  1. there is significantly downward shifted gaze
  2. central and peripheral vision to navigate, and additional downward eye rotation is necessary while using connected devices on-the-move
  3. constant attention to connected devices leads to new patterns of body posture and eye movements

adaptation and transition into progressive lens vision.

Below is an introduction to Zeiss SmartLife Lens portfolio which includes 1) SmartLife Single Vision, 2) SmartLife Digital lens and 3) SmartLife Progressive Lens

 

1) SmartLife Single Vision Lenses

Normal single vision lenses are usually
 optimised for one distance only – mainly 
for far vision. The lower part of the lens 
is not optimised for near distances.

SmartLife single vision lenses achieve clearer vision by reducing oblique astigmatism errors throughout the lens

ZEISS SmartLife Single Vision Lenses are optimised for sharp
 vision at all distances, especially when the gaze is lowered while
 focusing on near objects. This optimisation results in an improved 
optical performance and up to 88% larger clear fields of view.

Benefits

  • The next generation of ZEISS Single Vision Lenses with improved optical performance and
 up to 88% larger clear fields of view
  • 94% perceived wide fields of comfortable vision for intermediate and near tasks

 

2) SmartLife Digital Lenses

ZEISS SmartLife Digital Lenses are designed for more accurate and comfortable vision at near distances for
 your connected and on-the-move lifestyle.

The lens is designed for more natural head and body posture 
while reading, and can help to alleviate tired eyes or near vision discomfort.
 The design is geared towards ZEISS SmartLife Progressive Lenses for a more natural transition into later 
progressive lens vision.

This means you will have an easier time when you start wearing progressive lenses later on when your reading power increases.
