhanced visual protection.
The Rodenstock Group is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-quality biometric ophthalmic lenses. With its philosophy “B.I.G. VISION® FOR ALL,” the company introduces a new approach to fully individualized vision – from progressive solutions to the latest generation of B.I.G. EXACT® Sensitive lenses, optimized based on both eye biometrics and individual visual sensitivity. These innovations and further technological highlights will be showcased at OPTA 2026.
Rodenstock wins Silmo d’Or for B.I.G. EXACT® Sensitive
At SILMO 2025, Rodenstock received the prestigious Silmo d’Or award in the VISION category for its B.I.G. EXACT® Sensitive lenses. They are the first lenses in the world optimized not only according to individual eye biometrics, but also according to visual sensitivity – the way the eyes respond to disruptive influences in the field of vision.
Based on the B.I.G. VISION® concept and precise measurements using the DNEye® Scanner, the lenses provide smoother reading, a more natural flow of vision, and improved orientation. The award confirms Rodenstock’s innovative strength and leadership in lens development.
B.I.G. EXACT® Sensitive for Every Age and Lifestyle
Rodenstock has now expanded B.I.G. EXACT® Sensitive across its entire product portfolio – from single vision to progressive designs. Each lens is calculated using more than 7,000 biometric data points collected with DNEye® technology, enabling maximum individualization. The result is sharp, natural, and comfortable vision with fast adaptation, larger distortion-free areas, and smoother transitions between distances – setting a new standard in biometric vision for every stage of life.
A New Era of Photochromic Lenses with ColorMatic® X and Dark
Rodenstock also introduces the next generation of ColorMatic® photochromic lenses. ColorMatic® X offers the fastest fade-back performance in the brand’s portfolio, while ColorMatic® Dark provides the darkest tint, even at higher temperatures and behind a car windshield.
Developed in Germany with over 35 years of expertise and supported by numerous patents, ColorMatic® lenses ensure rapid light adaptation, exceptional indoor clarity, and reliable UV and glare protection outdoors. They bridge the gap between clear lenses and sunglasses, responding to the growing demand for effective light protection in everyday life.
(Note: ColorMatic® lenses are ideal for everyday use. For prolonged exposure to intense sunlight, Rodenstock continues to recommend sunglasses.)
