Carl
Zeiss Vision has extended its offering of direct-surface
customized lenses by adding SOLA Compact ULTRA™ HD in 1.67 clear
and Transitions® Gray. In total, Carl Zeiss Vision offers one of the most complete lines
of branded, customized lens designs, including ZEISS Individual,
SOLAOne™ HD, Compact ULTRA HD and AO Easy HD, to satisfy the full
range of patient and practice needs.
An
advanced short-corridor progressive lens design, Compact ULTRA
features a low 13mm minimum fitting height that allows progressive
wearers to select from a wider variety of smaller, fashionable
frames. This fitting
height is made possible by a revolutionary corridor design that
delivers unsurpassed reading area at all fitting heights. The
Compact ULTRA design also offers excellent binocularity, low skew
distortion, and peak astigmatism that is lower than many leading
short-corridor progressive lenses.
Compact
ULTRA HD offers the benefits of semi-finished Compact ULTRA, but
uses direct surfacing and a sophisticated design approach to
customize the lens surface for all aspects of the individual
patient’s prescription. “The
HD customization approach assures that each wearer gets the best
possible vision from his or her lenses,” said Steve Mitrakos, Carl
Zeiss Vision’s Vice President, Marketing and Strategy.
“Eye care professionals can be confident that Compact ULTRA
HD will give patients the best realization of the lens design: the
largest possible areas of clear vision with the lowest levels of
unwanted astigmatism.”
Compact
ULTRA HD is available in 1.67 clear and Transitions®
Gray lenses, and includes premium AR coating.
Carl
Zeiss Vision has recently expanded Compact ULTRA’s semi-finished
material availability to include Transitions Brown in Hard Resin and
Polycarbonate. Compact
ULTRA is also available semi-finished in clear and Transitions Gray
in 1.67, Polycarbonate and Hard Resin.
Carl
Zeiss Vision is a private company held jointly by Carl Zeiss AG and
EQT III fund (“EQT”), headquartered in Aalen, Germany, with
North American headquarters in San Diego, CA.
Through its ZEISS, SOLA, Teflon® Clear Coat
Lenses and American Optical brands, Carl Zeiss Vision works
continually to deliver a superior visual experience to wearers and
growth to the optical industry.
