ZEISS has developed an additional anti-reflective layer on the back of the lens, reducing the indirect light reflected into the eye and complementing the protection offered by ZEISS UVProtect Technology.
ZEISS does not only address the direct light protection up to 400 nm with the UVProtect, but also takes into account the indirect light coming from the back by applying UV back protection to all ZEISS DuraVision coatings |
