ZEISS DriveSafe lenses

Made for the road. Great for everything else.
  • A mature woman in a car, wearing glasses with ZEISS DriveSafe lenses.
  • 40+ and struggling to switch focus while driving?
  • Blinded by the glare of oncoming traffic?
  • Is driving at night or in bad weather a challenge for your eyes?
Your dream driving glasses have arrived. ZEISS DriveSafe progressive lenses are specially designed for people who spend a lot of time on the road and need near and far vision correction. Help your eyes switch focus with ease and deal with disturbing glare when driving at night. They’re great for life outside the car as well.

Road, mirrors, dashboard – all in clear focus.

Your eyes need to swiftly change focus between different distances to stay safe behind the wheel. We know that this can become a challenge with age. So we developed a special multifocal solution for drivers with presbyopia.
ZEISS DriveSafe progressives are designed to help you switch focus between the road, dashboard and mirrors more comfortably – so you can drive with confidence.   

Night glare, beware.

The glare from oncoming traffic and streetlights can make you feel insecure while driving. For improved vision at night, our special DuraVision® Plus DriveSafe lens coating reflects much of the wavelengths that really bother our eyes. It also makes your lenses more scratch resistant, durable and easy to clean.

Clear vision – come rain or shine.

From dusk till dawn, fog to rain and everything in between. ZEISS Luminance Design™ technology takes the size of your pupils in bright and low light conditions into account to ensure your DriveSafe glasses perform well – in all kinds of weather.

ZEISS DriveSafe progressive lenses in action

ZEISS DriveSafe progressives take into account how you look through your glasses and what you typically look at while you’re seated in your car. They feature optimized distance and intermediate viewing zones. Still, the near zone is sufficient to perform the close-up tasks that daily life demands. They’re the perfect driving glasses, but you can wear them all day.

Want to make them sunglasses?

Let’s recap.

Why stop now?

Let’s check if you’ve considered all the ingredients to make your ZEISS lenses unique.

With ZEISS DriveSafe progressives, your lens design is covered, but there might be a few more choices to make.   

Your eyes

ZEISS DriveSafe progressive lenses are great for older drivers who need help shifting focus between the road, dashboard and mirrors. DriveSafe is also available in a single vision design. Your eye doctor can help find the right focal type for you.   

Your lifestyle

ZEISS DriveSafe is a lifestyle lens – optimized for people who spend a lot of time on the road, but suitable for all-day wear. If you don’t drive that often, check out ZEISS ClearMind – designed for extremely clear vision all day long.

Your face & frame

With some additional measurements of your face and frame, we can customize the vision zones of your ZEISS DriveSafe progressive lenses – for even better vision behind the wheel. Ask your eye doctor about ZEISS DriveSafe Individual.

Eye protection

Even your clear DriveSafe lenses will come with full UV protection. Add an optional tint and polarization filter if you want high-performance sunglasses for driving and beyond.

Thickness & weight

ZEISS DriveSafe lenses are made for a comfortable ride. You can also get them in a material that‘ll make them thin and light. And don‘t worry – they‘re not yellow like some driving glasses on the market.

Durability & care

To reduce perceived glare when driving at night, each pair of clear DriveSafe lenses comes with a special anti-reflective lens coating. Like our other coatings, ZEISS DuraVision Plus DriveSafe also makes your glasses scratch-resistant and easy to clean.

Any questions?

  • Some driving glasses with yellow or different color lenses claim to enhance contrast and improve vision at night. But why switch to yellow glasses if you can have clear ZEISS glasses for driving and life outside the car – all in one?

    The optical design of ZEISS DriveSafe lenses is optimized for crisp vision while driving in any type of light while our DuraVision® Plus DriveSafe coating helps reduce glare at night. With just a slight blue-purple reflection, you’ll look good all day and feel more confident behind the wheel.

    ZEISS DriveSafe lenses are available in a variety of sunglass colors and mirrored polarization options as well.  

  • While you can try to avoid looking at oncoming headlights, adjust your mirrors and make sure your windshield is clean, an anti-reflective coating on the front and back of your glasses is a great way to help improve visibility at night.
    The special DuraVision® Plus coating on ZEISS DriveSafe lenses reduces perceived glare by up to 64%1 – so even driving in the dark can be a little more relaxed.

  • Want the best glasses for driving? We recommend ZEISS DriveSafe, of course. Here’s why:

    • ZEISS DriveSafe lens optics are specially optimized for good vision while driving, and they help your eyes dynamically shift focus while on the road. And you won’t have to switch glasses to have clear vision all day.
    • They have a special anti-reflective coating to reduce disturbing glare at night and accommodate the way your eyes react to different types of light.
    • ZEISS DriveSafe lenses are available as sunglasses, but even the clear version offers full UV protection.
