History of Carl Zeiss Vision

More than 160 years of precision in vision: From the microscope to the spectacle lens.

The workshop for precision mechanics and optics opened by Carl Zeiss in Jena in 1846 prospered almost from the beginning. On the basis of his partner Ernst Abbe's scientific achievements, a global player in the field of optics gradually evolved. This period of success continued for a century. The enforced partition of Germany as a result of political circumstances after World War II led to two Carl Zeiss companies.

With the political change in the former East Germany in 1989/90, the two competitors reunited to form a single company in 1990. Reunited, Carl Zeiss became stronger than ever before in its eventful history.

Today, the company looks to the future with optimism and anticipation and values it's partnerships.
