ZEISS Vision Care

Founded in 1846, the innovative strength and extensive optical expertise of ZEISS has played a central role in shaping the eyeglass industry since 1912. April 1st 1912 marked the beginning of medical technology at ZEISS with two key inventions, combining medical and optical expertise which is still unique in the world to this day.

ZEISS launched PUNKTAL, the world’s first-ever point-focal imaging precision eyeglass lens. It was a revolutionary new design developed in line with scientific principles and it would form the basis for all modern lenses. The dynamics of human vision were taken into account in a lens for the very first time.

Instead of the “tunnel vision” associated with magnifiers, eyeglass lenses now offered unparalleled imaging across the entire lens surface – even when wearers turned their heads, moved their eyes or changed their viewing distance.

That same day, the world’s first slit lamp was launched for performing eye exams. For over one hundred years, ZEISS has addressed the challenge of providing its customers with an optimal visual experience.

Our daily work is sharply focused on the wishes and needs of our customers because every eye is as individual as a fingerprint and because individual demands for better vision require individualized solutions.

Innovations like ZEISS DriveSafe lenses, instruments and platforms such as the ZEISS i.Profiler and ZEISS i.Terminal, and apps like “My Vision Profile” have received multiple awards for their design, user-friendliness and technological excellence.

It’s important to note that ZEISS Vision Care is a partner for its customers, and not a competitor. Unlike other global suppliers, ZEISS does not operate its own stores, neither on- or offline. All offers, products and innovations serve the sole purpose of making ZEISS customers successful: ophthalmic opticians, purchasing groups, brand manufacturers and optical chains. Stores that carry the ZEISS brand are operated by independent eye care professionals, dealers and purchasing groups.
