    ZEISS Progressive Light 2 lenses have a modern design, which means they have a field of clear view with a smooth transition distributed across the peripheral areas. This allows for fast adaptation and clear vision at any distance for the wearer. ZEISS Progressive Light 2 lenses start from +0.75D up to +4.00D addition power and are available in three variations to meet different visual needs.

Why did we develop ZEISS Light 2 lenses?

  • Clear vision at all distances—near to far

    The basic need of a 35+ year-old is to see clear near and far again. 35–44 year olds experience blurry vision/tired eyes for the first time and 45+ year-old presbyopia patients with mature eyes mostly don’t see clearly near and far at all. These patients would like to restore their natural vision effortlessly with one pair of glasses.

  • Digitalization of mature groups

    More people are spending more time using digital devices to perform activities. This is the trend across all age groups, specifically among the mature ones.1

  • The “first-timers of progressive wear”

    GenXers and Millennials, who are reaching their late 30s/mid 40s2 are now starting to wear eyeglasses for the first time in their lives. 

Mobile internet usage has worked its way into our daily lives.

  • 5 billion

    unique users in the global mobile population in 2022.3

  • 3.76 million

    apps available for Android in 2023.4

The average patient's eyes face different challenges daily.

The use of smartphones has changed people's lifestyles. More people are spending more time using digital devices to perform activities. This trend applies across all age groups.1

  • The use of digital devices and their all-day presence in patients' daily lives have a significant impact on their reading behavior.
  • For example: the reading distance has changed from 16 inches for print media (books, newspapers) to 12-14 inches for digital devices (smartphones, tablets).5
