Up to 50% of UV exposure comes from the reflection from the back-surface and sides of lenses, resulting in ordinary sun lenses, with no UV blocking technology on the back surface of the lens, putting patients’ eyes at greater risk of UV damage as darker lenses result in greater pupil dilation. Countering this Crizal Sun UV eliminates reflected light off the front and back of the lens, protecting patients’ eyes from both glare and UV light while they are outside, and decreasing discomfort from bright-light conditions.
When patients wear sunglasses, their lenses are also bombarded with challenges such as sun cream, perspiration and natural oils from the body, creating smudges and affecting clarity. So Crizal Sun UV lens coating has also been specially designed to resist smudge and dirt thanks to its oleophobic technology.
Crizal Sun UV lens is the only prescription lens approved by the Cancer Society of New Zealand. Talk to Essilor territory managers to make Crizal Sun UV part of your sun lens solution for patients.
