Lens Options
You and your optician have been busy. You found the perfect frame, determined the best lens style for your lifestyle and daily routine and chose the best material for your prescription, your frame and your lens style. Now lets look at your additional Lens Options. Each of these offer unique benefits that can improve not just your vision but your overall well-being.
Photochromic Lenses
Fast self-tinting lenses.
Eyeglasses that adjust to any light condition – full sunlight, indoor lighting and everything in between. PhotoFusion® by ZEISS lenses do it all – and do it fast.
Fast darkening.
Fast fade back.
PhotoFusion polycarbonate and high-index lenses darken up to 20% faster and fade back up to two times as fast* as previous photochromic lenses offered by ZEISS.
Very clear indoors.
Very dark in sunlight.
PhotoFusion by ZEISS lenses offer excellent vision under all lighting conditions.
- Indoors, and outdoors at night, they remain clear.
- Outdoors on cloudy days, they respond to reduced solar UV rays and turn semi-dark.
- In full sunshine the lenses are hit with the full intensity of the sun’s rays, and they darken to a true sunglass tint.
100% solar UV protection for your eyes.
No matter how dark or clear they are, PhotoFusion by ZEISS lenses always block 100% of harmful solar UV rays. Your eyes will not only be comfortable in all lighting conditions, they’ll be fully protected.
PhotoFusion by ZEISS is available in gray and brown tints.
*Average performance. Performance will vary by material, temperature and light conditions.
Anti-Reflective Coating
What does superior clarity mean in an eyeglass lens? How about the near elimination of distracting glare as well as scratches and smudges that interfere with your vision? Lenses that are easy to keep clear and clean, and are tough enough to last as long as your prescription?
Introducing ZEISS DuraVision Platinum, the anti-reflective lenses setting a new standard for clarity, cleanability and toughness. Made by the company that invented anti-reflective lenses.
Clarity in an anti-reflective (AR) lens is measured by the amount of light reflected from the lens surface. The fewer the reflections, the greater the clarity. This means your vision is sharper in high-glare conditions such as driving at night or working on your computer, and others can see your eyes more clearly.
ZEISS DuraVision Platinum reduces light reflections by over 20% compared to other anti-reflective lenses¹, giving you maximum clarity, day and night.
For a lens to be clear, it needs to be free of scratches. ZEISS DuraVision Platinum is three times tougher on scratches compared to conventional AR lenses, thanks to an integrated system of densely-packed coating layers on the lens surface. In laboratory testing with a dry cloth, DuraVision Platinum still looked new after 600 wipes while previous generations of AR showed significant scratching.
No matter how careful you are, your lenses will inevitably be exposed to dirt and smudges. That’s why ZEISS incorporates advanced technology to keep your lenses cleaner, longer.
The only thing clearer is no lens at all.

Blue-violet light:
A health threat hiding in plain sight.

And the threat is increasing as we are exposed to increasing levels of blue-violet light.

Viewing digital devices at night can also disrupt the brain’s production of melatonin, causing sleep disturbances.
Shielding your eyes from
damaging rays.
