ZEISS ClearMind Progressive Lenses

Meet our most sophisticated lens to date: ZEISS ClearMind Progressive. Developed based on daily visual habits and a deep understanding of how people's vision and minds are connected, ZEISS ClearMind uses ZEISS NeurOptix technology to provide extremely clear vision in key areas while minimizing the impact of blur.1 This helps reduce perceived cognitive load, resulting in better focus and concentration.2 The optimized hybrid lens design delivers wide fields of clear vision, an extra large intermediate zone and smooth transitions into the optimized blur zones, allowing fast adaptation and extremely clear vision in all distances and directions.

ZEISS Progressive SmartLife Lenses

The ZEISS SmartLife portfolio is designed and manufactured to address the visual needs of your connected and on-the-move patients. Featuring ZEISS SmartView 2.0 technology, and based on applied research into today’s lifestyle, visual behavior and individual, age-related visual needs. ZEISS SmartLife Progressive Lenses have a hybrid design, this means the clear and blurry zones are balanced. As a result, there is a smooth transition into the blurry zones and wide fields of view at all distances and in all directions. This allows for fast adaptation and comfortable & clear vision at any distance and in all directions for the wearer.

ZEISS Progressive Light 2 lenses

ZEISS Progressive Light 2 lenses are designed to meet the vision needs of 45+ year old patients who are experiencing presbyopia either for the first-time or who are already mature eyeglass lens wearers of standard progressive lenses. ZEISS Progressive Light 2 lenses have a moderate-soft design, which means they have a medium field of clear view but show a soft increase of blur distributed across the peripheral areas. As a result, the transition between the blur zones is moderate soft. This allows for fast adaptation and clear vision at any distance for the wearer. Ideal for patients new to the progressive lens category.

ZEISS Progressive DriveSafe Lenses

Specifically designed to meet the visual needs of patients who want to feel safer and more comfortable when driving. These lenses provide fast refocusing between the road, dashboard and mirrors. Apart from driving, patients using DriveSafe lenses are also satisfied with their glasses in other everyday tasks.
