New Technology Allows For Better Vision While Driving

Vision on the road is critical to your safety. No matter what type of driving you do, seeing clearly can be challenging for almost any driver. Driving is hazardous enough without also having to worry about your vision.

Ask yourself
Is it hard for you to see objects quickly when driving in low light conditions like rain, twilight, or night?
Are you bothered by glare from oncoming headlights?
Do your current glasses give you problems when scanning the road, mirrors, and dashboard?

Driving requires seeing the road clearly so you can react quickly. Rainy, cloudy and nighttime conditions make this kind more difficult and create stress for the driver. With the arrival of winter, we'll all experience these driving conditions more frequently.

Don't compromise your safety with eyeglasses that don't provide the best possible vision on the road. ZEISS, a global leader in precision optics, recently teamed up with Mercedes Benz to unveil its new ZEISS DriveSafe lenses at a spectacular event at Berlin's historic Tempelhof Airport.

A select group of eye care professionals from around the world were flown to Germany to learn how DriveSafe lenses help wearers see better and feel safer in low-visibility driving conditions.

I was one of the professionals selected to attend. The event included an actual road test of the new lenses on a course that simulated the experience of driving in the rain, at night, and in other challenging conditions.

Developed in collaboration with auto industry experts, ZEISS DriveSafe lenses are designed to be worn all day, but to provide extra visual support while driving. This is accomplished through three key technologies
An innovative progressive lens design that allows for fast refocusing as the driver's vision shifts from the road ahead to the dashboard or rear- and side-view mirrors.
A breakthrough anti-reflective coating specially designed to reduce disturbing glare from today's Xenon and LED headlights
Luminance Design Technology, a new lens design approach for clearer, more natural vision at twilight and on cloudy days.

These key factors make ZEISS DriveSafe the only pair of glasses you'll need to make driving feel safer and to provide excellent all-day vision.

The benefits of ZEISS DriveSafe include
Better vision in low light conditions.
Reduced glare from oncoming car headlights and street lights.
Clearer viewing of the dashboard, rear-view and side mirrors, and the road ahead.
