This advanced technology allows us to create precision-tailored lenses that deliver sharper, more accurate vision beyond a standard eye test.
Many people assume their glasses are performing as well as they possibly can. They've had an eye test, they have a prescription, and their vision seems acceptable. But acceptable and optimal are rarely the same thing.
At Richard Fantom Eyecare, we use the Rodenstock DNEye Scanner, one of the most sophisticated eye measurement technologies available in independent optometry today. Combined with our commitment to thorough, unhurried care, it allows us to deliver a level of precision and personalisation that a standard eye examination simply cannot match.
The Rodenstock DNEye Scanner represents a significant advancement in how we measure and understand the human eye. Rather than capturing a limited set of values to establish a basic prescription, it records over 7,000 individual data points, building a complete biometric model that is entirely unique to you.
This depth of measurement allows us to move beyond approximation. We gain a precise, detailed understanding of how your eyes function, their shape, their optical characteristics, and how they perform across different conditions. That understanding forms the foundation of everything we then recommend.
Every DNEye appointment begins with a full eye health assessment. We take the time to understand your visual history, your daily demands, and the specific situations in which your current eyewear may be falling short. This conversation is not a formality; it shapes the entire consultation that follows.
The scan itself is swift, entirely comfortable, and non-invasive. While you look into the scanner, it captures thousands of precise measurements, including:
This is where our approach sets us apart. Once the scan is complete, we take the time to walk you through your results in full, clearly, without clinical jargon, and with genuine attention to your individual circumstances.
You will receive a detailed personalised report outlining what we have found, what it means for your vision, and our tailored recommendations. We believe that informed patients make better decisions about their eye care, and we are committed to ensuring you leave with a thorough understanding of your own eyes.
Your scan data is transmitted directly to inform the design of your lenses. These are not off-the-shelf solutions adjusted to fit a prescription; they are biometric lenses engineered around your precise ocular profile. Your corneal geometry, pupil behaviour, and individual optical characteristics are all accounted for in the final design.
The difference in visual performance is, for most patients, immediately noticeable.
The DNEye Scan is appropriate for any patient seeking the highest standard of vision correction. It is particularly well-suited to those who:
If your current eyewear feels close to right but not quite there, the DNEye Scan will very often identify why and allow us to correct it.
At Richard Fantom Eyecare, personalised care is not a phrase we use lightly. No two pairs of eyes are alike, and in our view, no two patients should receive the same approach.
The DNEye Scanner enables us to:
This is eye care built around the individual, clinical rigour combined with the attentive, unhurried service that defines independent optometry at its best.
Lenses designed from biometric data consistently deliver greater clarity and contrast than those produced from standard measurements, particularly in complex or demanding visual environments.
Patients who struggle with halation around lights or discomfort when driving after dark typically find a meaningful improvement with DNEye lenses, as the design specifically accounts for how their pupils behave in low light.
Reduced peripheral distortion and a wider usable visual field, particularly relevant for varifocal and progressive lens wearers.
For those spending extended time on screens or performing detailed close work, lenses calibrated to your precise visual profile place considerably less demand on the eye muscles responsible for focus and adaptation.
With optical aberrations corrected at an individual level, many patients report noticeably richer, more accurate colour rendition.

Getting started is simple. Book an appointment with our opticians in Bidford-on-Avon for a full eye examination or any of our other eye care services, at a time that suits you.
Before you visit, you'll know exactly what to expect. We're always upfront about any costs involved before you book, so there are no surprises on the day.
Visit our practice in Warwickshire for a thorough, personalised eye examination. Every routine test includes advanced imaging such as OCT and Optomap scans, giving our opticians detailed insight into your eye health, not just a snapshot, so we can offer clear, confident advice tailored specifically to you.
Our opticians take the time to talk you through your results in plain terms, explaining what they mean for your vision and eye health. Whether that's a change to your prescription, guidance on managing a condition, or simple reassurance, the advice is built around you.
Once your glasses or contact lenses are ready, we'll get in touch to arrange a collection time that works for you. When you come in, our opticians will make sure everything fits comfortably and correctly, adjusting your frames on the spot if needed.
You may be eligible for an NHS contribution if you certain criteria apply to you. A full list can be found here.
The NHS sets minimum intervals between eye tests for those eligible, and intervals vary depending on which criteria apply to you.
If you qualify for NHS eye tests and eye care, book an appointment with Richard Fantom Eyecare. Don't qualify? Don't worry, we offer private eye tests too.
