TIP FOR STAYING SAFE WHILE DRIVING THIS SUMMER
For a lot of people, summer travel means more time behind the wheel, on cross-country road trips or quick weekend getaways to the lake. Safety is the most important thing. Despite so many advances in modern driving technology, poor visibility, like low light conditions and headlight glare, is still a major danger for drivers and anyone sharing the road. Here is a tip: Try ZEISS precision optics to help you drive with confidence. Designed for both all-day wear and driving, and available in both single and progressive lens designs, ZEISS DriveSafe lenses address key elements of driving to make it safer and more comfortable. These lenses offer better vision in low light conditions, reduced glare at night from oncoming cars with ZEISS DuraVision DriveSafe Antireflective Coating, and are available with PhotoFusion self-tinting technology. PhotoFusion is the fastest photochromic on the market, up to 20 percent faster to darken and twice as fast to fade back, making them a complete vision care solution for people on-the-go. Visit ZEISS.com/Lenses to learn more, and talk to the family's eye doctor to find the best ZEISS lenses.
