ZEISS is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of spectacle lenses, and is committed to delivering maximum precision and comfort. Nearly 175 years, ZEISS designs and produces lenses, instruments and measurement systems, as well as retail concepts and technology services that continue to raise the bar in vision care.
DuraVision® BlueProtect by ZEISS is a coating specially developed for people who spend a lot of their time indoors and are exposed to blue-violet light from LEDs as well as TV, computer or tablet screens.
ZEISS lenses with DuraVision® BlueProtect AR coating are three times harder than the previous generation of hard anti-reflective (AR) coated plastic ZEISS lenses1 and 35 % harder than AR coated glass ZEISS lenses.

The patented anti-static layer3 prevents the build-up of static electricity. As dust and lint are not attracted to the lens surface, lenses stay cleaner longer.

The super-slick Clean Coat makes lenses very easy to clean. Lenses with high contact angles repel oil and water more effectively. ZEISS lenses with DuraVision® BlueProtect AR coating have a contact angle of a minimum of 110° (lenses without super-slick clean coat: 95°).

A less noticeable and blue reflection colour increases the light transmitted by the lens, resulting in even better vision. These lenses show more than 20% less luminous reflectance than conventional green AR coated ZEISS lenses.

Blue light radiation from light sources or display devices can be irritating or tiring for some people's eyes. This is where ZEISS lenses with DuraVision® BlueProtect can help. They attenuate the blue light in the range from 390 to 440 nm – without compromising the positive properties of blue light in the range from 450 to 500 nm.
A vast array of factors, technologies and wearer data are incorporated in the production of ZEISS progressive lenses, ensuring a faster adaptation period than ever before. No matter if you already have experience wearing progressive glasses or are wearing them for the first time.
Based on their main daily activities and visual needs, consumers can be grouped into three vision categories:
The constant use of digital devices poses new challenges for our eyes: smartphones and tablets require a smaller reading distance than books or other print media, leading to frequent and fast refocusing: from near to far and vice-versa – e.g. from a smartphone to a newspaper and back again.
These switching strains your eyes every day and can result in e.g. burning eyes, visual stress or even headaches and neck pain. Progressive lenses from ZEISS incorporate changes to your visual behaviour through a specially optimised near zone
Digital Inside® Technology from ZEISS enables the production of a progressive lens designed to help you comfortably switch between various viewing distances, giving you comfortable vision over the long term – as well as a pair of progressive glasses which has evolved to meet the challenges of the digital world.
In the knowledge that pupil size changes in different light conditions, the new Luminance Design® Technology factors in an average pupil size. For more natural vision simulation, it calculates the lens design bundle by bundle.
Small pupil during the day
Mid-size pupil in mesopic conditions
Large pupil at night
