ZEISS prescription sunglasses

Tinted lenses for fashion, function & fun.

Don’t want to choose between good protection and clear vision outside?
Want to see better with your favourite pair of sunnies?
Need special sunglasses for a specific outdoor activity?

Relax. We make sunglass lenses, too.

From classic colours to light-responsive sunglasses or polarised lenses for sportier types, we offer countless options for you to enjoy better vision, comfort and protection outdoors. Create your signature prescription sunglasses with ZEISS.

Vision correction meets sun protection.

Go beyond fashion and add some function to your sunnies. Experience ZEISS precision with optics tailored to your outdoor activities – in a colour and style that you love. Full UV protection goes without saying, of course.

From classy to crazy.

Solid and gradient tints galore.

From pastel gradients to bold colours, from the boulevard to the beach – protect your eyes in a colour you love with more than 50 on-trend options.
If you want an exact match to your original lenses, we can even tint-to-sample. We’ll enhance the way you see without changing the look of your designer pair.

Self-tinting shades.

From dark to darker - all by itself.

Sometimes sunglasses can be too dark in the shade or too light in the bright sun. What if they were smart enough to change with the light around them? ZEISS AdaptiveSun lenses use photochromic technology to adapt to different light intensities – fast. They change from dark to very dark or back again in as little as 15 seconds.²
Get clever protection and vision correction in a range of solid and gradient colours. You can also add polarisation to combat harsh glare and see the world in high definition.

Mirrors and more.

Add a layer of wow with sunglass coatings.

If you’re looking to enhance your vision or add a little extra glam, DuraVision Mirror and Flash Mirror coatings can be added on top of your tint.
Add water-repellent, anti-static and anti-smudge properties with DuraVision Sun – specially developed to supercharge your sunglass lenses. They’ll look newer for longer and be easy to clean.

Polarised perfection.

Polarised glasses contain a special filter to block out intense glare from shiny surfaces such as roads, water, snow, and ice. This makes them especially beneficial for outdoor activities such as fishing, skiing, and driving. With enhanced contrast and colour perception, you’ll see super clearly and be protected from dangerous UV rays.

Functional tints to up your game.

Your eye care professional might recommend a specifically-designed functional tint to aid your eyes during specific outdoor activities. Let’s look at some examples:

Purple tints like our Sweet Violet help define contours, enhance color perception and work well in changing light conditions. They could be useful for mountain biking in the forest, but not on bright, sunny days.

ZEISS Sweet Violet purple colour tint for mountain biking.

Our Sunset Violet tint highlights orange and dampens green. It could be helpful to spot your target when shooting against a green background.

ZEISS Sunset violet pink-ish colour tint for hunting.

Mirrors to make you shine.

More than just looking cool, mirrored lenses can also reduce harsh glare, which makes them a great choice for the extreme outdoors. Add one of these for improved performance and style.

Hi-tech sports eyewear.

We’re up for the challenge.

Creating a wrapped lens presents a unique challenge. It should be as thin as possible – all the way to the edges – while effectively correcting your vision. With ZEISS Cosmetic Edge^® technology, we are able to manufacture flat lenses with optimum vision correction, even with large lenses in highly wrapped frames. Thanks to this innovation, the edge thickness of the lens can be reduced by up to 30% for optimal vision and comfortable wear.¹

Let’s recap.

Colour is covered.

But what else should you consider?

Take all these lens ingredients into account to get the most out of your prescription sunglasses.

Your eyes

Just like our clear lenses, ZEISS prescription sunglass lenses are available for your focal type and vision needs. Your optometrist should confirm your prescription.

Your lifestyle

Get sunglasses that look great AND optics tailored to your lifestyle and activities as well. Choose a lens design like ZEISS SmartLife or ZEISS DriveSafe and add the sunglass tint and coatings of your choice.

Your face & frame

Did you know your face and frame can play a role in how well you see? Your ZEISS optical provider can fine-tune your lenses based on how they’re positioned in front of your eyes – for even better vision and outstanding comfort.

Eye protection

Our sunglasses offer full UV protection up to 400nm. Did you know that our clear lenses do the same?

Thickness & weight

In addition to great colours and mirror coatings, ZEISS sunglass lenses come in a wide range of material indices to ensure they’re as thin and light as possible. Avoid pressure marks on your nose or glasses that slip off your face – ask your optometrist about your options.

Durability & care

Make your sunglass lenses durable, scratch-resistant and easier to clean with ZEISS DuraVision Sun – our special coating for sunglasses. If you’re also in the market for a clear pair of glasses, have a look at the rest of our DuraVision^® coating family.

We don’t like to brag, but it might be ZEISS! Our prescription sunglass lenses are made with the same great lens designs that we use in our top-quality clear lenses. Get excellent optics, outstanding comfort and full UV protection with a huge range of tints and looks to choose from. With ZEISS prescription sunglasses, you won’t have to compromise clear vision for good looks.
Good prescription sunglasses should reduce glare and provide full UV protection up to 400 nm – the standard set by the World Health Organisation. They should help you see clearly with optics that are optimised for your outdoor activities. They should be thin and light, durable and easy to clean. Last but not least – they should come in the colour and style you want.
ZEISS has an array of options that suit your lifestyle, not just your style. Combine colours, coatings and excellent optics to create signature sunnies for your outdoor needs.
The mirror effect on sunglasses is applied through a special lens coating. It consists of thin metal layers which add extra glare protection in addition to a very cool look. They help to bounce light away to keep it from reflecting into your eyes. Polarised mirror sunglasses are great for sports in which athletes are challenged by a lot of glare, like skiing, cycling, motorsports and almost all water sports.
