Say Hello to the DNEye scanner (and sharper vision)!

Dr. Carla Schneider • Oct 28, 2021

Your world is about to get a whole lot clearer.


“Wow” was all I could say when I put on my glasses equipped with the newest Rodenstock lenses. I couldn’t quite put my finger on what was different, but the world was crisper and clearer than I had ever seen it before, as if my vision was now high definition. I was sold.


Prior to this moment, I was already thoroughly impressed by the lenses that this German company was producing – after all, that’s one reason why we chose them to be our main supplier! However, these lenses were different: they were made based on my individual eye anatomy using information from the Rodenstock DNEye scanner.


I wouldn’t blame you if you had never heard of this machine before, but allow me to elaborate. The DNEye scanner is a machine that measures the anatomy of the eye and gathers data that has previously been unmeasurable. This data, collected from 7000 points across the eye, is then integrated into highly customizable, individual lenses for your glasses.


The ultimate goal of the DNEye is to minimize blur and distortions that are found in traditional lenses. While some people may become accustomed to these flaws, they can be common hurdles for those who wear glasses regularly. When corrected for, it reveals the sharpest contrast vision, the best night vision, the largest field of vision, and the most comfortable vision.


Sounds pretty fancy, and trust me, it is! Somehow, Rodenstock managed to put even more icing on the cake. This is really a pivotal moment in optics as this level of intricacy hasn’t existed in lenses, it really is tailor-made for your eyes.


It may seem like Rodenstock is promising a lot with this new device, and that’s why I had to try it for myself. Once I was impressed, we welcomed it with open arms into the practice and wanted our customers to experience that same revelation that I did.


Since having the DNEye in Monocle Optometry we’ve had nothing but very happy customers! We find that people are coming far and wide to try out these lenses that seem to promise the clearest vision possible. Some people are content with their vision in their current glasses while others still struggle to find clarity. However, the lenses made with the DNEye all yield the same outcome: the “wow” moment.


It’s easy to become complacent with certain things, and our vision is no exception. Quite often we don’t realize what we’re missing until we have something to compare to. Thankfully, that something is now the DNEye derived lenses. We now offer 


We don’t want people to just be content with their vision, we want them to be blown away by what they’ve been missing!

Goodbye 2020! Wow, year one done! It's been a heck of a ride, but truthfully, it actually came and went pretty quickly! Everything we had aspired to create finally came to fruition on February 29, 2020 when we first opened our door to the public. All of the planning, designing, researching and anticipation came to a hush as that door swung open to give Monocle its first breath of fresh air. We didn't know who was going to step foot in our practice, but that's half the fun! From that day, we saw new faces as well as familiar ones, and we are beyond thankful for everyone that has graced Monocle with their presence. However, one month later came Covid-19, and with heavy hearts we were forced to close that very same door which we had worked so hard to open.

Stigma? Stigmata? No no. Astigmatism . Everyone’s heard about astigmatism, but what actually is it? Well, once it's differentiated from its other misnomers, we can learn a bit about it! Astigmatism isn’t a scary disease, it's actually quite common! It refers to how light bends when it comes into the eye. Because the eye is generally a spherical shaped structure, if it’s not perfectly spherical, then light scatters when it comes into the eye. This leads to starburst effect on lights and shadowing of objects in our vision (sound familiar?). In a nutshell, this is astigmatism! Astigmatism comes from two structures in the eye: The cornea – the front surface of the eye. If this is a bit steeper along one meridian, then we’d call it corneal astigmatism . Some people have been told their eyes are shaped like a rugby ball rather than soccer ball, which is certainly one way to think about it! The lens – housed inside the eye is a lens that does a lot of our focussing. This too can have an unequal curvature to it which can scatter light. We call this lenticular astigmatism .
