Varifocal Excellence – Zeiss SmartLife Individual 3 

If you wear varifocals, comfort and clarity are everything. Our premium choice is the Zeiss SmartLife Individual Varifocal – the most advanced in the Zeiss range.

  • Smoother transitions: It offers seamless movement between near, intermediate, and distance vision, with minimal distortion.

  • Truly bespoke: While standard varifocals use just two measurements, SmartLife Individual uses seven, taken from your face and frames, for a perfect fit.

  • Fast adaptation: In a 2019 Aston University study, 80% of wearers adapted within just one day – ideal if you have sensitive eyes or want to skip the usual “settling-in” period.

(Available in up to 55% thinner lenses).
