Crizal® Prevencia™
Crizal Prevencia, the result of years of research by Essilor in association with the Paris Vision Institute, provides the
most complete eye-health protection on clear lenses.
While visible light, including blue-turquoise light which is essential to the pupillary constriction reflex and
human biological clock synchronization, is mandatory for human vision and health, UV light is a major risk factor
in many severe eye diseases, including cataract and High Energy Visible (HEV) Light is one of the risk factor of
AMD.
Crizal Prevencia’s Light Scan™ technology, a breakthrough selective light filter AR technology resulting from
20 years of R&D expertise on selective light filtration, combines 3 key features at the same time:
It filters out harmful light:
• Reducing the rate of retinal cell death by 25 %(1) by
blocking 20% of the Blue-Violet light, a protection level
that could alleviate the cumulative risk of AMD. Efficiency
proven by in vitro tests;
• Providing 25 times more protection against UV rays(2)
vs. the naked eye by virtually eliminating UV rays reflected
into the eye from the backside of the lens.
It allows essential light to pass through:
• Preserving maximum transmission of visible light,
including Blue-Turquoise, maintaining its beneficial effects for your vision and overall well-being.
It ensures enduring clarity of vision and transparency:
• Offering the most complete protection against the enemies of clear vision: glare, scratches, smudges, dust and
water for optimal vision.
Crizal Prevencia’s is the first clear lens with visible proof of its efficacy against blue-violet light, as shown by
its residual reflection, and maintains the same overall performance as Crizal Forte UV lenses.
