ZEISS SmartLife Young lenses are specially crafted for young lens wearers to offer better optical performance compared to lenses designed with adults in mind. Simply our best all-day lenses for kids and teens. For developing eyes. For modern life.
“We have adapted the ZEISS SmartView 2.0 technology, on which all ZEISS SmartLife lenses are based, so that it is suitable for children and young people. When looking at a smartphone, for example, a child naturally holds it at a completely different reading distance than an adult.6 The proportions of the face also differ significantly. Factors such as this have to feature in the design of modern lenses.”
Made for changing faces
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.
Made for evolving eyes
ZEISS Luminance Design 2.0 technology adapts each SmartLife Young lens by considering the rapid increase in pupil diameter between ages 6 and 19.
Made for digital lifestyles.
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.
UV protection, blue light protection, and robustness for children's lenses. All ZEISS SmartLife lenses come with full UV protection thanks to ZEISS UVProtect technology.
“Of course, UV protection is even more important for children because, although they spend a lot of time in front of screens, they also like to be outside,”
Moreover, the lenses can be ordered with ZEISS BlueGuard material that will block up to 40 percent of the potentially harmful blue light. A special ZEISS DuraVision Kids coating also adds three times more scratch resistance than standard hard-coated ZEISS lenses. The thin, lightweight look of the lens is another important criterion especially for older kids who choose their own lenses.
