Benefits Of Crizal Lenses
Essilor is a leader in visual health (with over 160 years of innovation) and is the parent company for Crizal lenses. Each year, Essilor allocates over $250 million to research to create prescription eyewear that is tailored to individual needs and lifestyles. No wonder these eyeglass lenses lead the market in cutting-edge technology. They not only help you see better but also protect your eyes for years to come.
Crizal Eye Protect System™
These lenses lead the market in protecting your eyes against the light that can harm your vision – both invisible UV rays and visible blue-violet light. All Crizal eyeglass lenses block at least 20% of harmful blue light and offer a minimum E-SPF 25. The short-term benefits of this unique Eye Protect System™ include reducing digital eyestrain and improving overall well-being, mood, and cognitive performance. As for long-term benefits, the Eye Protect System™ can help protect against premature aging of the eyes and eye diseases such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
Crizal Lenses Protection
Crizal Scratch Resistant
SR Booster™ technology protects the eyeglass lenses from scratches and daily wear and tear, providing long-term durability by optimizing the interaction between the layers of the lens. This strengthens the lens as a whole and provides superior scratch resistance.
Crizal Glare Reduction
The extremely thin layers of Crizal lens products help stop bright light from interfering with the service of the eyeglass lens, preventing eye strain and potential headaches. Glare reduction leads to clarity of vision, reduced glare when driving at night, and protection from distracting reflections.
Crizal Anti Smudge
Crizal’s patented HSD Process™ (High Surface Density Process) helps maintain clear vision throughout the day with an eyeglass lens that protects against smudges and is effortless and easy to clean.
Crizal Dust Repellent
Exclusive technology i-Technolgy™ creates an anti-static layer that repels dust and dirt away from the eyeglass lens.
Crizal Water Repellence
Hyrodphobic molecules on the Crizal lens minimizes water drops from adhering to the lens while Slide-FX™ technology causes water to form into small drops and roll right off the lens.
Crizal UV Protective Lenses
Crizal eyeglass lenses are unique in that its trademarked Broad Spectrum Technology™ blocks UV rays reflected into the eye from the back of the lens. Transparency is not compromised! Only Crizal lenses offer the best UV protection on the market.
Crizal Blue Light Protection (UV)
Crizal Prevencia lenses offer protection against harmful blue-violet lights reflected from digital devices such as your tablet, phone, or computer, which can prevent eyestrain and premature aging of the eyes.
