ZEISS SmartLife Young lenses are specially crafted for young lens wearers to offer better optical performance compared to lenses designed with adults in mind.
A child’s anatomy changes constantly. Their eyes and faces have different proportions compared to adults. This – and their smaller frames – affect how lenses are positioned in front of the eyes. It can impact how well they’ll see.
ZEISS Dynamic AgeFit technology considers age-specific details of kids’ faces and frames – for every young wearer to enjoy spot-on vision.
ZEISS Luminance Design 2.0 technology adapts each SmartLife Young lens by considering the rapid increase in pupil diameter between ages 6 and 19.
Kids and teenagers spend a lot of time online these days and it’s important to support their busy eyes. They view their screens at different distances than adults – after all, their arms are shorter.
Teens might need glasses for sports or support for schoolwork. But their visual behaviour is also evolving along with their social habits.
ZEISS SmartView 2.0 technology matches children’s lenses to their age-related visual needs. They can focus on what matters at their stage of life.
ZEISS SmartLife Young lenses offer up to 60% wider fields of clear vision for kids’ smartphone distances compared to our single vision stock lenses which are designed with adults in mind.
Experience how ZEISS SmartLife Young lenses compare to conventional single vision glasses.
SmartLife Young lenses always come with full UV protection. If you’re looking for blue light glasses for your child – you have that option too.
You can also add durable coatings or even make them sunnies. Rest assured – these glasses can handle kid life.
Our eyes continue to change as we age. Thankfully, ZEISS SmartLife is not just available for children and teenagers. Our entire SmartLife portfolio includes Age Intelligence – so lens wearers can grow up and grow old with the best lenses ZEISS has to offer.
