Rodenstock has uncovered a groundbreaking insight: visual sensitivity is unique to each person and closely linked to the biometry of their eyes.
Through extensive research, Rodenstock has developed the Visual Sensitivity Index, revealing that:
- Individuals with low visual sensitivity perceive minimal or no difference in subtle changes in vision quality, and
- Those with high visual sensitivity can experience disturbances and a disrupted visual flow from even the slightest changes in vision quality.
How Visual Sensitivity Impacts Vision Flow
Human vision operates through two interconnected subsystems:
- Focus vision – responsible for detailed and precise sight, and
- Peripheral vision – essential for orientation and motion detection in the surrounding environment.
Our eyes move approximately 250,000 times a day, constantly shifting between these subsystems. Peripheral vision identifies points of interest, while focus vision hones in to provide detailed information. This dynamic interplay ensures seamless visual flow and helps our brain make decisions based on what we see.
To maintain this harmony, spectacle lenses must support both focus and peripheral vision, tailored to our unique visual sensitivity.
As the world’s first spectacle lens to be optimised for individual visual sensitivity and biometry, B.I.G. Exact Sensitive lenses provide optimised support for a more comfortable, uninterrupted visual experience.
