By providing ZEISS ClearView FSV Lenses, you deliver the complete advantages of freeform optimization while maintaining the exact pricing structure and turnaround speed of standard stock lenses.
Every point on this complex surface is individually optimised. The resulting FSV lens is slim and flat, yet still delivers excellent optical quality, with sharp vision from the centre of the lens all the way to the edges.
UVProtect Technology from ZEISS comes built into the lens material of every ZEISS ClearView FSV lens, with no extra step needed.
Despite offering affordability and rapid availability that make finished single-vision (FSV) “stock” lenses the most widely purchased worldwide, traditional FSV options lack a key feature desired by users: they often fail to deliver sharp optics outside the central optical zone. Specifically, the market shift toward thinner, flatter FSV designs has negatively impacted peripheral visual clarity.
While buyers look for optimal visual comfort and sharpness, conventional stock lenses often sacrifice optical integrity. ZEISS seized the opportunity to elevate traditional finished single-vision (FSV) lens structures by developing advanced techniques to assess optical fidelity and refine optimization processes.
Utilizing ZEISS ClearView FSV Lenses allows wearers to enjoy exceptional visual sharpness extending straight from the center out to the edges. This is achieved in a profile that remains sleek, flat, and visually appealing, bypassing the need for the steeper base curves traditionally required by standard lenses to maintain acceptable optical quality.
Blind testing trials involving single-vision users confirm that ZEISS ClearView FSV Lenses outperform traditional FSV options.
Participants who reported a positive or highly favorable first impression upon trying ZEISS ClearView FSV.
Trial participants who favored the visual clarity of ZEISS ClearView FSV over ZEISS AS FSV after one week of use.
Wearers who indicated agreement or strong agreement regarding sustained, all-day visual comfort with ZEISS ClearView.
This share of wearers agreed or strongly agreed that ZEISS ClearView delivers sharp vision throughout the whole lens, covering near, intermediate and distance ranges.
Sophisticated mathematical modeling programs are employed to compute the necessary mold specifications.
Intricate freeform shapes are cut directly into the molds using high-precision computer numerical control (CNC) systems.
Using industrial-grade metrology tools, finished molds are verified for accuracy through a ZEISS coordinate measuring machine (CMM) that evaluates more than 1,500 distinct points across each mold surface.
Front and back mold sets undergo custom optimization to deliver complex freeform optical properties across all prescription levels. Furthermore, 2D Data Matrix Codes (DMC) are utilized during production to meticulously trace molds and lenses as part of an automated Industry 4.0 workflow.
Ultimately, completed lenses are evaluated using CMM against the ZEISS Vision Clarity Simulation to verify that the final product fulfills its optical guarantees.
