Everything you should know about your new ZEISS precision lenses

Most wearers experience no difficulties with progressive lenses from ZEISS Vision Care or need only a short time to adapt to them. It helps to wear the new glasses constantly and “practice” a bit, keeping the following tips in mind:

Read a text keeping your head relatively straight at first and slowly lowering your gaze. Then you’ll see clearly through the lower part of the lens. When you turn your head to the side, the text will slowly move out of focus. The lateral areas of the progressive lenses can be used for orientation; to see clearly, look straight at the text. When you raise your eyes again after reading, you’ll be looking through the distance zone of the progressive lenses and you’ll see things clearly at a distance. Look out of the window and tilt your head backwards. The image will become blurry, because you are no longer looking through the distance zone of the lenses. Move your head back into the normal position and you’ll see clearly again.  Learn more

Look at something at an intermediate distance, such as a computer screen. By moving your head up and down slightly, you’ll quickly find the area of the lenses that corresponds to that distance. After a short familiarisation period, you’ll automatically look through the right parts of the lenses.

In general: People who have never worn glasses or glasses with progressive lenses need a bit of time to get accustomed to them.

Progressive lenses enable you to see clearly at all distances. The zones for different distances transition continuously from one to the other, which enables you to see every single detail up close and at a distance without any image jump. Wear your glasses continuously when you are getting used to them.

The change to glasses with progressive lenses can also be more difficult if you have had vision problems for a longer period of time without wearing glasses at all. The vision centre of your brain must initially become accustomed to the new conditions.

Should you still be dissatisfied and your vision does not improve, have your eye care professional check the lenses on-site to ensure that the corrective powers correspond to the prescription and that the lenses are properly centred.­

Before delivery, all ZEISS branded lenses are marked with the ZEISS Clarity quality seal, the Z-engraving trademark. In bifocal, trifocal and progressive lenses, this trademark is positioned so that it is most likely still visible after glazing. Due to the centreing and glazing data required for the glazing of single vision lenses, the trademark may no longer be visible in the lens after edging.

The engraved Z guarantees the high quality of the ZEISS lens as well as important features distinguishing them from no-name lenses.

ZEISS Vision Care is certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001/2000. This certification goes far beyond the minimum statutory requirements for the CE mark and includes high quality standards for the product as well as especially tough requirements for employee qualification. Moreover, ZEISS Vision Care conducts during the production process exquisite internal test specifications.

We guarantee that the quality of the optimal imaging takes priority over all other product criteria.

With regard to the distribution of the lenses from ZEISS Vision Care, we ensure that they are fitted exclusively by qualified eye care professionals.

The Z is engraved with a laser in a non-contact process on the back surface at a precisely defined distance from the optical reference point. The laser is operated with a wavelength that permits only a low level of penetration, so that the laser symbol is visible to the viewer, but does not irritate the wearer looking through the lens.

The warranty applies to all lenses that bear the trademark. Should you be dissatisfied with the optical performance of the lens within 12 months after purchasing your glasses, we will exchange it for another type of lens with the same corrective powers from the ZEISS Vision Care lens range. Regardless of this, our current manufacturer’s warranty of 24 months naturally applies to all ZEISS lenses.

An exchange in terms of value is not possible; in the event of a higher-quality product, an additional charge may be incurred. The warranty does not cover exchanges for cosmetic reasons, reasons of weight or improper handling.
