Put simply, SmartLife Young lenses are designed especially for kids and teenagers who are either nearsighted or farsighted. Dynamic AgeFit technology adapts the SmartLife Young lens design to their smaller faces and frames. ZEISS Luminance Design technology considers the increase in pupil diameter from ages 6 to 19. Smart Dynamic Optics ensure their glasses fit their dynamic visual behavior.

Of course, we’re huge fans of our SmartLife lenses. Thanks to many technologies including Age Intelligence, they’re simply our best all-day lenses, for everyone – including kids and teenagers. ZEISS SmartLife Young features optics that are optimized for the young generation.

If you notice your child squinting, complaining of headaches or eye pain, struggling to concentrate or adopting an unnatural posture while busy with visual tasks, please make sure to see an eye doctor for a complete eye exam. It’s best to get your child’s eyes tested at least every two years. We’re happy to help you find a trusted ZEISS partner near you to have them take a closer look. If you’d like to get an idea of how well your child sees before your appointment, try our quick and easy Online Vision Screening – it’s free of charge.

We know this can be a real struggle, and we don’t have all the answers. We advise parents to discuss the positive aspects of eyeglasses with their kids. Treat it like a cool accessory with superpowers to help them see and perform their very best. Involve them in the buying decision and make choosing a frame an experience. We can tell you that 81% of ZEISS SmartLife wearers adapt to their lenses in just one day.¹ That’s convincing stuff that might impress even the most stubborn kid.

Visit an eye doctor who will answer all the questions you and your child or teenager might have. It’s always good to call before stopping in to get their full attention. Need a good recommendation? Find a trusted ZEISS partner in your area.
