In recent years, there have been major developments in spectacle lens technology, all designed to improve your vision and to make your spectacles more comfortable to wear and to look more attractive.
We are happy to discuss and advise the most suitable lens required for your lifestyle and individual visual requirements. With there being so many lens combinations now available, we feel that our expert advice can help you make the correct choice for your needs within your budget.
Our wide selection of personalised lens designs enables us to produce a pair of progressive glasses optimised and tailored for your particular vision needs and featuring unprecedented quality.
Cutting-edge computer technology assists in measuring visual performance and fitting the lenses to your frames. The near, intermediate and distance zones are all incorporated into one lens with smooth transitions. These lenses are tailor-made for your facial shape, your lifestyle, your career and your visual habits. Individual and one-of-a-kind – just like you.
PhotoFusion Lenses – They are fast acting variable tinted lenses which darken in sunlight. Indoors they are clear, but outside they rapidly darken effectively changing them into conventional sunglasses.
Light adaptive lenses are now available in a large range of colours including brown, grey, green,sapphire, emerald and amethyst. Light adaptive lenses offer 100% protection against damaging UV light and the lenses work behind the car windscreen. All of our lenses come with a 30 day love them or return them guarantee.
Lens Coatings – These are advised to reduce annoying reflections, improve the appearance of your spectacles and most importantly to enhance your vision.
More recent advances in technology now mean you can get the added benefit of them being anti-scratch, anti-dust, repellent to water, grease and dirt making them more durable and a lot easier to clean.
Varifocal Lenses – (the modern alternative to bifocal lenses without the line). They are normally advised for people over the age of 40, normally when separate distance and near prescriptions are required, giving you clear vision at all distances.
Personalised and Bespoke Varifocal Lenses
Smartlife Individual Varifocal lenses from Carl Zeiss are fully bespoke to you and take into account how your frame fits, your dominant eye which helps with reaction time, and how your eyes move across the lenses to make it as clear and sharp as possible in all directions of gaze. We ensure all of your facial and frame measurements are recorded on our smart Ipad measuring system. This allows the lens to be custom designed and made specifically for how you move your head and eyes whilst reading.
On average, we look at our smartphones, tablets or TV screens for almost five hours every day. And we glance at our mobile phones as many as 80 times a day! And these figures are set to rise in the future.
Small font sizes and the constant switching of our viewing focus from near to far objects demands the utmost from our eyes. From the age of 30 onwards, this can lead to digital eyestrain or, as the experts put it, the Computer Vision Syndrome.
The use of digital technology demands the utmost from our eyes. In just a fraction of a second they have to move between far and near: from viewing something in the distance to small displays, tiny fonts and tightly packed information –and then back again. This places extreme strain on the ciliary muscle and the lens of the eye which have to constantly re-adapt to ensure that what we see is clearly focused. Headache and neck strain, burning or tired eyes may be the result, particularly as we get older. In Germany, for example, 50 percent of the population suffer from one or more of these symptoms, i.e. from visual stress.
ZEISS Digital Lenses offer the perfect remedy by enabling fast, comfortable focusing thanks a specially optimised near zone – no matter where we look. These lenses are ideal not only for digital devices, but also for reading books and magazines.
Our pupil size changes over the course of the day: the more surrounding light there is, the smaller the pupil – and vice-versa. Traditional spectacle lenses don’t accommodate this change within their designs.
DriveSafe Lenses from ZEISS stand out from the crowd because their optimised lens design accommodates the wearer’s enlarged pupil diameter when driving in poor light. This lens design also increases contrast, improves vision in inclement weather and reduces possible distortions within the lens periphery – particularly with progressive lenses.
The end result: you have better vision and can more precisely judge viewing distances in stressful driving situations e.g. at night or in rain, fog or snow.
Being able to see well is a prerequisite for safe driving because on the road our eyes are working overtime: constantly shifting focus between the street, the GPS and the rearview and wing mirrors. Inclement weather or adverse light conditions often make it difficult to see. ZEISS DriveSafe Lenses – available as single-vision and progressive lenses – minimise this visual stress when driving and make it easier for drivers to see, enabling you to arrive at your destination safely and stress-free.
Unfavourable weather, poor light conditions, irritating glare (e.g. from the headlights of oncoming cars, street lamps or reflections off the wet street) and shifting your viewing focus quickly and often are potential visual challenges for many drivers. The design of ZEISS DriveSafe Lenses accommodates drivers’ special visual needs.
