ZEISS Drive: For a clear and sunny road ahead.

The answer to every driver’s needs. This is the perfect choice for medium to high light intensity.

Safety and comfort with:

  • Over 99% polarisation efficiency 
  • Skylet® high contrast tint 
  • The ultimate daytime driving lens: ZEISS DriveSafe with SkyPol Road

Compared to traditional sunglass lenses, Skylet® sunglass lenses display higher transmission in the region in which the eye is particularly sensitive (V λ = 555 nm). With the same level of light reduction as other lenses, Skylet® therefore appears to be subjectively brighter to the wearer, but provides the same protection against glare.

Full eye protection and performance with:

  • Functional tints: for specific activities and for extreme light
  • A stylish look with the DuraVision® Mirror UV active colours
