Protecting your eyes

The pandemic has affected all of us in one way or another, and the awareness of viruses has become inevitable. Known for not only for optical superiority and precision lenses designed to give clear, comfortable vision and to correct refractive errors, Zeiss is also known for its ingenuity and innovation. Now they came up with an antimicrobial coating solution to address the growing concern the global pandemic has brought into awareness.

“Eyeglasses are an object that one touches constantly. You take them off, you put them on and most of us do not wash our hands every time we touch our spectacles, so bacteria as well as viruses stay on the glasses, making the spread of infection easier. The new coating offered by Zeiss to all of their lenses answers this concern by killing all viruses and bacteria that contact it,” says optometrist Gadi Diament from Optica Gan Ha’ir, Tel Aviv.

Do we need it? Hard to say, but the relatively low price and the extra protection make this idea something worth exploring. By the way, the eye examination performed by Diament is well worth your time. I have had numerous checks over the years. None were as particular and addressed so many issues as the one I got at Optica Gan Ha’ir, partially thanks to the innovative cutting-edge equipment, all by Zeiss, and a lot thanks to the fact that he loves his profession and takes pride in learning every new thing. Try them.
