ZEISS AdaptiveSun Solutions
Smart sunglass lenses by ZEISS that adapt to changing light.
ZEISS AdaptiveSun Solutions is our latest innovation in sunglass lenses, expanding the ZEISS outdoor lens portfolio. ZEISS scientists and engineers have applied technology based on photochromic properties, enabling the intelligent adaptation of the lens tone depending on the level of exposure to UV radiation. The versatile photochromic technology builds on the ZEISS PhotoFusion Technology, ensuring that clear and comfortable vision is always delivered during changing light conditions. This means that the sunglass lenses automatically adapt their colour intensity ranging from very dark in bright sunlight to a moderate dark shade in lower levels of sunlight exposure.
On top of that, it also delivers full UV protection and for extreme light and glare protection, ZEISS AdaptiveSun Polarized was added to the portfolio.
ZEISS AdaptiveSun.
Smart sunglass lenses for more convenience.
Derived from ZEISS PhotoFusion, the new ZEISS AdaptiveSun Lens Technology unites the performance attributes your patients expect: of adapting sunglass lenses they turn from dark to darker fast and stay colour consistent. This way you can ensure convenience, clear and comfortable vision.

Fast
ZEISS AdaptiveSun sunglass lenses adapt to changing light fast – for more convenience.
- Darkens in 18–35 seconds1.

Dark and darker
ZEISS AdaptiveSun sunglass lenses become very dark outside in sunlight – for optimum vision at all times.
- Sunglass lenses absorb up to 60 % of light in shade.
- In bright, sunny conditions, the sunglass lenses are "activated", and absorb up to 97 % of light.

Colour consistency
ZEISS AdaptiveSun sunglass lenses demonstrate excellent colour consistency – for natural sight.
