ClearMind lenses

See clearly. Think clearly.

Need glasses to see clearly up close or far away?

Does your mind feel drained? Eyes feel strained?

Want lenses that provide excellent clarity and help enhance your overall well-being?

Open your mind to extremely clear vision.

About 80% of all the sensory input you receive comes through your eyes. This makes clear vision important for living in our fast-paced, information-packed world. To keep up with these seemingly endless demands, your eyes and mind work hand-in-hand. Our understanding of this intricate connection drove the development of our most sophisticated lens to date – ZEISS ClearMind.

ZEISS Single Vision ClearMind lenses pair groundbreaking neuroscientific findings with insights into how people see in their everyday lives. Whether you need them to see near or far, these lenses are designed to provide sharp sight EXACTLY where you need it.

The first of its kind.

ZEISS ClearMind is the first ZEISS lens design based on a global breakthrough in neuroscience: How clearly you see is directly related to how hard your brain works to process that visual input.

These lenses provide crisp, clear eyesight, which is scientifically proven to help reduce the cognitive load.1 They’ll help change how you SEE the world – AND how you FEEL.

Clarity when it matters most.

Clarity when it matters most.

When vision is blurred, the eyes transmit incomplete information to the brain. This forces the brain to work harder to fill in the gaps, which increases the cognitive load.1

We mapped how people’s eyes behaved during everyday activities like social interactions, gardening and driving, as well as near vision tasks like reading and screen time. This helped us understand when clear vision is most important.

Our research provided the basis for ZEISS NeurOptix: the technology at the heart of ZEISS ClearMind lenses.

This innovative technology informs how people actually use their eyes in everyday life. ZEISS NeurOptix helps people see clearly in the situations and moments when their minds need it most – all day, every day.

A breakthrough in optical innovation.

At ZEISS, we know that there’s more to vision than meets the eye. It isn’t just optical, it’s also neural.

We took a deep look at how people’s brains and eyes are connected. Our pioneering ZEISS NeurOptix technology uses these findings to shape the design of ZEISS ClearMind lenses.  

ZEISS NeurOptix technology is built on how people use their eyes throughout the day. Our researchers analysed where the gaze travels, which parts of the lens are used most frequently, how long eyes stay in certain areas, and how tasks shift between objects at different distances.

These insights help pinpoint the exact locations on the lens where people need clear vision for everyday tasks.

Incorporating ZEISS’s extensive optical expertise and an understanding of how different types of blur impact the cognitive load, ZEISS NeurOptix technology helps optimise the clarity in the areas most used and eliminate noticeable blur in ZEISS Single Vision ClearMind lenses.

The unique technology intelligence of ZEISS NeurOptix is what allows ZEISS ClearMind to provide clarity where you need it while promoting a reduction in the cognitive load.1

This can help your mind focus more easily and concentrate better – which can improve your overall feeling of well-being.3

Any questions?

  • Single vision lenses are prescription glasses for people who are either nearsighted (myopia) or farsighted (hyperopia). Other than digital or progressive lenses, which support your vision at multiple distances, single vision lenses help you see clearly either up close or far away.

  • Is your vision blurred when looking either near OR far? If so, then single vision lenses might be right for you. Many young adults wear single vision lenses in their all-day prescription glasses. People with maturing eyes often use these lenses for reading or other near work tasks. The best approach to good vision is to ask your eye care professional. Your optician can perform a comprehensive eye exam and tell you which solution will clear up your vision, whether single vision or another type of lens.

  • Yes, you can wear ZEISS Single Vision ClearMind lenses all day long. In fact, they’re our most sophisticated vision solution. We designed them based on the eye’s natural visual behaviour patterns during everyday life. This helps provide extremely clear vision, even in a world full of demands on our eyes. Also, we craft our lenses to be very thin and light. They’ll look great AND sit comfortably on your face without adding much weight.
