ZEISS has launched a complete Kids Portfolio of spectacle lenses to meet the changing vision needs of children as they grow older.
The portfolio comprises:
• ZEISS SmartLife Young lenses, which are perfectly matched to young people’s digital, active, and educational lifestyles, as well as their age-related anatomical requirements, and
• ZEISS MyoCare lenses, age-related myopia management lenses that incorporate cylindrical microstructures to achieve simultaneous competing myopic defocus and a clear zone to optimise central vision.
optics are optimised based on age-appropriate standard position of wear parameters for every age between six and 19 years
Optimising Development
To gain the full benefits of paediatric vision correction, ZEISS uses a dynamic near object model that considers, for example, a child’s near object distance for handheld devices which shifts from 20-30 cm depending on age.
Additionally, noting that a child’s pupil diameter will increase until the age of 20, with significant changes from one to 19 years, ZEISS uses Luminance Design Technology 2.0 to take the wearer’s age-related pupil size into account.
Finally, ZEISS Dynamic AgeFit technology ensures optics are optimised based on age-appropriate standard position of wear parameters for every age between six and 19 years.
ZEISS SmartLife Young lenses are recommended for children and young adults aged six to 19 years.
For myopia management, the options are ZEISS MyoCare lenses, recommended for children younger than 10 years; and ZEISS MyoCare S lenses, recommended for children 10 years and older.
