Lens File: Hi-tech specialist driving lenses

Many people feel insecure, and even stressed when driving, especially in difficult light and weather conditions, such as rain, twilight or night.1 On average, 83% of spectacle lens wearers drive, and of those, 72% are interested in an everyday lens solution specialised for driving.1

Zeiss DriveSafe lenses have been developed to address the three most common issues experienced by drivers who wear single vision and progressive addition lenses;

• Poor visibility in low light conditions

• Glare from oncoming cars

• Difficulty switching focus between the road, dashboard and mirrors

Zeiss Luminance Design Technology

A disproportionate number of fatal road accidents occur after dark2,3 and low luminance plays a major role in road traffic injuries.2 In low light, or mesopic conditions, visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and depth perception are reduced.2 Additionally, off-axis aberrations of single vision and progressive addition lenses interact with the enlarged mesopic pupil size to diminish retinal image quality further.
