Carl Zeiss Vision Unveils PhotoFusion
Carl Zeiss Vision launched a new, proprietary self-tinting lens: PhotoFusion by ZEISS, offering faster darkening and fade-back than any of their previous lines of self-tinting lenses.
On average, and depending on material, temperature and light conditions, PhotoFusion lenses clear up to twice as fast and darken up to 20% faster than previous self-tinting lenses offered by ZEISS. They are very clear indoors (92% transparency with antireflective coating) and very dark in sunlight (11% transparency with antireflective coating). PhotoFusion lenses provide 100% protection against UV rays up to 400 nm and excellent colour consistency for natural vision. They also retain their self-tinting ability for the life of the prescription (two years).
The innovative PhotoFusion technology is based on patented photoactive molecules that unfold when exposed to UV light, thus darkening the lens and providing UV protection. Combined with award-winning ZEISS lenses, this technology is a significant improvement on the basic principle of photochromic eyeglass lenses. PhotoFusion is currently available on all ZEISS, SOLA and AO customized lenses, including progressives and single vision, as well as GT2® by ZEISS and GT2® Short by ZEISS, with broader availability coming soon.
PhotoFusion lenses are distributed inCanadaby Carl Zeiss Vision and Centennial Optical.
