Another company taking a broader look at eye issues
is Essilor who have addressed the needs of an aging
demographic with their Crizal Prevencia and Varilux
S lenses.
“Eye health is a worldwide issue. Due to an aging
population, the occurrence of cataracts and macular
degeneration will double in the next 30 years,” says
Martine Ahier, brand manager for Crizal and Optifog.
She added the Crizal Prevencia reduces the rate
of retinal cell death by 25 per cent helping to alleviate
the risk of AMD.
In 2011, Essilor and the Paris Vision Institute
discovered the precise band of light of 40nm (415455nm) known as blue-violet light which is one of the
most harmful to the retinal cells. The Crizal
Prevencia blocks this light eliminating harmful UV
rays reflected into the eyes. •
