ZEISS Lenses, Cut in Our Kailua Lab
We only fit what we believe is the best, and that is ZEISS. Every pair is made to order for your prescription, then cut and mounted right here in our Kailua lab by Cory, our Master Lens Maker.
We Only Fit What We Believe Is the Best
For everyday glasses, that means ZEISS. Every pair we make, from a simple reading lens to a complex progressive, gets ZEISS lenses. ZEISS has been making precision optics since 1846, and in our experience no one makes a clearer, more consistent lens.
The one exception is prescription sunglasses. There we also offer Maui Jim prescription sun lenses, for people who love the color and clarity Maui Jim is known for.
Made to Order
ZEISS makes each lens for your exact prescription. Nothing comes off a shelf.
Measured on You
We take your measurements with your frame on, so the lens sits exactly where your eyes need it.

ClearMind by the Numbers
Zone and blur figures are for ClearMind progressive lenses compared with standard ZEISS progressive lenses. Calculations by ZEISS, 2025. Wearer figures are from a ZEISS wearer survey.

Inside a ZEISS ClearMind lens
A progressive lens gives you far, intermediate, and near vision in one lens. Where each zone sits, and how large it is, shapes how the lens feels to wear. Start with the lens itself. Then look through it at Lanikai.
It starts with where you look
Your eyes never sit still. ZEISS studied how people use their eyes through a normal day. Where the gaze travels, which parts of the lens are used most, and how long the eyes stay there.
- Clear vision
- Soft focus

Now look through it
You are at Lanikai as the sun comes up. The Mokes sit on the horizon, a paddler glides past the palm, and your book is in your hands. Here is the same view through a standard progressive and through ZEISS ClearMind.

