Why lens customisation matters

Most glasses are still made using a standard prescription and generic assumptions about the eye. But every eye is different. That means a lens designed from averages may not be the best match for how you actually see.

At Darwin Eyecare, we take a more personalised approach. With DNEye testing, we capture detailed biometric information about your eyes to support a more customised lens design.

Most lenses are calculated from four standard prescription values and standard assumptions based on a reduced eye model, and that these standard values suit only 2% of eyes.

The Rodenstock DNEye® scanner measures over 7,000 data points across the eye. This high-precision scanner collects, in addition to standard prescription values, more than 80 key biometric parameters—including corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, and pupil size—to create a 3D model of each eye

Precision lenses start with better measurements

At Darwin Eyecare, we use the Rodenstock ImpressionIST system to take precise fitting measurements for your chosen frame and lenses. How your glasses sit on your face matters: the position of the frame, the distance from your eyes, the tilt of the lenses and the way you naturally wear your glasses can all affect how clearly and comfortably you see.

The ImpressionIST uses 3D video centration technology to capture key measurements, helping us personalise your lenses to your eyes, your frame and the way you wear your glasses. Rodenstock describes ImpressionIST as a 3D video system for measuring optical data, supporting frame and lens advice for a more precisely matched pair of spectacles.

Rodenstock B.I.G. lenses: biometric intelligent glasses

Rodenstock B.I.G. lenses are designed to go beyond a standard prescription. Instead of relying only on traditional lens values and average eye models, B.I.G. lens technology uses biometric information to create lenses that are more closely matched to the individual eye.

For patients who want a more personalised lens experience, this can support clearer, more natural and more comfortable vision, particularly in progressive, multifocal and higher-performance lens designs.

Rodenstock describes B.I.G. Vision as Biometric Intelligent Glasses, with some lens designs using precise biometric data captured through DNEye technology.

The benefits of custom DNEye lenses

Using Rodenstock Impressionist to measure glasses

Designed around your eyes, not average eyes

B.I.G. lenses use detailed biometric measurements to create a lens design that is more personalised than a standard prescription alone.

More precise vision correction

DNEye technology captures additional information about how your eyes focus and perform, helping refine the lens design for clearer vision.

Personalised to the way you actually wear your glasses

The final lens design considers your selected frame and natural wearing position, rather than relying only on standard measurements.

Made and fit here in Darwin

Unlike many practices that need to send frames away for lens fitting, Darwin Eyecare has invested in our own in-house lens fitting lab. With our frame tracer and lens edger, we can trace, edge and fit many lenses on-site.

For eligible lens and frame combinations, this means your glasses may be ready within 24 hours, without needing to wait several days for them to be sent away.

  • 24-hour turnaround depends on lens type, prescription, frame choice and lens availability. We’ll let you know the expected timeframe when you order.

Invest in your eyes, you use them everyday

Personalised lenses, designed for the way you see.

For many standard lens orders, we can fit lenses into your chosen frame right here in our Darwin lab. That means less waiting, no interstate delays, and more control over the final fit.

FAQs

Many standard lens and frame combinations can be fitted within 24 hours. This depends on your prescription, lens type, frame choice and whether the lenses are available. We’ll confirm the expected timeframe when you order.

Not all lenses are made on-site. Some specialised, customised or complex lenses may still need to be ordered through Rodenstock. However, our in-house lab allows us to trace, edge and fit many lenses locally.

B.I.G. stands for Biometric Intelligent Glasses. These lenses are designed using biometric information or advanced eye models, helping create a more personalised lens design than standard prescription values alone.

It measures how your selected frame sits on your face, including important fitting details that help customise the lenses to your eyes and wearing position.

For many patients, especially those choosing progressive lenses, higher prescriptions or premium eyewear, personalised lenses can improve comfort, clarity and ease of adaptation.
