80% of the information we receive through our senses is provided by our eyesight. As the only link between that information and your eyes, eyeglass lenses play an essential role. The greater their transparency, the more information they transmit.

Crizal offers protection against the invisible and often irreversible dangers of UV reflection*, and the most enduring clarity of vision by fighting the 5 enemies of clear vision—glare, scratches, smudges, dust and water.

See Better: Crizal lenses mean safer, more comfortable nighttime driving by reducing glare from headlights, taillights and street lights

Look Better: Crizal lenses stay clean, clear, and glare-free, so they look virtually invisible to those around you. People can see your eyes, instead of just your glasses

Feel Better: Crizal lenses mean fewer headaches and less eye fatigue, which are caused by reflections off of computer screens and overhead lighting

Protect Better: The most complete daily UV protection. Crizal is designed to protect your eyes from damaging Ultraviolet (UV) radiation reflections that come from the sides and the back of the lens, therefore helping ensure your visual health over time.

Transparency: Where research meets demand
It is often assumed that a window pane, the windshield of a car or your eyeglass lenses are completely transparent. The truth is they all produce unpleasant reflections from surrounding lights.

For instance, standard eyeglass lenses only transmit 92% of visible light. The rest is pure reflection: mirror effects, double vision, glare...

Reflections: Harmful to your vision
In addition to hiding your eyes, the reflection on your lenses is a major source of daily eyestrain and discomfort.

Crizal lenses: Improving your eye comfort
The Crizal eyeglass lens treatment is the result of a high-tech manufacturing process unique to Essilor. It provides the best transparency and the most efficient protection. Crizal combines three important benefits: transparency, scratch resistance and easy cleaning.
