ZEISS Scientific Papers

ZEISS SmartLife Young White Paper

ZEISS SmartLife Young Single Vision lenses are ideal for the changing needs of children as they grow from kids to teenagers. Kids and teenagers have very different vision needs compared to adults. They differ in age-specific facial anatomy and morphology resulting in changing parameters of wear to consider in the lens design.

ZEISS SmartLife Individual 3 White Paper

ZEISS SmartLife Individual 3 lenses are simply the best, top of the range ZEISS lenses. Available as single vision, digital and progressive lenses they are optimized for the wearer’s personal visual behavior and requirements. The design is based on age-related differences in dynamic and activity-driven visual behavior and considers the oculomotoric behavior together with the wearer’s individual parameters including anatomy, physiology as well as habituation, resulting in an ultra-refinedlens.

ZEISS SmartLife 2.0 ECP Overview Brochure

An in-depth understanding of visual behavior and visual habits based on the latest consumer insights and scientific research has been translated into our latest innovation in lens optimization. ZEISS SmartView 2.0 technology consist of three cornerstones, including age intelligence which features further optimization parameters with Luminance Design® 2.0 technology, Dynamic AgeFit® and Intelligence Augmented DesignTM technology.

ZEISS SmartLife 2.0 Progressive Fact Sheet

ZEISS SmartLife Progressive lenses are designed to meet the vision needs of people with presbyopia with a connected and on-the-move lifestyle. The optical performance in the lens periphery is designed for frequent changes of head and eye position driven by how people interact with their handheld devices. This design fingerprint provides a smoother transition into the lens periphery with less perceived blur to enable peripheral vision in natural dynamic interaction.

ZEISS SmartLife 2.0 Single Vision Fact Sheet

The next generation of ZEISS single vision lenses with improved optical performance. Standard single vision lenses are not optimized for near vision tasks. Now, with new design fingerprints and a state-of-the-art 3D object space model, the ZEISS SmartLife Single Vision lens design is calculated for sharp vision at all distances, especially when lowering the gaze while focusing on near objects.

ZEISS ClearView White Paper

The new standard in single vision at ZEISS. Thinner and flatter single vision lenses with the highest level of optics, available as finished single vision stock lenses or surfaced single vision lenses.

ZEISS PhotoFusion X White Paper

PhotoFusion® X is the latest generation of photochromic lenses from ZEISS. In addition to improved speed and darkness when compared to previous PhotoFusion photochromic lenses, these lenses are perfectly clear indoors and dark outdoors. Plus they provide sunglass-level UV protection and excellent blue light protection, making PhotoFusion X the best possible choice for photochromic eyewear.

ZEISS BlueGuard Lenses Whitepaper

ZEISS BlueGuard Lenses are the latest in blue light protection. Now that we’re spending more time in front of screens, increasing our blue light exposure, our eyes are facing new challenges. ZEISS BlueGuard Lenses are engineered to balance protection, clarity, and aesthetics to mitigate the potential challenges of digital light sources. Using the latest organic-chemical technology, ZEISS BlueGuard Lenses provides an “in-material” solution, blocking up to 40% of potentially harmful blue light and providing full UV protection up to 400 nm.

ZEISS DriveSafe White Paper

Safety and comfort for challenging driving conditions. Driving a car is a necessity for most spectacle wearers and many drivers are faced with discomfort and anxiety when driving in difficult lighting and conditions of poor visibility. Their fear is justified: statistics reveal a much higher risk of fatal accidents in those conditions. The causes are well understood and a spectacle lens for drivers should mitigate the risks of discomfort glare from automotive headlamps and the reduced spatial and temporal vision abilities that accompany mesopic vision. ZEISS DriveSafe lenses in both single-vision and progressive addition designs are well-suited for all day activities but perform especially well when driving at dusk or night.

ZEISS DuraVision Platinum White Paper

For the Hardest ZEISS AR-Coated Lenses Yet! The ZEISS brand has become synonymous with premium anti-reflective (AR) coatings. After inventing the first AR coating for optical lenses nearly 75 years ago, thin film scientists at Carl Zeiss Vision have continued pushing the performance envelope. Premium ZEISS AR coatings are more robust, dirt resistant, easy to clean and offer first-rate antireflective properties. Now, with the development of the new DuraVision Platinum. AR coating, scientists have responded to the demand of eyeglass wearers for lenses that are more robust, dirt-resistant and easy to clean.

ZEISS UVProtect White Paper (Long Form)

ZEISS UVProtect provides full protection from hazardous UVR in all popular lens materials. Some ophthalmic lens standards ignore the hazard of UVR wavelengths longer than 380 nm, creating a UVR protection gap. ZEISS scientists have found new ways to change its most popular lens materials to block harmful solar UVR up to 400 nm, with no visibly significant effect on light transmission. ZEISS UVProtect ensures that clear ZEISS plastic lens materials provide protection from hazardous UVR.
