NEW ZEISS SmartLife Lens Portfolio
All-day comfort for today’s busy eyes.
Today’s mobile technology and on-the-move lifestyles are stressing our eyes. Frequent gaze changes to and from smart devices can lead to eyestrain. ZEISS SmartLife Lenses are specially designed to support quick and easy peripheral vision for all-day comfort
The first complete lens portfolio for a connected and on-the-move lifestyle.
Ever since the introduction of the smartphone, we have increasingly lived and become accustomed to 24/7 mobile internet access. This constant digital connectivity has a profound impact on our eyes and posture.
Research shows that people are no longer stationary while using their digital devices. In a recent study, more than half of respondents reported looking at their smartphones even while climbing stairs.
Eye care professionals need a complete premium lens portfolio to address this new connected, on-the-go lifestyle for all patients, whether they need single vision, digital or progressive lenses..
The first-of-its-kind ZEISS SmartLife Lens Portfolio offers all-day lens designs to address the visual needs of modern life. Broad enough to cover all age-related needs, it is specially designed for today’s connected and fast-paced lifestyles.
SmartLife lenses are based on four design principles that, in combination, meet the individual requirements of a dynamic, connected lifestyle for adults of all ages.
The foundation of the new ZEISS SmartLife Lens Portfolio – ZEISS SmartView Technology – is founded on research of today’s modern visual behavior. In addition to Clear Optics and Thin Optics, ZEISS SmartView Technology incorporates new Smart Dynamic Optics and Age Intelligence technologies. Smart Dynamic Optics is based on a sophisticated object space model that accounts for today’s visual behaviors while a new design fingerprint provides a smoother distribution of powers to improves visual comfort during eye movements throughout all areas of the lens.
The fastest growing segment of smartphone users is among people older than age 55. Age Intelligence technology optimizes the lens based on the eyes’ accommodation ability. As we age, the crystalline lens loses its elasticity, causing a decrease in the amplitude of accommodation. Further optimization accounts for the wearer’s pupil size and the gradual decrease in the ability of the pupil to dilate. Clear Optics provides precision in every step of the lens design and fabrication, while Thin Optics improves aesthetics by achieving the best in thin and light lenses.

What do SmartLife Lens Wearers Report?
In an external acceptance study, SmartLife Lenses gave 84% of single vision, digital, and progressive lens wearers all-day visual comfort. In this same study, 94% of SmartLife Single Vision wearers perceived wide fields of comfortable vision for intermediate and near vision tasks. 73% of SmartLife Digital Lens wearers reported feeling no eyestrain at the end of the day and the majority reported feeling less eye strain compared to their habitual lenses.
Additionally, 4 out of 5 SmartLife wearers experienced smoother vision from near to far across all viewing zones.
In today’s connected, on-the-move lifestyle, our visual behavior is dynamic with frequent gaze changes between various directions and distances. SmartLife lenses help wearers transition from a single vision lens into a digital lens with a low add power boost and finally to a digitally optimized progressive lens design.

About Author
I purchased 2 sets of 2 Individual 3 pairs of glasses at Professional Vision in Timonium, MD and the results were terrible. The first pair were everyday progressives where my eye doctors prescription was used. The distance was OK, but the mid was awful. When looking at my laptop and moving my eyes a mm or 2 my computer became a trapozoid. I addition. When sitting in my recliner, with only my legs elevated and head straight, I had to bend my chin to my chest to see the TV clearly. They were returned and I agreed to try the iScript option. After the scan and what I thought was a complete exam by the Doctor I agreed to try two more pairs. Weeks later I received glasses with a prescription that had the the same mid level problem with the computer but, in addition, my distance was totally out of focus. I spent months trying your top of the line Individual 3 lenses only to find out that they do not work! I have returned two sets of glasses and have nothing to show for it. The Zeiss Individual 3 lenses are NOT ready to be released in my opinion. They simply do not work. The most curious thing I have noticed is that there are no reviews nor are there any dispensing data available like there is for the Individual 2 lenses which is old technology. Needless to say I am not at all impressed with Zeiss lenses at this point in time, customer service to the consumer is non-existent and there is no data available to support Zeiss’s claim that these lenses are any better then the Individual 2. Signed, One VERY unsatisfied customer.
