Sunglass-level UV protection in all clear ZEISS lenses.

ZEISS Lenses with UVProtect Technology

UV radiation is always present. All year round, all day, in winter and summer, in sunny and even overcast conditions. Prolonged UV exposure poses some serious health risks.

Most of us know that UV rays can damage the skin, but many are unaware that UV exposure can also be harmful to the eyes and surrounding tissue.

To protect our skin, we typically wear sunscreen, but we really don’t have a lot of options when it comes to protecting our eyes against harmful UV rays. While sunglasses provide excellent protection, studies show that only one person in four consistently wears sunglasses when outdoors. And most clear lenses only offer partial UV protection.

Today, we are elevating the standard of care by offering sunglass-level UV protection in all clear ZEISS lenses. That’s full UV protection up to 400nm, the level recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and provided right here at Spex Expressions. 

ZEISS UVProtect Technology

All clear ZEISS lenses now provide full protection against UV rays up to 400nm, going well beyond the current industry standard of 380nm. And while the “gap” between 380 and 400 nanometers may not sound like much, it does in fact account for 40% of total solar UV radiation that reaches our eyes and eyelids.

Eye health is too important to risk.

Prolonged exposure to UV rays is not just harmful to the skin, but also to the eyes. Over time it can cause various forms of eye disease and accelerated aging of the tissue surrounding the eyes.
