Q: Why choose ZEISS lenses at Parker & Co?
A: Because we care about every detail of your vision. Our partnership with ZEISS means you get lenses that combine science, style, and everyday comfort - not just something you look through, but something that truly enhances your daily life.
Below, we’ve broken down the key lens types we offer - and why we choose specific ZEISS designs in each category.
Single vision lenses are designed for one focal range - distance, intermediate or near. Near lenses are typically set around 40cm, while intermediate lenses sit between 80–100cm, depending on your needs. Your Optometrist determines the exact prescription.
They’re ideal if:
• You only need help seeing far away or close up
• You’re under 40 and don’t yet need reading support
• You prefer a simple, affordable option
Think of them as one job, done beautifully.
ZEISS ClearView lenses elevate what single vision can be.
• Aspheric design - naturally thinner and flatter, especially beneficial for higher prescriptions
• Digitally surfaced – engineered with up to 400 micro-optimised points of clarity across the lens
• Consistent clarity across more of the surface – unlike traditional single vision lenses that have one central sweet spot
The result? Clear, comfortable vision across more of the lens, not just straight ahead.
These lenses look like single vision, but with a subtle boost at the bottom to support near tasks. The top remains your full distance prescription.
They’re great if:
• Your eyes feel tired by the end of the day
• You get headaches from screen use
• You’re starting to notice near strain (often late 30s-early 40s)
Think of them as single vision with extra support for modern life.
ZEISS Digital lenses are designed for today’s visual behaviour.
• Optimised for extended screen and device use
• Large, stable distance zone for all-day clarity
• Seamless adaptation into future progressive wear
They provide subtle support without compromising the clean look of a single vision lens.
Occupational lenses are designed specifically for indoor and office tasks.
• Distance focal point can be set anywhere from 1–4 metres
• Intermediate zone positioned at pupil height for comfortable computer viewing
• Reading support at the bottom
They’re ideal if:
• You work at a computer most of the day
• You constantly tilt your head to find the “sweet spot” in progressives
• You already wear progressives but struggle at work
Important: These are not everyday lenses - they’re purpose-built for productivity.
ZEISS Office Individual lenses are fully customised to how and where you work.
• Tailored specifically for computer-only or full office environments
• Suitable for any indoor task, not strictly desk-based
• Exceptionally wide fields of view for relaxed posture and natural movement
They’re productivity lenses, designed to reduce strain and improve comfort throughout your day.
Progressive lenses provide a smooth transition between distances:
Top = distance
Middle = computer
Bottom = reading
There are no visible lines - the prescription gradually changes as your eyes move down the lens.
They’re ideal if:
• You’re over 40 and need help at multiple distances
• You want one pair of glasses for everything
• You prefer a seamless look
They can take a little time to adapt to, but most wearers love the convenience once settled.
ZEISS Individual lenses are among the most advanced progressive designs available.
• Fully customisable with lifestyle-specific designs
• Age-based modelling predicts natural eye movement patterns
• ZEISS FrameFit Technology adjusts corridor length to suit your chosen frame
• Wide, stable fields of view
ZEISS describes this level of tailoring as “precision personalised vision” - and we see the difference every day in wearer comfort.
Bifocals have two clearly defined prescription areas:
Top = distance
Bottom = reading
There’s a visible line separating the two zones.
They’re helpful if:
• You need help seeing far away and up close
• You prefer a straightforward solution
• You don’t mind the visible division
Some people notice the visual “jump” between sections, but for many, bifocals remain a simple and effective choice.
Think of them as two lenses in one, clearly defined.
If you’re unsure which lens is right for you, that’s where we come in. As your Auckland ZEISS Vision Expert, we’ll guide you through the options and tailor the lenses to your prescription, your frame, and your lifestyle. Book an appointment online to find your perfect lens match.
Great glasses aren’t just about how they look… they’re about how you see.
