Are Biometric Lenses Right for You?

Our Biometric Eye Examination has the Potential to Give You the Best Possible Vision Clarity

At Dolphins Optometrists, we want to give you the sharpest, most comfortable vision possible by using the latest diagnostic technology. Our comprehensive eye examinations incorporate the Rodenstock DNEye® Scanner allowing for a better, more accurate result, but is it for you?

In this article, we explore who would most benefit from this very personalised eye examination, and what is involved in prescribing biometric lenses.

Who Are Biometric Lenses For?

Biometric lenses are potentially for anyone who values the clarity and precision of their vision. Here’s how they can benefit different lifestyles:

  • People with Astigmatism, Presbyopia, Hypermetropia or Myopia: Biometric lenses offer superior correction for these vision conditions, giving you sharper, more accurate vision than traditional lenses.
  • Night Drivers: Enhanced clarity in low-light settings and reduced glare make night time driving easier, ensuring your vision is safe and clear when you need it most.
  • Active Individuals and Sports Enthusiasts: If you’re someone who plays sports or lives an active lifestyle, biometric lenses are a game changer. Whether you’re on the field, court, or out for a run, precision lenses provide:
    • Improved Contrast: Whether you’re tracking a fast-moving ball or judging the distance of an opponent, these lenses offer superior contrast to enhance visibility and focus.
    • Enhanced Depth Perception: Crucial for activities like tennis, golf, or cycling, depth perception helps you judge distances and positions with greater accuracy, giving you a competitive edge.
    • Sharper Vision: In high-intensity sports, the ability to see clearly in fast-paced environments is essential. Biometric lenses help reduce visual distractions, giving you a sharper, more responsive field of view.
    • Increased Safety: Sports often require quick reactions to movement. With biometric lenses, you can react faster and with more confidence, reducing the risk of accidents or injuries.
  • Anyone Seeking Ultimate Comfort and Clarity: Struggling with eye strain, headaches, or blurry vision? Biometric lenses offer a level of clarity that traditional lenses can’t match, ensuring comfort for all-day wear. You’ll notice less eye fatigue, fewer headaches, and clearer, sharper vision in every aspect of your life.

What Do Biometric Eye Exams Add to a Normal Eye Examination?

Maybe you’ve had a traditional eye test before; a few charts, some lights, the classic “better one or two?” routine. But biometric eye exams are a different ballgame. Unlike the standard tests that rely on generic measurements, this advanced eye examination goes further.

Using cutting-edge eye test technology, we measure over 7,000 data points & more than 80 parameters from your eyes. Yes, you read that right. It’s all thanks to the Rodenstock DNEye® Scanner – a highly advanced device that captures each unique detail of your eye’s anatomy, enabling us to create lenses specifically tailored to you. Here’s some of what it measures:

  • Axial Length: Measures the overall length of the eye and thereby determines the position for the centre of rotation.
  • Corneal Curvature & thickness: Maps the shape and effective power of your cornea to determine how light enters your eyes.
  • Pupil Size and Dynamics: Tracks how your pupils respond to light and checks for prescription variations in differing light conditions. This helps to deliver crystal-clear vision in every environment.

Biometric Lenses

Following the eye examination, we can use the prescription results along with individualised spectacle measurements and the DNEye data to order Biometric lenses, which produce the highest level of performance over the widest field of view.
