Advanced lens coating technology allows crystal-clear vision in any weather, It repels dirt and simplifies lens maintenance. It can even enhance the appearance of your eyeglasses. Zeiss coatings turn every lens into a small masterpiece, combining practicality with pleasure.

Anti-reflective Coatings

Lenses that do not have anti-reflective coating comes with a fundamental disadvantage they produce clearly visible light reflections that can cause vision problems.

These light reflections are particularly disruptive on wet roads or while driving at night, but also in face-to-face conversations when people looking at you see glare or their own reflection in your glasses instead of your eyes.

Anti-reflective coatings give you the clearest, sharpest vision, make your eyeglasses more attractive and allow others a clearer view of your eyes.

The performance of the anti-reflective coating is judged by how efficient it is at reducing reflections. Anti-reflective coatings come in various performance levels, and can be combined into various upgrade packages (such as coating that repels dirt or filter tints).

The best anti-reflective coatings reflect less that 1% of the light that reaches them, compared to 7-13% for uncoated lenses. The remaining reflections will be seen in a subtle but distinctive color usually blue with advanced Zeiss coatings.

Scratch-resistant Coating

A scratch-resistant coating is a must for plastic lenses. Although plastic lenses are light, comfortable and easy to wear, they are also softer and less resistant to scratches compared to uncoated glass lenses.

A special coating greatly increases the scratch resistance of plastic lenses, thus maintaining constant vision quality and prolonging the lifespan of your spectacles. Plastic lenses from Carl Zeiss Vision are always available with a high-quality scratch coating, regardless of the specific material.

Lenses That Stay Cleaner For Longer

Premium Zeiss anti-reflective coatings feature a top layer that repels water and the oil that makes up a fingerprint or smudge.As a result, cleaning your lenses is a breeze.
