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.

 

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. Applied to plastic lenses, it combines three important benefits: transparency, scratch resistance and easy cleaning.
