ZEISS
SmartLife Lens Portfolio
Zeiss has launched the latest update to its SmartLife lens portfolio—lenses designed to deliver visual comfort for dynamic visual behavior across all ages.
Designed for digitally immersive lifestyles, the updated Zeiss SmartLife lens portfolio employs Zeiss’ SmartView 2.0 technology in three lens types: single vision, progressive, and digital. The Digital SmartLife lenses offer an overall lower blur level compared with Zeiss Digital lenses, designed for easier transitions into progressive lenses at a later stage, according to Zeiss.

The portfolio employs Zeiss’ Intelligence Augmented Design technology that, according to Zeiss, measures the wearer’s visual behavior and individual attributes to deliver clear central vision and smooth peripheral vision. Zeiss shares that the SmartLife lens designs enable easy shifting between different viewing distances and directions.
SmartLife considers age-related optimization parameters to address evolving vision needs with the following technologies: Zeiss’ Luminance Design 2.0 technology measures average light conditions alongside the age-related pupil diameter of the wearer, and the Zeiss Single Vision SmartLife Young lenses feature Zeiss’ Dynamic AgeFit technology to optimize lens designs according to children’s age-related facial anatomy.
