ZEISS AdaptiveSun: Smart sunglasses lenses for customers that prefer a convenient, fashionable lifestyle.

Sunglasses provide UV protection, glare reduction and comfortable vision. But even when wearing them, customers often struggle to see clearly because of constantly changing light conditions. The lenses can either be too dark in shady areas or too light in bright sunlight. We then tend to take them off, leaving our eyes unprotected.

ZEISS AdaptiveSun Solutions are sun lenses designed to automatically adjust their colour intensity depending on UV exposure while maintaining:

  • full UV  protection  and
  • glare protection.
ZEISS AdaptiveSun: Smart sunglass lenses for a convenient, fashionable lifestyle.

Smart sunglasses lenses that adapt to changing light.

ZEISS AdaptiveSun is our latest innovation in sunglasses lenses, expanding the ZEISS Outdoor Lens Portfolio.  Let your customers choose from four fashionable colours in solid or gradient tints that provide protection in medium to high light intensity levels:

  • Brown
  • Grey
  • Pioneer
  • Blue

AdaptiveSun  is also available with polarisation for extreme light conditions, providing even better glare reduction and therefore clarity of vision and higher visual performance.
