Nowadays world presents more and more challenges to our eyes, particularly when driving. This is the pre-condition that "lead" ZEISS to propose a lens for the whole day optimized for drivers who wear glasses.

For the first time in the history of the brand, this new kind of technology will be shown to the world passing firstly through our Fair Country.

Developing innovations for particular nees of nowadays world, improving our life quality. This is how DriveSafe was born, this is a lens that allows to: 

• improve sight in conditions of low light fora  more safe and pleasant drive. 
  
• reduce night dazzling due to street lights or to crossing of other cars.
• excellent vision of the street, of dashboard of rear-view mirror and of side mirrors, above all for progressive lenses bearers. 
  

To facilitate beares of progressive lenses the fast focalisation between street, dashboard and mirrors  (70-80cm about) ZEISS developed the new progressive lenses ZEISS DriveSafe with optimization of functional areas at far distance (+14% more width of functional area for far distance ) and intermediate (+43% more width of functional area for the intermediate ) reducing the need of horizontal movements of the hea.

In essence,the new progressive lens thought for those who drive, allows to have :

• a correct position when driving 
• dynamic vision at ease for a soft and fast passage between far distance to intermediate
• clear vision of dashboard      
  
• sufficient width of near distace area to ensure the holding of typical activities of every day life.

Furthermore, due to  Luminance Design Tecnology by ZEISS vision is improved in conditions of low light calculating thedesign of lens for rays beam covering the whole area of pupilar opening in conditions of low light (mesopic).This kind of optimization ensure a limitation of astigmatisms and in areas with spherical errors of lens, giving a spacial perception very close to reality.

An unique pair of lenses for daily use and a safe drive.

Due to two exclusive technologies,  Essilor exceeds the compromise imposed by progressive lenses and introduces the new revolution Varilux.

A revolution in technology, Nanoptix.

As for the processing of calculating for  Varilux S lenses, Nanoptix re-designs the surphaces' structure to minimize each "waving" effect

Through this process, Nanoptix divides the lens in thousands of micro-areas to  stabilise la deviazione dei raggi

• considered that base curve and the refractive power affect rays devation , their combination is optimized for every micro-area
• The base of the front surface in every micro area is caluclated to compensate the effect of power on deviation: the base curve decreases while the power necessary to stabilize the devation of rays on the whole lens , increases
• all the micro-areas are connected to correct prescription of the carrier minimizingeach "waving" effect 

A design revolution, Synchroneyes.

Based upon the reachest Reasearch on Visual System, the technology  SynchronEyes contemplates the physiological differences between the 2 eyes to offer more wider vision fields.

• Considered that the quality of retinic imagesright and left affects the bonocular vision field, the calculation of 2 lenses is synchronized .
• All the optimizations of lenses consider the differences between the prescriptions of right and left eye, as for the pupilar semi-distances
• For all the gaze's directions, the quality of retinical images for right and left eye is very similar, with a consequent maximization of binocular visual field.

To integrate Nanoptix technology, the production process Essilor is based on the maximum precision and quality. S Digital Surfacing takes benefit from the complete performances of the process  Advanced Digital Surfacing and it is 5 times more effective and precise.

S Digital Surfacing is developed upon a new process patented by Essilor: an active cycle of measurements at very high precision in position and stopping of lenses in the working phase with a diamond point.

Choose Varilux S series, reduction up to 90% of "waving" effect and binocular vision field up to 50% wider compared to the main lenses of wide range present on the market.

Absolute quality synonymous, ZEISS has always put at center of attention the visual wellness of end user. The fact to clarify a warranty of purchased product, through the well know incision of brand on the lens, is synonymous of safety, cure, and interest with regards to end user  in terms of maximum possible visual comfort

The brand incision ‘Z’ is on every progressive lens ZEISS at 17 mm towards the temple side and at 5 mm up on assembly cross for faraway. It is situated, then, sideways, with respect to glaze axis of who wears eyeglasses. The brand has dimensions of  2 x 2 mm and it is made on internal surface of lens. The incision of brand ‘Z’ is put also on mono focal ZEISS but  due to technical motivations linked to frame caliber, and to specific assembly parameters, could not be visible in shaped lens.

The ZEISS quality, originated by an experience of over 160 years, deserves a name: ZEISS Clarity.

Did you know that ZEISS Clarity lenses, originated by a technology Made in Germany, before being put on market, are exposed to 18 different control tests ?

At a first glance, all lenses can look clear and transparent. At microscope, instead, a small dullness, the presence of micro particles and/ or scratches, make the difference between a high quality lens and a low quality lens.
