ZEISS AntiVirus Lenses
GALAXY by Optometrist
The global COVID-19 pandemic has drastically influenced our awareness of viruses and their consequences. We’re more focused on the presence of germs and how they spread than we’ve ever been before.
With this increased awareness, you may have heard of the term “high-touch items”. These include things we touch on a regular basis that can impact our general hygiene. Spectacle lenses are high-touch items that can potentially have viruses and bacteria on the surface. To answer this problem, ZEISS has designed an antimicrobial coating called ZEISS DuraVision AntiVirus Platinum UV which kills 99,9% of viruses and bacteria1.
Better spectacle lens hygiene
This antiviral and antibacterial coating actively fights and kills 99.9% of potentially harmful viruses and bacteria on the surface of the lens, helping to improve spectacle lens hygiene.
More Protection
ZEISS lenses with ZEISS AntiVirus coating allows full UV protection up to 400nm.
Good-Looking. Tough. Easy to Clean
This anti virus coating feature low reflectance and less visible blue residual reflex which ZEISS is known for. It is also optimized for high scratch resistance and easy to clean due to the anti smudge glasses
Technology behind
ZEISS Duravision AntiVirus Platinum UV
We’ve developed technology that transfers antimicrobial silver into an anti-reflective coating layer that can be applied to the surface of a spectacle lens. This “layer of trust” is carefully engineered to deliver a product that is safe to use, effectively killing and deactivating viruses and bacteria
1. Use of silver as antimicrobial agent
The healing properties of silver have been known for centuries and are well established in science and medicine. ZEISS developed technology to incorporate this proven approach as another feature of the premium anti-reflective coating so that viruses and bacteria that land on the lens surface are killed and inactivated.
2. Vacuum deposition and material science
Through a special vacuum coating process, silver is deposited on the surface of the lens at high temperatures. ZEISS DuraVision AntiVirus Platinum UV contains embedded antimicrobial silver within the coating structure. The silver within the coating releases silver ions (Ag+). These silver ions (Ag+) deliver proven antiviral and antibacterial interaction on the lens surface.
