One pair for near and far vision.
Progressive lenses let you see clearly at all distances without constantly taking your glasses on and off. However, precise fitting is critical—choose a professional provider to ensure the best results.

Target Audience
Why do progressive lenses require professional fitting?
Progressive lenses feature complex optical designs with extremely tight alignment tolerances; even minor deviations can cause discomfort.
Progressive Fitting Master Certification
The optometrist holds Zeiss Progressive Fitting Master certification and has extensive experience in fitting progressive lenses.
I.Terminal 2 Digital Positioning
Achieve precise positioning with the Zeiss I.Terminal 2 system, with an error margin of less than 0.1mm to ensure accurate alignment of the optical center.
Personalized Parameter Collection
Measure 20+ parameters including PD, pupil height, frame specs, and wearing angle for custom lenses.
Enhance After-Sales Support
Includes adaptation guidance and free adjustments if needed to ensure a comfortable fit.
Progressive Lens Adaptation Guide
Start with stillness, then move.
Start by practicing while stationary; once familiar, try using it while walking.
Move head, keep eyes still
Turn your head instead of your eyes to look at different distances, allowing your gaze to naturally align with the corresponding areas.
Caution: Stairs
When going downstairs, look down at the steps through the lower part of the lenses. When going upstairs, look up ahead.
Allow ample time to adjust
Most people fully adapt within 1–2 weeks; a few may require more time.
Timely communication and feedback
If discomfort persists, contact your optometrist for adjustments.
