Of all the positions in the lab that require special skill and attention to detail, the AR lab is one of the most demanding. Our highly trained and experienced staff work hard to ensure that all the scratch-resistant, no glare lenses produced here are of the highest quality and will meet and exceed the expectations of you and your patients.
The requirements to be able to produce the Crizal family of lenses in-house are strict, and those high standards are also applied to the production of our house brand no glare lenses, Xtreme and and Ultra, which are described below. The video at the end of the page is very informative about the Crizal No Glare process.
Crizal offers a full range of No-Glare lenses for the clearest vision possible and the most comprehensive daily UV protection. Crizal sets the standard for glare reduction, water repellance, smudge and scratch resistance. Crizal Prevencia, deflects 20% of harmful Blue-Violet light and can be added to lenses with the new Smart Blue Filter for even more blue light reduction.
Crizal lenses have an E-SPF® value of 35 — for 35 times more UV protection than going without eyewear. E-SPF® is a global index rating the overall UV protection of a lens. E-SPF® was developed by Essilor International and endorsed by third-party experts. A lens rating of E-SPF®35 means that an eye protected by the lens will receive 35 times less UV exposure than an unprotected eye.
