How do I find the best progressive lenses?

Progressive lenses are optical masterpieces which offer smooth vision from near to far via what is known as the progression corridor or the transitional zone. But not all progressive lenses are the same. Your progressive lenses should match your personal requirements, lifestyle and, of course your budget, whilst providing you with natural, comfortable vision. It is important for you to understand exactly how your new progressive lenses work. Applying over 100 years of experience in the production of precision eyeglass lenses and after detailed market research, ZEISS has now created four different types of progressive lenses.

• All you want is to be able to read better with your new progressive lenses.
• And you read not only books, newspapers and magazines, but also a mobile phone or smartphone.
• You also want thin and light lenses.

• You are fashion-conscious, and this comes into play when it comes to choosing new frames. But this does not mean that you are prepared to accept compromises in the quality of your progressive lenses.
• You certainly don't want to have go through an irritating re-adaptation process with your new frames.
• And, of course, you also use digital devices such as smartphones and want to read on the screen with the same ease as when reading a book.

Generally speaking, the better the progressive lens is adapted to the anatomy of the wearer and the more personalized it is, the better the utilization of three-dimensional vision and enhanced distance performance.  FaceAdapt Technology makes it all possible.

How come?

By taking into account the exact facial anatomy of the wearer , e.g., how they look through the frames and how the frames sits on their nose and ears, the progressive lenses produced provide precisely the visual support needed.
