Steiner-Vision: German optics tradition redefined - NOW available near you!
Since its founding in Bayreuth in 1947, the Steiner brand has stood for uncompromising precision. What began as Karl Steiner's vision has evolved into a world-leading expert in binoculars and optical devices that withstand even the most extreme conditions in hunting, marine, and military applications. For over a decade, STEINER-Vision has been transferring this expertise in German engineering to the field of ophthalmic optics. The goal: to create lenses that offer the same brilliance and robustness as the legendary Steiner binoculars.
At the heart of the portfolio are the DSI+ varifocal lenses. An innovative, bilateral calculation method optimizes vision zones and minimizes distortion at the edges. This guarantees an extremely short adaptation period and a natural visual experience. The technology is complemented by the DuraMaxx eXtreme coating – a finish derived from research into high-performance optics that makes lenses up to six times more resistant than standard materials.
What makes Steiner-Vision special is its hybrid concept: it combines the digital efficiency of a modern manufacturer with the expertise of local opticians. This way, customers receive premium quality "Made in Europe" with the assurance of personal service – a perfect blend of tradition, innovation, and maximum visual comfort.
