The science behind ZEISS ClearMind.

How vision works.

With vision being the dominant sense for humans, seeing clearly is essential to unlocking human potential in today’s fast-paced, visually demanding world. At ZEISS we know vision is a complex process that happens also in the brain, not just the eyes.

As light and visual information enter the eye, it is projected onto the retina, where the photoreceptors sit. Signals from the photoreceptors are projected via bipolar and ganglion cells to the lateral geniculate nucleus.

Further information processing (e.g., recognition of shapes, objects, etc.) happens in different areas of the brain, including the working memory – a cognitive system responsible for temporarily holding and processing information needed for complex tasks, such as reasoning, learning and comprehension.

Crisp, clear vision is easy for the mind to process. When vision is blurred, the eyes transmit incomplete information to the brain. This forces the brain to work harder to interpret and fill in the gaps with the missing details, increasing the cognitive load.

ZEISS research shows that blurred vision increases cognitive load.

Based on our understanding of how a person’s vision and mind are connected, ZEISS conducted original research in collaboration with the University of Tübingen to explore whether or not the blur in eyeglass lenses affects cognitive load. Lens blur may increase the effort required for the brain to process visual information.

In an EEG (electroencephalography) study, participants were asked to perform different tasks while their brain activity was monitored. We then introduced lens blur to the tasks and compared their performance and brain responses.

The result: For the first time worldwide, ZEISS demonstrated that lens blur affects cognitive load.

The first of its kind.

ZEISS ClearMind is the first ZEISS Lens built on the scientific finding that vision clarity can reduce perceived cognitive load.

Clear vision where it matters most.

The ZEISS NeurOptix technology in ClearMind lenses take into consideration neuroscientific effects by mapping people’s visual behavior and natural eye movement patterns during frequent everyday tasks.

These insights guide the design of ZEISS ClearMind, ensuring exceptional clarity in lens zones where the brain needs it most, while managing lens-induced blur to minimize perceived cognitive load.

ZEISS ClearMind wearers notice the difference:

  • 96% of wearers report extremely clear vision.3
  • 76% of wearers say that the lenses increase their ability to concentrate on tasks.3
  • 84% of wearers report a positive contribution to their overall feeling of well-being.3

    For people aged 18+ with blurred vision near or far.

    Engineered to minimize peripheral blur for an expanded effective visual field compared to other ZEISS single vision lenses. The lens design makes processing visual input more efficient. Uninterrupted visual clarity helps reduce perceived cognitive load.

    • Crisp, clear vision all day long.
    • Revitalized eyes for all-day comfort.
    • Reduced perceived cognitive load.2

  • ZEISS ClearMind Anti-fatigue Lenses

    Individual 3
    A smiling 35-year-old man wearing ZEISS ClearMind digital lenses in a city.

    For people aged 25+ with blurred vision near or far and tired eyes.

    The lower part of the lens provides accommodative support ranging from +0.25D to 1.25D. It also includes design enhancements tailored to single vision and new lens wearers, such as viewing zones optimized for people with 20/20 vision. Its compressed corridor means easier transitions to the near power zone. This lens design also helps people get used to ZEISS Progressive Lenses quickly and easily in the future.

    • Crisp, clear vision all day long.
    • Revitalized eyes that feel less tired after a long day.
    • A near vision boost supports close-up vision.
    • Reduced perceived cognitive load.2

  • ZEISS ClearMind Progressive Lenses
