Crizal No-Glare lenses provide you with clearer vision by reducing:

  • Glare
  • Scratches
  • Smudge
  • Dust

 

Why use no-glare lenses?

No-Glare lenses are prescribed for better safety, health and comfort.

See Clearly

  • Extreme glare reduces your vision from 20/20 up to 20/40 – a big difference! No-Glare lenses improve contrast by 20% and improve visual acuity so you see clearly, even at night.

See Safely

  • Glare exposure temporarily blinds drivers at night and reduces visual recovery time by as much as 5 seconds. No-Glare lenses provide up to 30% wider fields of vision for safer night driving.

See Comfortably

  • Glare from artificial lights such as computers and fluorescent lighting causes eye-fatigue. No-Glare lenses help eliminate symptoms like tired eyes, headaches and blurred vision. Plus, premium No-Glare lenses such as Crizal® with Scotchgard™ Protector reduce scratches and smudges giving you clearer vision all the time.

See Smarter

  • 80% of what kids learn in their first 12 years is through their eyes. Glare in the classroom from whiteboards and computer screens causes eye-strain and can affect learning and productivity.

Drivewear

  • At low lighting conditions, Drivewear lenses provide high transmission of light to maximize the total information to all the eye’s visual receptors. This results in maximum visual acuity at this low lighting level. The high contrast polarizer removes glare that would otherwise destroy vision in low light conditions. In this stage Drivewear lenses are a high contrast green/yellow color. Simply, there is no better designed lens for either outdoors or while driving under low light, overcast conditions.
  • During bright light conditions behind the windshield of a car, Drivewear lenses provides lower overall transmission to control light intensity for optimum visual acuity. Drivewear lenses promote preferential activation of the eye’s red cones (and to a lesser extent, green cones) and result in the best possible vision at these higher light levels. Drivewear’s high contrast polarizer is absolutely essential behind the windshield of the car, because it blocks out blinding glare, one of the most dangerous of all driving hazards. Under these conditions, the Drivewear lenses turn a copper color which many feel is the optimum color for a driving lens. This unique behind-the-windshield response protects against bright light and glare and provides better sensitivity to the “visual signal” that is vital for safe driving.
  • In outside bright light conditions, the eyes’ visual receptors, the rods and cones, can easily get “overpowered” and “oversaturated” with light. Under these bright outside conditions the Drivewear lens is designed for maximum filtration of this excess light. It achieves its maximum dark color under these conditions. Here again, it is important to provide maximum protection from blinding glare, and only polarized lenses can do this. Drivewear is designed to provide maximum comfort to the wearer in these high outdoor light conditions.

Lens Materials

Airwear

Airwear lenses are better than standard plastic

Virtually unbreakable and lighter than regular lenses, Airwear lenses are the ultimate choice for every lifestyle.

Unparalleled protection

  • 12x stronger than standard plastic lenses
  • 100% UV protection

Many eye injuries are preventable. The American Academy of Ophthalmology reports that more than 100,000 people sustain eye injuries each year. Airwear lenses are tough and durable — so tough that NASA uses the same material to construct visors for astronauts.

Furthermore, 12 to 15 million people annually become blind from cataracts — and about 20% of those cases may be caused or compounded by sun exposure. Airwear lenses provide 100% protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Feel the difference

You will see and feel the difference when wearing Airwear lenses. They are 43% lighter and 25% thinner than regular lenses.

As versatile as they come

It’s all possible with Airwear lenses. Airwear lenses offer safe, durable lenses for children, those who like to play sports and those who push their lenses to the limit.
