  • Have trouble seeing clearly both near and far?
  • Are your ready readers or current progressive glasses limiting your view?
  • Want tailor-made progressive glasses for sharp vision at any distance?

We get it

It can be tough to notice how your vision changes with age. But the culprit – presbyopia – is a normal part of life. SmartLife® lenses by ZEISS are packed with technology to tackle the issues often associated with progressive glasses.

Oh, so smooth.

Progressive lenses require you to look through different zones to see short, intermediate and long distances.

ZEISS Progressive SmartLife lenses are designed for clear vision at all distances and a smooth transition across optimized viewing zones.1

Comfort – all the way to the edges

Thanks to Smart Dynamic Optics, a smoother transition into the lens periphery makes SmartLife®Progressive lenses a great fit for life on the move.1

Love at first sight.

New to progressives – or already wearing them? We’re confident you’ll get used to your new SmartLife glasses in no time.

Lens ingredients to complete your SmartLife lenses.

You’ve chosen a great lens design – but you have a few more choices to make. These factors are worth considering before you buy your next pair.

Your eyes

SmartLife progressives provide three prescriptions in one, to help presbyopic eyes focus at all distances. Your eye doctor should confirm if this is the right lens type for you.

Your lifestyle

SmartLife® by ZEISS is designed for today’s digital lifestyle and related visual behavior. We can personalize it even more – just ask your eye doctor for ZEISS Progressive SmartLife Individual 3.

Your face & frame

For even better vision and quicker adaptation, your viewing zones can be fine-tuned based on your frame and how it fits your face. Your eye doctor will need to take a few measurements. Our technology will do the rest.

Eye protection

Sunglass-level UV protection is a standard at ZEISS. Why not add ZEISS BlueGuard or self-tinting PhotoFusion X? Both feature built-in blue light protection and are great options for a busy, screen-filled life.

Thickness & weight

All ZEISS SmartLife lenses are designed to be thin and flat. You also have a choice of lens material and index – it can influence how you look and feel with your new pair of glasses.

Durability & care

A ZEISS DuraVision lens coating of your choice will reinforce your glasses, make them easy to clean and more. Add the features that are important to you.

Any questions?

  • ZEISS Progressive SmartLife lenses are ideal for people aged 40 and up who need help focusing at any distance or don’t want to rely on ready readers for good vision close up. If you’re not quite ready for progressives, ZEISS Digital SmartLife lenses are another great option.

  • Not at all – you’ll be surprised how quickly you feel comfortable in your new eyeglasses. Most wearers only needed one day to get used to the new lenses.

  • SmartLife lenses are already packed with technology – but you can add some optional extras to personalize them even more. SmartLife Individual is our most customizable lens. It includes eight different technologies that combine to deliver the best optical performance ZEISS has to offer.

  • Our technology makes our ZEISS Progressive SmartLife lenses lighter and thinner than other progressive lenses. You’ll love how they feel.

  • Contact a trusted eye doctor to customize the ideal SmartLife lens for you.