How ZEISS ClearMind Works
A short look at how ZEISS designed ClearMind around the way your eyes move through the day.
Hello, World!
Four Choices. We Guide You Through Each One.
You do not need to become a lens expert. Dr. Lauren and Cory recommend each part based on your prescription, your frame, and how you spend your day.
Design
Single vision, anti fatigue, or progressive. This comes from your exam and what you need your glasses to do.
Material
We choose the material for your prescription and your frame. Stronger prescriptions get thinner, lighter lenses. For active wear we like Trivex, which is impact resistant and optically sharp.
Light
Every clear ZEISS lens we fit has full UV protection. From there you can add BlueGuard, which filters some blue light, or PhotoFusion X, which darkens in the sun and clears again indoors.
Coating
DuraVision Plus Gold or Platinum. Both cut reflections and resist scratches and smudges. Gold is the top performer, with a warm gold reflection. Platinum has a quieter blue sheen. We will show you both in person.
Dr. Lauren on Blue Light
There is no evidence that blue light from screens harms your eyes, so filtering it is optional. Some people find screens more comfortable with a filter, especially in the evening. It is inexpensive and does no harm, so we offer it and let you decide.
Availability depends on your prescription, frame, and lens design. We will confirm what works for you.
Made for Hawaii Light
The glare off the water here is intense, and a good sun lens matters as much as your everyday pair. We make prescription sunglasses two ways.
ZEISS Sun Lenses
Polarized ZEISS lenses in your prescription, including the PerformaSun range, with tints tuned for the water, the road, and the trail. We finish them with DuraVision Plus Sun, a coating on the back of the lens that cuts the glare that bounces in from behind you.
Maui Jim in Your Prescription
Love your Maui Jims? We make them in your prescription, with the color and contrast Maui Jim is known for.
Maui Jim prescription sunglasses →Every Lens Option, Explained
Not every lens upgrade is right for every person. Dr. Lauren will walk through your options at your exam and help you find the combination that fits your prescription, lifestyle, and budget.
Progressive Lenses
Multifocal lenses with a seamless transition between distance, intermediate, and near vision, with no visible lines. Not all progressives are the same. Designs with a wider channel mean less head turning and faster adaptation. We only offer lenses we'd wear ourselves.
Anti Reflective Coating
Reduces glare from headlights, screens, and overhead lighting while improving night vision. Also cuts reflections on the lens surface for a cleaner, more cosmetically appealing look. This is one upgrade we consider essential for almost every pair.
Trivex & Polycarbonate
Both are impact resistant materials ideal for active lifestyles. Trivex provides sharper optical clarity than polycarbonate and is our preferred recommendation for people who engage in sports, outdoor activities, or anything that puts their glasses at risk.
High Index Lenses
Made from materials with a higher refractive index, these lenses are significantly thinner and lighter than standard lenses. They are especially valuable for strong prescriptions, where conventional lenses would be thick and heavy.
Blue Light Filtering
Filters a portion of the blue light from screens and LED lighting. It is optional. There is no evidence that screen light harms your eyes, but some people find long screen days more comfortable with it, especially in the evening.
Anti Fatigue Lenses
Designed to relieve the focusing strain that builds up during extended reading or screen sessions. A subtle power boost in the lower portion of the lens gives your eye muscles a break. You focus less and see more comfortably.
Photochromic Lenses
Automatically darken in sunlight and clear back up indoors. One pair that does the work of two. Ideal for patients who move frequently between indoor and outdoor environments and don't want to carry separate sunglasses.
Polarized Lenses
Cut reflected glare from water, sand, and pavement, a true necessity in Hawaii. Sharper contrast and better depth perception make polarized lenses the go to choice for fishing, paddling, surfing, driving, and any life lived outdoors.
ZEISS Lenses: Your Questions, Answered
Why do you only fit ZEISS?
We only fit what we believe is the best, and for everyday glasses that is ZEISS. ZEISS has been making precision optics since 1846, and its lenses are made to order for each prescription. The one exception is prescription sunglasses, where we also offer Maui Jim.
What is ZEISS ClearMind?
ClearMind is the newest lens design from ZEISS and the one we recommend first. ZEISS built it around how people use their eyes today, moving between phones, screens, and the world around them. It comes in single vision, anti fatigue, and progressive designs.
Do I have to get ClearMind?
No. ClearMind is our recommendation because it is what we would wear ourselves. If your budget calls for something simpler, we can order other ZEISS lens designs, and we will tell you plainly what you would give up.
Are progressive lenses hard to get used to?
Most people adapt within a few days to a couple of weeks. The lens design and the measurements make the biggest difference, which is why we fit ClearMind and take your measurements with your frame on. If something does not feel right, come back and we will check the fit, the measurements, and the prescription.
Do I need a blue light filter?
It is optional. There is no evidence that blue light from screens harms your eyes. Some people find screens more comfortable with a filter, especially in the evening, and it does no harm, so we offer it and let you decide.
What is the difference between the Gold and Platinum coatings?
Both are ZEISS DuraVision Plus coatings that cut reflections and resist scratches and smudges. Gold is the top performer and has a warm gold reflection. Platinum has a quieter blue sheen. The look is a personal choice, so we show you both in person.
Do clear lenses protect my eyes from UV?
Yes. Every clear ZEISS lens we fit has full UV protection, with or without a blue light filter.
Which lens material will I get?
We choose it for you, based on your prescription and your frame. Stronger prescriptions get thinner, lighter high index lenses. When you need impact resistance, we like Trivex because it is tough and optically sharp.
Can you put ZEISS lenses in a frame I already own?
In most cases, yes. We check the frame first, then measure, cut, and fit new ZEISS lenses in our lab. See how our lab works.
Can I use a prescription from another eye doctor?
Yes. Bring a current prescription from any provider and we will make your ZEISS lenses from it.
How long does it take to get my lenses?
Most glasses are ready in 1 to 2 weeks. ZEISS makes your lenses to order and sends them to us, and we cut, mount, and check them in our lab. Complex prescriptions or specialty lenses can take a little longer, and we will give you a timeline when you order.
