Upgrade your lenses with ZEISS DuraVision Gold UV, featuring advanced blue light filtering to help reduce digital eye strain while adding a subtle golden finish. Enjoy enhanced visual comfort, reduced reflections, and a clearer, more comfortable viewing experience.
Redefining excellence in coating technology
People who wear glasses want clear vision every day, for as long as their lenses last. That means lenses that resist scratches and smudges and are simple to keep clean.
DuraVision Gold UV is built for exactly that. Its CleanGuard technology repels smudges and dirt so lenses wipe clean faster, and its distinctive golden tint adds a fashionable finish.
Up to 3x faster cleaning
Lenses clean up to three times faster than with earlier ZEISS coatings.
91% of consumers agree
They found CleanGuard lenses more smudge-resistant than the previous generation.
Bayer ratio of 16
An average score well above the industry benchmark for scratch resistance.
How DuraVision® Gold UV elevates lenses.
Effortless care
Lasting durability
Sharper vision
Fashion-forward looks
Quick and easy to clean
CleanGuard makes lenses water-repellent, oil-repellent and anti-static all at once. The result is lenses that stay cleaner and take up to three times less effort to wipe down.
Better smudge resistance
Fingerprints and skin oils bead up instead of spreading, thanks to a higher contact angle. Smudges are less noticeable and easier to wipe away, so lenses stay clear throughout the day.
More water-repellent
Water rolls off the lens instead of clinging to it, leaving fewer streaks and spots. Lenses dry faster and stay clearer in wet weather.
Less dust and dirt
The anti-static effect reduces the pull of dust and lint, so less debris sticks to the surface. Lenses stay cleaner for longer and need less wiping.
Exceptional durability
Drawing on more than 90 years of coating experience, DuraVision Gold UV is our most scratch-resistant coating yet. A heat-cured hard coat provides a stable base for the anti-reflective layers. Ion bombardment then improves adhesion, and ultra-thin layers of metal and ceramic oxides are built up into a dense, tough structure.
The coating averages 16 on the Bayer scale, the industry test for scratch resistance, where anything above 10 is considered very high.
Crystal-clear clarity
Between dusk and night, the eye becomes more sensitive to shorter wavelengths. DuraVision Gold UV cuts residual reflections in these low-light conditions, so more light passes through and vision is clearer.
Although the coating has a golden reflection, the lens itself looks up to six times less yellow, giving a more natural, colour-neutral view. It also significantly reduces blue-light reflections in the 380–500 nm range compared with DuraVision Chrome UV.
Designed for today's frames and fashions
The soft golden tone pairs well with popular frames in gold, brown and black, and many wearers find it flatters their hair and skin tone. On clear or tinted lenses, DuraVision Gold UV combines high performance with a modern look that patients will enjoy wearing.
