ZEISS Progressive Lens Individual 2
Tailor-made to meet all individual requirements.
Nowadays, more and more people are enjoying an individualised way of life. And they are asking for the appropriate tailor-made solutions.
The eyes should be seen as part of a whole person
No two people are alike – individuals differ not only in their anatomy.
Their style and visual preferences are closely linked to their way of life. A progressive lens should not only be matched to the wearer’s physiology, but also to their main daily activities.
ZEISS Progressive Lens Individual 2 responds to this challenge with a solution that delivers best natural vision in any situation.
