HELPING YOU THINK ABOUT THE LONG TERM.
Most of the visible light spectrum is essential for our vision and overall well-being. However, the part of the light spectrum made up of UV and blue-violet light can be the cause of premature eye ageing.
Crizal Prevencia provides protection against harmful light(4) whilst preserving your overall well-being.
UV AND BLUE-VIOLET LIGHT PROTECTION
Outdoors, whatever the weather, you are exposed to UV rays and Blue-Violet light. Indoors, wherever the place, Blue-Violet light can be present too. The amount of Blue-Violet light emitted from the low energy lighting, LED bulbs in particular, is a significantly lower volume than that emitted from natural sunlight.
Protection is recommended all day long, all year long.
Blue-Violet light has been identified as the most harmful light to the outer retina and over time is one contributing factor of AMD (Age-Related Macular Degeneration).(5)
Crizal Prevencia selectively filters Blue-Violet light reducing exposure, supporting retinal cell survival and allows essential visible light to pass through, preserving your overall well-being.
Enhanced in every way.
Crizal Prevencia UV ensures your spectacle lenses are resistant and repellent from scratches, smudges, water droplets and dust particles. Meaning - your lenses are incredibly protected. Which comes in handy when facing everyday activities.

(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.
(2) 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® UV lenses with Essilor Orma 1.5®.
(3) Crizal scratch guarantee, terms and conditions apply
(4) Harmful light = UV and blue-violet light
(5) The outer retina is composed of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells plus the outer segments of visual photoreceptors. RPE is critical to the functioning, survival and constant renewal of photoreceptors
