L ight plays a crucial role in how vision functions. It brings an unexpected dichotomy to the eyes as it can be both beneficial and harmful. Irreversible eye damage from light exposure is a worrying public health issu. The challenge facing the ophthalmic optics industry is to find the right balance between protecting the eyes from noxious light while allowing the essential light to reach the retina for vision and beyond. Essilor has introduced some very innovative products to combat the issue. INTRODUCING CRIZAL BLUE UV CAPTURE™! As more and more consumers engage on screen interaction with evolving lifestyles the digital exposure and screen time has increased significantly. Protection from harmful blue light has become a norm, and that is what CRIZAL BLUE UV CAPTURE™ Innovation, Essilor’s new solution, does best. Designed as an optimal clear lens for everyday use by all patients, it represents a new ‘in-the-mass’ absorption solution to protect against UV and harmful blue- violet light. Crizal Blue UV Capture™ filters out 100% of UV rays from a front angle and provides up to three times more protection against blue-violet light than standard prescription lenses. And it does so while letting essential light pass through lenses, which is essential for our day to day wellbeing. A new blue light filtering lens has been developed, understanding the biological aspects of the noxious blue-light radiations, resulting in a significant 20% cut of harmful blue-violet light in an optimal clear lens. Furthermore, combining this with the Crizal® Prevencia®, Essilor’s premium blue-cut anti-reflective coating, will only enhance the level of protection. And this is sure to give maximum benefit to the wearer. COVETED INNOVATION FROMESSILOR! With the objective of democratizing protection against harmful blue-violet light, Essilor kicks off this year by introducing product offerings which will not only help meet the needs of consumers but will also accelerate optician’s business
