Crizal lenses feature advanced anti-reflective and protective coatings developed by Essilor. They reduce glare from screens and lights, improve visual clarity, repel smudges and water, and provide UV protection. The result is sharper vision, better eye comfort, and lenses that stay cleaner and clearer throughout the day.
Crizal coatings are applied directly to prescription lenses during the manufacturing process. They are compatible with single-vision, progressive, bifocal, and most specialty prescriptions. The coating does not affect your prescription power; it enhances how light passes through the lens for clearer vision.
Crizal Prevencia is designed to filter select blue-violet light commonly emitted by digital screens while maintaining natural color perception. It can help reduce visual fatigue during extended device use, making it a popular choice for people who work on computers or use digital devices frequently.
Yes. Crizal coatings are designed to block harmful UV rays from both the front and back surfaces of the lens. When combined with UV-protective lens materials, they help protect the eyes and surrounding skin from long-term sun exposure.
Crizal coatings are fully compatible with high-index lenses, progressive lenses, and most advanced prescription types. Many wearers choose Crizal specifically because it enhances the clarity and appearance of thinner, premium lens materials.
Crizal coatings are engineered for increased scratch resistance and long-lasting performance compared to basic anti-reflective treatments. Options like Crizal Rock offer enhanced durability for active lifestyles or children’s eyewear.
To maintain performance, clean Crizal lenses using a microfiber cloth and lens-safe cleaning solution. Avoid paper products or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the coating over time. Proper care helps preserve clarity and extend the life of the lenses.
