80% of the information we receive through our senses is
provided by our eyesight. As the only link
between that information and your eyes, eyeglass lenses
play an essential role. The greater their transparency,
the more information they transmit. |

Crizal offers
protection against the invisible and often irreversible
dangers of UV reflection*, and the most enduring clarity
of vision by fighting the 5 enemies of clear
vision—glare, scratches, smudges, dust and water.
See Better: Crizal lenses mean
safer, more comfortable nighttime driving by reducing
glare from headlights, taillights and street lights
Look Better: Crizal lenses stay
clean, clear, and glare-free, so they look virtually
invisible to those around you. People can see your eyes,
instead of just your glasses
Feel Better:
Crizal lenses mean fewer headaches and less eye fatigue,
which are caused by reflections off of computer screens
and overhead lighting
Protect Better:
The most complete daily UV protection. Crizal is
designed to protect your eyes from damaging Ultraviolet
(UV) radiation reflections that come from the sides and
the back of the lens, therefore helping ensure your
visual health over time. |

Transparency:
Where research meets demand
It is often assumed that a window pane, the windshield of a car or
your eyeglass lenses are completely transparent. The truth is they
all produce unpleasant reflections from surrounding lights.
For instance, standard eyeglass lenses only transmit 92% of visible
light. The rest is pure reflection: mirror effects, double vision,
glare...
Reflections:
Harmful to your vision
In addition to hiding your eyes, the reflection on your lenses is a
major source of daily eyestrain and discomfort.
Crizal lenses:
Improving your eye comfort
The Crizal eyeglass lens treatment is the result of a high-tech
manufacturing process unique to Essilor. It provides the best
transparency and the most efficient protection. Crizal combines three important benefits: transparency, scratch
resistance and easy cleaning. |
