Your ZEISS lenses will have sunglass-level UV protection – but there’s so much more to choose from. Let’s help you find glasses that are perfect for you.
Lenses with UV protection up to 400 nm – that’s the standard recommended by the World Health Organization. That’s sunglass-level protection. That’s what you’ll get in your clear ZEISS lenses – thanks to our scientists challenging what once seemed impossible.
Not-so-fun fact: Many clear plastic lenses that claim to provide full UV protection only protect up to 380 nm, meaning some harmful rays might still reach your eyes. Whether you’re looking for sunglasses or clear glasses with UV protection for everyday wear, be sure to check the fine print. Never settle for less than the 400 nm standard.
You probably remember sunblock and sunglasses on bright, hot days – but what about when it’s overcast? Either way UV rays are always there. With UV exposure of up to 75% on cloudy days, your eyes still need protection.
Breathe easy when you’re wearing your ZEISS glasses with UV protection – no matter the weather.
Many claim to have it – but it’s all about the nanometers. ZEISS clear plastic lenses provide UV protection up to 400 nm. That’s the same amount of protection provided by premium sunglasses and the standard recommended by the World Health Organization.
UV rays can pose a major risk to long-term eye health. Its high energy may cause acute and chronic damage to the cellular tissue of the skin and eyes. Excessive UV exposure may cause your eyes to get sunburned – a condition called photokeratitis. It may also cause serious diseases like macular degeneration and cataracts – a frequent cause of blindness. Thankfully, ZEISS UVProtect in all ZEISS clear plastic lenses provides sunglass-level UV protection for your eyes.
Your eye doctor may be able to help you figure this out. State-of-the-art tools like the ZEISS VISULENS® 550 effectively measure the levels of UV protection in your lenses.
