permanent engraving
Permanent engraving for the reconstruction of all reference points and measuring points of progressive lenses. Carl Zeiss progressive lenses are engraved with the Z-trademark. A code indicating the addition is found under the temporal engraving. This corresponds to the As-worn power and hence also to the prescribed power. An abbreviation under the nasal Z engraving indicates the lens type and the refractive index of the material. The abbreviation for Gradal Individual® is "I", for Gradal® Short I "S".
