ZEISS DuraVision BlueProtect
Today’s kids are using technology more than ever, for fun and for school. But staring at mobile devices, computer and TV screens every day can take a serious toll on their eyes – and their overall health. Digital devices emit blue light, which helps us see digital screens clearly in the daytime. But consistent exposure – especially before bedtime – can disrupt your sleep patterns, having serious effects on school and work productivity. What’s more, is using these devices for long periods of time can cause digital eye strain – that’s the physical discomfort you might feel after spending two or more hours in front of a screen.
The good news is that precision optics company ZEISS makes premium lenses that can set kids up for success as they head back to school! ZEISS’s DuraVision BlueProtect lens coating filters the harmful wavelengths of blue light that come from the digital devices kids use every day, keeping their eyes healthy and comfortable so they can focus on learning. This industry-leading anti-reflective coating also offers superior toughness and against daily wear-and-tear, optimum cleanability, and performance that will last the length of the prescription. And kids aren’t the only ones who feel the effects of digital devices – for adults, ZEISS also offers Digital Lenses and ZEISS Precision Progressive lenses with Digital Inside Technology, both available with the state-of-the-art DuraVision BlueProtect coating.
So if you need help seeing better, there is a solution from ZEISS. Visit ZEISS.com/Lenses to learn more, and talk to your family’s eye doctor to find the best ZEISS lenses for you and your kids.
