Is it harder to drive wearing multifocal glasses?
While driving, we’re constantly focusing on different distances. One moment we’re watching the road, the next we’re looking at the dashboard, the navigation system, or the mirrors. This can be particularly challenging when our eyes’ ability to adjust has already diminished and we need to correct our vision for multiple distances.
With multifocal lenses, therefore, it is not just important to have zones for distance, intermediate, and near vision. It is also important that:
- how wide the usable fields of view are,
- how natural the shift in focus is,
- how the different visual zones are arranged,
- and how well the lens fits the wearer.
DriveSafe Progressive Design
Designed to strike a balance between everyday life and driving
In the design of ZEISS DriveSafe progressive lenses, special attention is given to the visual situations that commonly arise while driving.
For example:
- monitoring the distant section of the road,
- the use of the intermediate range,
- a quick glance at the dashboard,
- as well as switching between different focal lengths.
The goal is not to create glasses designed exclusively for driving, but rather a multifocal solution that can be worn comfortably throughout the rest of the day.
ZEISS Luminance Design Technology
Different light, different vantage point
Our vision does not function the same way during the day as it does at night. In low-light conditions, the pupil dilates, and this can also affect the quality of our vision.
ZEISS DriveSafe lenses are designed to account for changing lighting conditions, ensuring that they perform well not only in ideal daytime conditions.
This may be particularly important:
- at dusk,
- when driving at night,
- in the rain,
- in the fog,
- with fluctuating street lighting.
DuraVision DriveSafe Coating
Fewer distracting reflections
When driving at night, oncoming headlights, streetlights, and other light sources can be particularly distracting.
The ZEISS DuraVision DriveSafe coating is designed to reduce annoying reflections and improve visual comfort.
In addition, the special surface treatment:
- reduces glare,
- makes the lens more scratch-resistant,
- makes it easier to clean,
- makes it more durable for everyday use.
Making glasses begins with a precise eye examination
With multifocal glasses, it’s not just the diopter that matters
With progressive eyeglass lenses, customization is particularly important. There can be significant differences even between two multifocal lenses with the same diopter:
- in terms of the width of the fields of view,
- in the location of the zones,
- in the degree of distortion,
- in terms of customization,
- in the manufacturing technology used,
- and in centering accuracy.
That is why, when it comes to multifocal glasses, it is not a good idea to compare prices alone.
In the case of ZEISS lenses, the state-of-the-art FreeForm manufacturing technology enables the lens’s optical surface to be manufactured with high precision. The goal is for the finished glasses to not only be suitable on paper but also comfortable during everyday use.
An accurate eye exam is especially important here
When designing a multifocal lens, the accuracy of the examination is essential. That’s why at Rapidus Optika, we not only determine the required diopter strength but also discuss your visual habits.
For example, the following may be important:
- how much you drive,
- How often do you drive at night,
- How much time do you spend working in front of a monitor,
- At what distances do you look the most,
- What kind of glasses did you use before,
- Have you ever had multifocal glasses?
The question isn’t just how much the lens costs, but also how it’s made, what data it’s based on, and how well it suits you.
