ZEISS Single Vision AS

The Classic Plastic Lens with an Aspheric Surface Design

Thanks to its rotationally symmetrical, aspheric front surface, ZEISS Single Vision Aspheric displays a flatter front curvature and excellent visual quality. It is therefore visibly flatter and thinner than a ZEISS Single Vision lens with the same power, especially in the plus range.

ZEISS Single Vision AS is recommended for eyeglass wearers with high prescriptions who want cosmetically attractive, lightweight lenses with improved optics.

Correcting the spherical aberration

In spherical lenses peripheral rays are more strongly refracted than rays near the optical axis. This aberration is known as spherical aberration.


The spectacle lens wearer will perceive this aberration as blur, especially when not looking through the optical center of the lens.

Aspherical Surface Design
Aspheric surface with uniform flattening

The solution: Aspherical Surface Design

If the surface of the lens is "folded open" in the peripheral areas so that the surface structure deviates from the spherical shape (aspherical surface), all rays coming from the distance meet again at one point. The aberration is corrected.

A positive side effect of this flattening is that it leads to thinner and lighter lenses. This effect is most evident with high plus powers. In this case, the reduction of the center thickness also leads to a reduced magnification effect (eyes look more natural).

  • Aspheric surface design for outstanding visual quality
  • Flatter front curvature than non-aspheric or non-atoric lenses
  • Eyes are less magnified than with traditional lenses
  • High resistance to breakage (very suitable for sports and children’s spectacles)
