Driving can be a challenge.

No matter how far the distance, good vision is vital for safety as well as comfort. However, driving in certain circumstances can be challenging to anyone.

Main visual challenges when driving.

Many people feel insecure, uncomfortable and stressed when driving. In market research studies with consumers, Zeiss identified the three most demanding visual challenges when driving.

  • Poor visibility in low-light conditions such as rain, dusk or at night
  • Glare from oncoming cars at night and dazzle from wet roads
  • Difficulty in refocusing when the eyes alternate between the road ahead and dashbo

With ZEISS DriveSafe Lenses, ZEISS has introduced a driving lens product category for everyday use.

It is specifically designed to meet the vision needs of people who want to feel safer and more comfortable when driving with their everyday lenses.

ZEISS DriveSafe Lenses offer strong patient benefits.

Better vision in low-light conditions for safer and more comfortable driving due to ZEISS Luminance DesignTM Technology (LDT), which takes into account different light conditions and pupil sizes for natural vision at all time.

Reduced glare at night from oncoming cars or streetlights with the help DuraVision DriveSafe Coating. It partially reflects the wavelengths responsible for reduced vision, discomfort and irritation, resulting in less perceived glare up to 64%
