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.
