Essilor launches Crizal® Prevencia™ - Available now at Eyesite

October 8, 2013

Block out the bad light and let in the good

Essilor's Crizal® Prevencia™ is the first preventive lens offering selective protection from harmful blue light and UV rays.

  • UV Light is not only a major risk factor for many skin diseases, but is also a risk factor for eye diseases, including cataract.
  • Blue-Violet Light is harmful to retinal cells and is one of the risk factors for the onset of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Benefits of Crizal Prevencia lenses

  • Crizal Prevencia is proven to deflect harmful Blue-Violet Light by 20%.
  • Crizal Prevencia has an Eye-Sun Protection Factor (E-SPF®) of 25, which means it provides 25x times more UV protection for your eyes compared to wearing no lens at all.

How Crizal Prevencia lenses work

  1. Selectively filter out harmful light (Blue-Violet & UV).
  2. Allow beneficial light to pass through (visible light, including Blue-Turquoise).
  3. Maintain excellent transparency (clear No-Glare lens) for optimal vision at all times.
