Your ZEISS lenses will have full UV protection – but there’s so much more to choose from. Let’s help you to find glasses that are perfect for you.
Lenses with UV protection up to 400nm – that’s the standard recommended by the World Health Organisation. That’s sunglass-level protection. That’s what you’ll get in your clear ZEISS lenses – thanks to our scientists challenging what once seemed impossible.
Not.so.fun fact: Many lenses that claim 100% UV protection only protect up to 380nm meaning some harmful rays might still reach your eyes. Whether you’re looking for sunglasses or clear glasses with UV protection for everyday wear, be sure to check the fine print. Never settle for less than the ZEISS 400nm standard.
You probably remember sunscreen and sunglasses on bright, hot days – maybe not when it's overcast? But UV rays are always there. With UV exposure up to 75% on cloudy days, your eyes still need protection.
Breathe easy when you're wearing your ZEISS glasses with UV protection – no matter the weather.
Many claim to have it – but it’s all about the nanometres. ZEISS clear organic lenses provide UV protection up to 400nm. That’s the same amount of protection provided by sunglasses and the standard recommended by the World Health Organisation.
UV rays pose a major risk to long-term eye health. Its high energy can cause acute and chronic damage to the cellular tissues of the skin and eyes. Excessive UV exposure can cause your eyes to get sunburned – a condition called photokeratitis. It can also cause serious diseases like macular degeneration and cataracts – a frequent cause of blindness. Thankfully, ZEISS UVProtect in all ZEISS clear organic lenses provides sunglass-level UV protection for your eyes.
Your optometrist may be able to help you figure this out. State-of-the-art tools like the ZEISS VISULENS® 550 effectively measure the levels of UV protection in your lenses.
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.
Study participants were asked to rate how important different aspects (“price”, “to see clearly across the entire lens”, “easy to adapt to”, “comfortable vision across the entire lens”, “aesthetics”, “available coatings”, “matches the frame”) are for them, when choosing new spectacle lenses. Wearer trial comparing 1.60 ZEISS ClearView FSV and 1.60 ZEISS AS FSV in a laboratory setup and in everyday life. N=20 study participants. Technology & Innovation, Carl Zeiss Vision GmbH, 2020.
