LIGHT IS EVERYWHERE
Most of the visible light spectrum is essential for our vision and overall well-being. Its helps us see and regulates our cognitive performance. However, the part of the light spectrum made up of UV and Blue-Violet light can be the cause of premature eye ageing(3). Crizal Prevencia provides protection against harmful light(4)whilst preserving your overall well-being.
DURABLE LENSES
Your lenses face a lot every day. Smudges from your natural oils, water droplets from the change in the weather and the potential risk of scratches, all of which can impact the clarity of your lenses and in turn your vision. Crizal Prevencia is enhanced to be repellent and resistant to scratches, water, smudges and dust meaning your lenses are protected from the everyday enemies of clear vision.
TECHNOLOGY
HARMFUL LIGHT FILTRATION
Crizal Prevencia selectively filters out harmful UV and Blue-Violet light. By reducing Blue-Violet exposure, Crizal Prevencia helps supports retinal cell survival(1). Crizal Prevencia blocks UV rays from passing through the front of the lens and prevents UV rays from reflecting off of the back of your lens into your eye, resulting in an E-SPF rating of 35, the highest E-SPF index on a clear lens for optimal UV protection(5).

(1) Crizal Prevencia blocks 20% of the harmful Blue-Violet light, reducing retinal cell death by 25%. The Blue-Violet light cut may slightly differ depending on lens material. In vitro experiments conducted by Essilor and Paris Vision Institute,Retinal Pigment Epithelium cells were exposed to Blue-Violet light, reproducing the physiological exposure to sunlight of the 40-year-old human eye.

(5) The E-SPF® index depends on the lens material itself and the coating. E-SPF® is a global index rating the overall UV protection of a lens. E-SPF® was developed by Essilor International and endorsed by 3rd party experts. Lens performance only. The E-SPF® index excludes direct eye exposure that depends on external factors (wearer’s morphology, frame shape, position of wear). E-SPF®=10 for Crizal® Prevencia lenses with Essilor Orma 1.5®.
