ZEISS DuraVision Platinum
ZEISS Premium Anti-Reflective lenses
True clarity requires more than just conventional Anti-Reflective (AR) lenses – it requires the toughness to meet the challenges of daily life. ZEISS DuraVision Platinum lenses are designed to be tough, dirt-resistant lenses that are easy to clean and provide uncompromised clarity. What makes ZEISS DuraVision Platinum AR lenses different? ZEISS DuraVision Platinum has been designed using an integrated system of coating layers that have been densely packed using ion-assisted deposition and resulting in a lens surface that is three times tougher than the previous generation of ZEISS AR. No other AR coating offers better scratch protection.
ZEISS DuraVision Platinum AR lenses also have a more cosmetically pleasing, blue residual reflex color that reduces reflectance by over 20% compared to conventional green AR coated lenses.
1. Tough on Scratches
New ZEISS DuraVision Platinum AR lenses are three times harder than the previous generation of ZEISS anti-reflective (AR) lenses.

2. Tough on Dirt
Wiping a lens with a cloth creates static electricity, which attracts dust. DuraVision Platinum’s patented anti-static layer2 decreases the buildup of static electricity by over 90%, dramatically reducing dust on the lenses and keeping them clearer longer.

3. Tough on Smudges
DuraVision Platinum’s super-slick topcoat leads the pack in both oleophobic (oil-repelling) and super-hydrophobic (water-repelling) performance, making the lenses extraordinarily easy to clean. Droplets of water and oil literally make less contact with the lens, so it’s easier to wipe them off.

4. Anti-reflective properties
The true measure of AR clarity is luminous reflectance: the lower the reflectance, the greater the clarity. The unique blue reflex color of ZEISS DuraVision Platinum reduces luminous reflectance by over 20% compared to conventional green AR-coated lenses. The result is sharper vision, particularly in high-glare conditions like driving at night or working on a computer.

ZEISS DuraVision Silver
The moment less reflection lets people see the real you
DuraVision® Silver is part of the ZEISS DuraVision Premium coatings portfolio and provides outstanding anti-reflective properties with longer-lasting cleanability. Eyeglass wearers want both to enjoy clear and comfortable vision and to look good in their glasses, with nothing diverting attention away from their eyes.
Longer lasting cleanability
Leading super-hydrophobic technology keeps lenses cleaner up to 2x longer.DuraVision Silver lenses offer advanced super-hydrophobic and oleophobic technology from ZEISS. Combined with our state-of-the-art anti-static technology, DuraVision Silver lenses are easier to clean and stay clean longer.
Outstanding clarity
With less than 1% luminous reflectance, DuraVision Silver delivers crisper vision and is virtually free from distracting reflections. The DuraVision Silver arctic blue hue reduces up to 50% more reflections than other leading anti-reflective lenses, so your patients will see the world with extraordinary clarity and brilliance.
ZEISS DuraVision BlueProtect
The ZEISS Blue-Violet Light Blocking Solution
DuraVision® BlueProtect by ZEISS is a coating specially developed for people who spend a lot of their time indoors and are exposed to blue-violet light from LEDs as well as TV, computer or tablet screens.
ZEISS DuraVision BlueProtect offers protection from the harmful blue light from LED lights, digital devices, TV screens, and computers.
ZEISS DuraVision BlueProtect strongly filters blue light shorter than 440nm. This range is of particular concern to eye care professionals. Reducing the eye’s exposure to this type of blue light helps prevent retinal cell damage and phototoxicity.
ZEISS DuraVision BlueProtect reflects parts of the blue-violet light coming from those sources, hindering the light from entering the eye.
This ZEISS coating reduces the transmission in the spectrum of 380–455 nm (blue light hazard) while keeping the high transmission level above 460 nm.
Too much blue light can disrupt sleep.
Viewing digital devices at night can disrupt the brain’s production of melatonin, causing sleep disturbances and a dysfunction of the natural circadian rhythm.
Increased risk of macular degeneration.
The American Macular Degeneration Foundation warns that retinal damage caused by blue light may lead to macular degeneration. Evidence suggests that long-term exposure to blue light may contribute to photochemical damage of the retina (known as “blue light hazard”).
The two sides of blue-violet light:
Blue light regulates the circadian rhythm to ensure alertness in daytime and restful sleep at night. Too much blue light from artificial lights at night can interfere with sleep. ZEISS DuraVision BlueProtect filters the undesirable wavelengths emitted from artificial lights between 440nm and 465nm, while allowing the beneficial blue light through.
DuraVision® Sun
Our coating family has grown! ZEISS DuraVision Sun – the back-surface anti-reflective coating with water & oil repellent developed specially for sun lenses.
ZEISS DuraVision Sun is an anti-reflective coating applied on the back surface of the lens. It ensures outstanding clarity, durability and longer lasting cleanability.
With the hard coating and clean coat hydrophobic on the front, the lens is fully protected.
Easy care with our super clean coat
Water-repellent, anti-static, anti-smudge properties on every surface of the lens.
Additional products from the DuraVision Family like DuraVision Platinum can be applied to tinted lenses as well.
DuraVision® Mirror
Our coating family has grown! ZEISS DuraVision Mirror, the front-surface coating in eight different mirror colors.
A mirror can be applied on the front of the lens for the latest fashion statement or to further customize tinted lenses. All tinted lenses with ZEISS DuraVision Mirrors come standard with an anti-reflective back coating for uncompromised clarity, durability and easy care.
Available for all materials and lens shapes.
