Helping you protect your eye health
Lenses not only correct your vision. They should correct your vision and protect your eyes from harmful light. Therefore, supporting you in the prevention of long-term eye health complications. You can combine our protective technologies with all corrective lens designs.
Helping you have the best clarity of vision
It's important to enhance your lenses to deliver the sharpest vision and guard the lens solution against everyday elements. All of our Crizal lens enhancements repel water and dust, resists smudges and scratches and offer UV light protection. Depending on your need, find a different Crizal technology to reduce reflections or deliver additional harmful blue light protection.
Helping you see clearly
Following an eye exam, your optician will give you a prescription informing you of your corrective needs. You can correct your vision with two types of lens designs, single vision or progressive. Single vision lens designs are for all ages and correct with one power across the whole surface of the lens. Progressive lens designs are more complicated, they correct your vision across three different power zones seamlessly - near, mid and far. Ensuring you can see at different distances with one lens.
