Mirrors and more.

Add a layer of wow with sunglass coatings.

If you’re looking to enhance your vision or add a little extra glam, ZEISS DuraVision Mirror and Flash Mirror coatings can be added on top of your tint.
Add water-repellent, anti-static and anti-smudge properties with ZEISS DuraVision Sun – specially developed to supercharge your sunglass lenses. They’ll look newer for longer and be easy to clean.   

Polarized perfection.

Polarized glasses contain a special filter to block out intense glare from shiny surfaces such as roads, water, snow and ice. This makes them especially beneficial for outdoor activities such as fishing, skiing and driving. With enhanced contrast and color perception, you’ll see super clearly and be protected from UV rays.

ZEISS Active: Sport lenses for unlimited vision

  • Golfing: ProGolf lenses make bright light less intense while enhancing contrast perception through the selective absorption of specific wavelengths. Spot uneven terrain and bumps on the course more easily.

  • Snow & water sports:  With up to 90% light absorption, our Skylet® tints are a great option to protect your eyes from the dazzling light and glare caused by reflections from water or snow.

  • Mountain biking: Purple tints like our Sweet Violet help define contours, enhance color perception and work well in changing light conditions. They could be useful for mountain biking in the forest, but not on bright, sunny days.

  • Shooting sports: Our Sunset Violet tint highlights orange and dampens green. It could be helpful in spotting your target when shooting against a green background.

We’re up for the challenge.

Creating a wrapped lens presents a unique challenge. It should be as thin as possible – all the way to the edges – while effectively correcting your vision. With ZEISS Cosmetic Edge® technology, we are able to manufacture flat lenses with optimum vision correction, even with large lenses in highly wrapped frames. Thanks to this innovation, the edge thickness of the lens can be reduced by up to 30% for optimal vision and comfortable wear.1

Let’s recap.

Color is covered.

But what else should you consider?

Take all these lens ingredients into account to get the most out of your prescription sunglasses.

Your eyes

Just like our clear lenses, ZEISS prescription sunglass lenses are available for your focal type and vision needs. Your eye doctor should confirm your prescription.

Your lifestyle

Get sunglasses that look great AND optics tailored to your lifestyle and activities as well. Choose a lens design like ZEISS SmartLife or ZEISS DriveSafe and add the sunglass tint and coatings of your choice.

Your face & frame

Did you know your face and frame can play a role in how well you see? Your ZEISS eye doctor can fine-tune your lenses based on how they’re positioned in front of your eyes – for even better vision and outstanding comfort.

Eye protection

Our sunglasses offer sunglass-level UV protection up to 400  nm. Did you know that our clear lenses do the same?   

Thickness & weight

In addition to great colors and mirror coatings, ZEISS sunglass lenses come in a wide range of material indices to ensure they’re as thin and light as possible. Avoid pressure marks on your nose or glasses that slip off your face – ask your eye doctor about your options.

Durability & care

Make your sunglass lenses durable, scratch resistant and easier to clean with ZEISS DuraVision Sun – our special coating for sunglasses. If you’re also in the market for a clear pair of glasses, have a look at the rest of our DuraVision® coating line.

Any questions?

  • We don’t like to brag, but it might be ZEISS! Our prescription sunglass lenses are made with the same great lens designs that we use in our top-quality clear lenses. Get excellent optics, outstanding comfort and sunglass-level UV protection with a huge range of tints and looks to choose from. With ZEISS prescription sunglasses, you won’t have to compromise clear vision for good looks.

  • Good prescription sunglasses should reduce glare and provide UV protection up to 400  nm – the standard set by the World Health Organization. They should help you see clearly with optics that are optimized for your outdoor activities. They should be thin and light, durable and easy to clean. Last but not least – they should come in the color and style you want.
    ZEISS has an array of options that suit your lifestyle, not just your style. Combine colors, coatings and excellent optics to create signature shades for your outdoor needs.

  • The mirror effect on sunglasses is applied through a special lens coating. It consists of thin metal layers that add extra glare protection in addition to a very cool look. They help to bounce light away to keep it from reflecting into your eyes. Polarized mirror sunglasses are great for sports in which athletes are challenged by a lot of glare, like skiing, cycling, motorsports and almost all water sports.
