One company that has been prevalent throughout that time is Zeiss. In the ophthalmologist’s offices we always used Zeiss optics. Zeiss has added some great, easy to understand, educational tools to their website. These tools explain everything from when you and your children should have eye exams, to the differences between optometrists and ophthalmologists and what an optician does. There is a great section on questions to ask your eye doctor at your next exam and lots of information on age related vision changes.

I am overdue for new glasses and since I now wear progressive lenses this is a very expensive proposition. While I was checking out the Zeiss educational tools, I learned a lot about the Zeiss Individual® which is the first progressive lens to integrate how your frames, face and prescription work together for a one-of-a-kind lens that is precisely personalized for the wearer.  ZEISS technology is used to create these customized progressive lenses, which are clinically proven to be preferred by consumers over conventional progressive lenses to improve their vision and quality of eyesight. My current eye care provider doesn’t offer this technology so I will be visiting a Zeiss Individual certified provider on my next visit.

Take some time and check out the educational tools so that you can be a more informed patient and consumer.
