Anything else to add?
Consider these lens ingredients for your perfect next pair.
ZEISS ClearView corrects your vision, but you have a few more choices to make. These factors are worth considering before you buy your next pair.
Affordable and available quickly, standard single vision lenses are a popular choice. You can even buy these type of glasses online.
But there's a catch: Conventional single vision lens designs often compromise good optics to make them flat and thin enough. The result is clarity through the center of the lens, but blurred vision through the sides.
ZEISS ClearView raises the bar for pre-moulded single vision lenses – so you don’t have to compromise.
One benefit of what we call stock lenses is quick availability. While ZEISS ClearView lenses can also be made to order, optometrists can keep common prescriptions in stock. That means glasses for distance or close-up vision could be ready in as little as one day. ZEISS ClearView is your priority lane to excellent optical performance.
Freeform technology – once reserved for bespoke lenses – is incorporated into the ClearView design in a complex mould-generating process. We can optimise over 700 points of the lens surface. This ground-breaking innovation makes our “standard” single vision lenses look and perform better than ever before.
An outstanding choice for anyone who is short-sighted, long-sighted or has astigmatism and wants thin and flat single vision lenses with excellent optics – at an excellent value. If you are looking for a more personalised option and truly tailormade optics, ZEISS SmartLife – our very best single vision lenses – might also be an option.
ZEISS ClearView lenses are designed using a sophisticated freeform optical design and made with ZEISS’s state-of-the-art ClearForm® technology. They provide clear vision from the lens centre to the periphery while being much thinner and flatter – with zones of excellent vision clarity that are an average of three times larger than standard single vision lenses.1 They also protect your eyes from harmful rays with integrated UV protection and optional blue light protection.
Some single vision glasses like ready-made readers can be bought off-the-shelf in local pharmacies or even grocery stores. While they’re a useful quick fix for reading up close, their optics tend to be rather basic. If you want high-quality reading glasses or single vision distance glasses without having to wait, ask your optometrist. Some single vision lenses, including ZEISS ClearView, can be pre-manufactured and kept in stock. This means the lenses can be cut, fitted to your frame of choice and ready to wear in no time.
Based on a visual clarity simulation on a 50 mm diameter lens area for 1.60 index ZEISS ClearView FSV lenses compared to 1.60 ZEISS AS FSV lenses. Average of +5D, +3D, +1D, -1D, -3D, -5D and -7D with and without a cylinder of -2D. Quantitative analyses by Technology & Innovation, Carl Zeiss Vision GmbH, 2020.
Measurements of lens flatness (base curve) on 1.60 ZEISS ClearView FSV lenses compared to ZEISS SPH FSV lenses over a range of prescriptions (-5D, -3D, -1D, +1D, +3D, +5D with and without cyl -2D). Maximum reduction of 49 % of -5.00D with and without cyl -2D. Quantitative analyses by Technology & Innovation, Carl Zeiss Vision GmbH, 2020.
Measurements of lens thickness on 1.60 ZEISS ClearView FSV lenses compared to ZEISS SPH FSV lenses over a range of prescriptions (-5D, -3D, -1D, +1D, +3D, +5D with and without cyl -2D). Maximum reduction of 16 % for centre thickness of +5.00/-2.00. Quantitative analyses by Technology & Innovation, Carl Zeiss Vision GmbH, 2020.
