Rodenstock Announces New Lens Partnership for Canada

German lens supplier Rodenstock has reorganized their business in Canada as of January 1, 2015. Rodenstock’ s ophthalmic lenses will now be exclusively represented in Canada by Toronto-based independent optical lab, Plastic Plus.

Plastic Plus, the largest remaining independent optical lab in the country, will begin local production of Rodenstock lens designs at the Toronto lab in quarter 2, 2015. “We signed an agreement with Rodenstock Germany, making us the exclusive Canadian distributor of Rodenstock lenses, and from the second quarter of 2015, we also become the exclusive manufacturer of these lenses in the country,” Paul Faibish, President of Plastic Plus confirmed by email.

Plastic Plus is also currently the exclusive distributor of SEIKO free-form lenses and anti-reflection coatings. Owner Paul Faibish indicated that the SEIKO and Rodenstock lens brands will continue to be marketed under the Plastic Plus umbrella.

An infographic explaining how myopia control spectacle lens designs work for treating childhood myopia. On the left, under "Single vision correction," it states that peripheral light rays focus behind the retina, encouraging eye growth and increased myopia progression. The diagram shows peripheral light rays focusing behind the retina, leading to the eye growing longer and becoming more myopic. On the right, under "Myopia control design," it explains that lenslets focus light in front of the retina, slowing the progression of myopia. The diagram includes illustrations of the Essilor Stellest and Hoya MIYOSMART lenses, showing light rays focused by individual lenslets and reduced myopia progression. All of the text also appears in French.
