ZEISS
SmartLife Young Single-Vision Lenses
Zeiss’ SmartLife lens portfolio includes designs to address the changing requirements of young wearers—SmartLife Young Single-Vision lenses.
According to Zeiss, technologies featured in all SmartLife lenses have been adapted for SmartLife Young Single-Vision lenses to meet the specific visual needs of wearers ages 6-19. Zeiss’ SmartView 2.0 technology considers young people’s visual behavior as “connected and active,” resulting in 60% wider fields of clear viewing for handheld digital devices compared with the company’s conventional single-vision lenses. To address the natural growth in pupil diameter through the age of 20, Zeiss’ Luminance Design 2.0 technology considers wearers’ age-related pupil diameter in lens calculation for optimal performance, Zeiss shares.
Developed specifically for this age group, Zeiss’ Dynamic AgeFit technology considers changes to the position of wear and frame parameters by measuring facial age-related anatomy to optimize lens design, according to the company.
