and online, all at the same time?

Help your eyes keep up.

ZEISS Single Vision SmartLife lenses with Smart Dynamic Optics make it easy for your eyes to switch between the screen and real life, from near to far. Enjoy crisp vision at all distances – even when you’re on the go.

Broaden your perspective.

Standard single vision lenses help people see clearly – but mostly through the center of the lens. This isn’t ideal for how we use our eyes in today’s connected, on-the-move world. We need good peripheral vision.1 ZEISS SmartView technology calculates your lens design for sharp vision in any direction – all the way to the edges.

Heavy on tech. Light as a feather.

Lens ingredients to complete your SmartLife lenses.

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

Your eyes

ZEISS Single Vision SmartLife has one optical prescription to correct either near or distance vision. Your eye doctor should confirm if this is the right lens type for you.

Your lifestyle

Beyond your prescription, SmartLife® is designed for HOW you use your eyes while you’re connected and on the move. With intelligence augmentation (IA), we can personalize it even more – just ask your eye doctor for ZEISS Single Vision SmartLife Individual 3.

Your face and frame

Your lenses can be fine-tuned to fit the anatomy of your face. This is made possible with ZEISS FaceFit technology and some measurements taken by your eye doctor.

Eye protection

Sunglass-level UV protection is a given in all SmartLife lenses. You can also add ZEISS BlueGuard for blue light protection or ZEISS PhotoFusion X – for sunglasses and clear eyeglasses all in one. Both are great options for a busy, screen-filled life.

Thickness and 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 and 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?

  • This lens is usually ideal for people in their 20s but will benefit anyone who has issues seeing either near (hyperopic) OR far (myopic). Our ZEISS SmartLife portfolio is a great option for children and older lens wearers as well.

  • The magic of a lens lies in its design. Unlike most single vision lenses sold worldwide, ZEISS SmartLife lenses have a freeform design. This means that many aspects of the lens optics can be customized to the individual wearer, which can result in better vision through a larger area of the lens. Based on scientific research on people’s visual behavior, these lenses are also optimized to perfectly suit our connected, on-the-move lifestyle and support busy eyes that need to constantly switch their focus.

  • We definitely think so. While ready-made readers are an affordable and convenient choice, they are not made specifically for you. ZEISS SmartLife reading glasses can be customized for your preferred reading distances – for natural, comfortable vision close up.
