4. Oktober 2004 PBO Seminar4 ILT Hyperop Advantages for opticiansAdvantages for end users Only Rodenstock offers progressive lenses in this high range of powers. Highest Index in this range of powers. Special surface design. Normal and short progression lengths. With MDM a maximum improvement of the optical parameters is achieved. MDM included Simple and transparent price structuring Highest visual comfort through special surface design and high index. Superior optical characteristics through the Individual Lens Technology Free choice of frames for normal and short progression, priority choice of smaller frames models in the corresponding ranges of power. In many cases, it is the customer‘s first possibility to choose progressive lenses (the competition does not offer such a wide range of powers).

5. Oktober 2004 PBO Seminar5 ILT Hyperop Communication Communication with the opticianCommunication with the end user Product brochure Own category on the price list. Communication is mainly worked out from Impression ILT No relevant communication. Main testimony: No other progressive lens on today‘s market offers such a wide spectrum of powers for (+) lenses.

9. Oktober 2004 PBO Seminar9 ILT Hyperop “Technical product information“ 1.Product details „…the design is particularly in tune with those who are very long sighted“ - from 8 D there is no „solution“ for a selective lens. - Very strong theoretic front surface - curvature in the plus field - modern lenses are a compromise between good optics and cosmetics

10. Oktober 2004 PBO Seminar10 ILT Hyperop “Technical product information“ 1.Product details The non “point by point” refraction causes very high imaging errors especially with high SV plus lenses: Perfalit 1.5 BK 12.72 sph +11D Astigmatism in position of wear

11. Oktober 2004 PBO Seminar11 ILT Hyperop “Technical product information“ - very small far field and basically no near field - astigmatic faults in the near >1.5 D 1.Product details Example of a virtual, surface optimised progressive lens sph +11.0 D add 2.0 D Astigmatism in position of wear

12. Oktober 2004 PBO Seminar12 ILT Hyperop “Technical product information“ 1.Product details What solution does exist? An aspheric lensE.g.: Cosmolit sph +11.0dpt Astigmatism in position of wear Refractive power - Correction of the high astigmatic powers - Power decreases towards the outside => negative refractive error in the periphery - cosmetically appearing products, reduction of the center height

13. Oktober 2004 PBO Seminar13 ILT Hyperop “Technical product information“ 1.Product details In order to reduce the aberrations in the periphery of progressive lenses, the focal power in the periphery of the distance must increase and the periphery of the near must decrease. Focal power Increase of the power in the distance Reduction of the power in the near

14. Oktober 2004 PBO Seminar14 ILT Hyperop “Technical product information“ 1.Product details Far The asperhic overlapping of the progressive surface has an increase in the focal power in the far as a result. The reduction of the power, which is caused by the oblique astigmatism, overlays the power increase that it results in a large distance field free of aberrations. Near In the near area the power decreases through aspheric overlaying and oblique astigmatism. This leads to a very small near field of vision. => In order to also offer strong hyperopic people a sufficiently big near field of vision, the Impression ILT Hyperop has been developed.

15. Oktober 2004 PBO Seminar15 „ Impression ILT “ sph +11.0 Add 2.50 Impression ILT Hyperop sph +11.0 Add 2.50 Comparison of the new Impression ILT Hyperop with the „normal“ Impression ILT with the power range simply widened from +8 to +11dpt.  clearly bigger field of vision  steep and high rise of the peripheral aberrations ILT Hyperop “Technical product information“ Maximum peripheral astigmatism = ca. 10% to 15% higher

16. Oktober 2004 PBO Seminar16 ILT Hyperop “Technical product information“ 1.Product details Product advantages: The product marks itself out with: –stabilising of the near field of vision –stronger emphasis on the fields of vision, as the vision fields for collecting plus lenses are additionally small. and against conventional progressive lenses through: –the individuality –and the non existing base curve effect

17. Oktober 2004 PBO Seminar17 ILT Hyperop “Technical product information“ 1.Product details In the „overlapping area +6 to +8dpt“, „normal“ Impression ILT and Impression ILT Hyperop are similar. The weighting of the larger field of vision increases with growing plus powers. Impression ILT sph +8.0 Add 2.0 Impression ILT Hyperop sph +8.0 Add 2.0

18. Oktober 2004 PBO Seminar18 ILT Hyperop “Technical product information“ 1.Product details Due to the strongly bent front surface and the high center thickness, for Impression ILT Hyperop in higher plus ranges the concave measuring value for the addition is higher than the ordered value. This ensures, however, that the addition in the position of wear shows the determined value during the refraction.

19. Oktober 2004 PBO Seminar19 ILT Hyperop “Technical product information“ 2.Product comparison –There is no competition in this high field of vision up to +13 D.

20. Oktober 2004 PBO Seminar20 ILT Hyperop “Technical product information“ 3.General hints for ordering –mixed order of both product types (Impression ILT and Impression ILT Hyperop) are possible, eg with high anisometropia, however we recommend the ordering of a matching pair. –MDM is included in the price of Impression ILT Hyperop and XS. The product can be pinned normally, MDM if desired has to be pinned separately. –It is generally advantageous to order the lens with all individual parameters along with the frame and centring data, so that the real tilting of the lens in front of the eye can be taken into account.

21. Oktober 2004 PBO Seminar21 ILT Hyperop “Technical product information“ 6.Complaints –Measuring of powers on the focimeter is not always possible due to the high prisms (up to 18cm/m) and the colour dispersion given in the near reference point. This is particularly the case with normal progression zone lengths and orders at the limits of the power range. In the case of complaints, please send the lenses to Mrs. Katrin Nicke in Munich, as there and in the production the especially equipped measuring instrument SPV1. –ILT Hyperop has very flat rear surfaces, in order to keep the height of the lens as low as possible. => possibility of disturbing back surface reflections.

22. Oktober 2004 PBO Seminar22 ILT Hyperop “Technical product information“ 7.„Expandable delivery“ –it is not possible to enlarge the range of power over +13.0dpt and under +6.0dpt. In contrast to other products, sph 0 cyl 6 is available (see diagram) –Cylinders over 6dpt are not possible +13.0 dpt SPH/CYL +6.0 dpt 0.0 dpt +6.0 dpt +0.0 dpt

23. Oktober 2004 PBO Seminar23 ILT Hyperop “Technical product information“ 8.Recommendation: In the overlapping area of „normal“ Impression ILT and Impression ILT Hyperop, we recommend the ILT Hyperop due to the strong emphasis on the field of vision.
