Zeiss Engineers New Technology for Progressive Eyeglass Lenses
Improved Progressive Lens Design from Zeiss
Engineered for visual satisfaction. GT2™ progressive lenses by ZEISS have been carefully engineered around the visual and physiological requirements of the wearer using the proven total aberration control of ZEISS Optical Optimization & Management. This process maximizes both the physiological and optical interaction of the lens design with the visual system of the wearer to ensure the most natural, satisfying viewing experience possible. (Excerpt from www.vision.zeiss.com)
Key features and benefits of the GT2™ include the following:
- Wide, clear distance with good peripheral vision
- Ergonomically designed near zone for easier and more comfortable reading
- Small fitting height allowing for use in smaller frames
- Control of optical aberrations eliminating much of the distortion in the peripheral lens
Improved Comfort for CIBA VISION® Night & Day® Contact Lenses
“Something new is in the AIR”, according to CIBA Vision®. The company has rolled out a whole new line of contact lenses as either completely new designs or marked improvements on previous designs. The most recent addition includes the Air Optix™ NIGHT & DAY® Aqua, which will enter the market on March 16th this year. The company asserts that “not only does Air Optix™ NIGHT & DAY® Aqua have the highest oxygen transmissibility of any available soft contact lens, this innovative lens also offers significant insertion comfort and handling upgrades, with no re-fit required.”
These improvements include greater comfort (patients preferred the new design more than 2 to 1 over the original NIGHT & DAY lens) and ease of insertion with an added visibility tint and inversion indicator. It is the added AQUA Moisture System that improves the comfort of the lenses day after day, even when worn overnight.
