Your Eye Care Solution for Mobile Devices.

With ZEISS Digital Lenses, ZEISS is introducing a new first-pair lens product category. It is specifically designed to meet the vision needs of people in their 30s and 40s who are experiencing near vision discomfort for the first time. Regardless of whether they are single vision wearers or not yet spectacle wearers.

Design:

Mobile digital devices have conquered the world at an extremely fast pace and pose new challenges to the human eye.

The frequent use of digital mobile devices is challenging on the human eye. With the constantly growing use of digital screens, the number of daily cycles switching from far to near vision and back has increased considerably. This is very demanding on the ciliary muscle of the eye and – with diminishing accommodation capabilities – can lead to blurred vision, tired or dry eyes and neck strain.

ZEISS Digital Lenses make tired eyes and a stiff neck a thing of the past. They help users of digital devices to stay fresh, fit and focused vision all day long.

The effectiveness of ZEISS Digital Lenses has been proven in stress tests carried out with smartphone and tablet users. More than 90 % of all respondents were satisfied with the reduction in the symptoms of strained or tired eyes by a factor of 4.

The benefits for the wearer:

• Helps the eye to focus more easily.
• Stress and strain-free viewing throughout the day.
• Easy adaptation for unaccustomed eyes.
• For universal use – from morning until night.

Product features at a glance:

• Optimised lens design to support close-up vision for digital devices.
• Large distance zone to match visual behaviour of non-spectacle-wearers or single vision wearers.
• Flexible near power based on wearers requirements.
• Compressed corridor for rapid transition into the near power.

Many lens manufacturers offer scratch-resistant or anti-reflective coatings for their products. But ZEISS goes further with its leading-edge PureCoat® PLUS lens process. PureCoat® PLUS combines advanced anti-reflective and scratch-resistant technology with an innovative anti-static element that prevents dust and dirt from sticking to the lenses. The lens surface is then sealed with a super-slick top coating that reduces water, oil, and grease, making the lenses exceptionally easy to clean.

Anti-reflective Technology

Lenses without anti-reflective technology reflect a significant amount of light. Surface reflections from lenses can distract the wearer and even interfere with vision, particularly in low-light conditions like night driving or when performing intensive visual tasks like computer use. The anti-reflective technology within the ZEISS PureCoat® PLUS process helps reduce reflections to less than 1% of the incident light — compared with 7% to 13% for uncoated lenses.

Scratch-resistant Technology

Plastic lenses help make glasses lighter and more comfortable, but they’re much more prone to scratches than glass lenses. The high scratch-resistance technology of ZEISS PureCoat® PLUS helps keep lenses from developing scratches from cleaning and normal wear and tear.

Anti-static Technology

Dirt and dust can cling to traditional untreated lenses, reducing vision quality and leading to scratches when cleaning. The premium anti-static element in ZEISS PureCoat® PLUS helps repel contaminants like dust and debris.

Hydrophobic Technology

Grease, water, and oil will more readily slide off the surface of lenses treated with this super-slick coating, so the lenses are easier to clean and stay clean longer.
