LENS INDEX

High-index plastic lenses are now available in a wide range of Progressive HD indexes, higher than 1.5 up to 1.74.

HI material: 1.6: Recommended for a wide range of designs and purposes and for optical powers ranging from near-sightedness to presbyopia. Minimal chromatic aberration in the visual periphery and an ideal balance of properties such as impact resistance and thermal resistance. 1.67: These lenses are thin, light, and high impact resistance. The MR 7 TMoffers good tentability, ideal for sunglasses. The MR 10 TM offers superb thermal resistance suitable for high challenging temperature conditions. 1.74: It is suitable for users looking for ultra-thin lenses.

BLUE LIGHT FILTER

An advanced lens treatment that protects from natural and artificial light sources such as computer displays, TVs, smartphones, tablets, and more.

Blue Light Emitting Sources
Blue Light Other Effects

ARTIFICIAL LIGHT SOURCES EFFECTS

Digital devices and displays emit a high-energy, visible blue light. Thanks to advanced lens substrates and coating technology, LENSCRICBLF locks up to 98% of harmful blue light between 400nm – 435nm, up to three times more than standard clear lenses.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR YOUR EYES?

Tired and dry eyes, eye strain, insufficient visual contrast, and headaches are symptoms of prolonged blue light exposure; all of which increase the risk of macular degeneration and retinal disease.

Children are more susceptible to overexposure of blue light than adults because their eyes are not fully developed and are more transparent. This results in less protection from the harmful effects of UV and blue-violet light.

EXPOSURE TO BLUE LIGHT DURING THE DAY

SLEEPING

Decreases in melatonin cause a disruption of the sleep cycle.

FATIGUE

Eye strain, tired eyes, dry eyes, and might be symptoms of long exposure to blue-violet light.

AMD

Part of the blue light was recently identified as harmful to our retina. It can accelerate the appearance of AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration).

CATARACT

UV light is dangerous to our eyes as they are to our eyes as well. Its effect accumulates over our lifetime, accelerating eye aging and the appearance of the eye’s lens Cataract.

PHOTOCHROMATIC

Photochromic lenses accommodate a fast colour change whenever you go from indoors to outdoors, and vice versa. Plus, the lenses reduce glare and filter out harmful UV 400 light. PHOTOCHROMATIC lenses also offer optimum vision, comfort, and protection all day long.

Photochromic lenses are a type of lens that relies on photochromic dyes to react to UV rays. When exposed to UV light, the lens darkens to provide comfortable vision in bright light conditions. When the UV light source diminishes, the lens returns to its clear state, making it ideal for use both indoors and outdoors. However, regular photochromic lenses only filter UV400 light, but not harmful blue rays. Overexposure to blue light can be dangerous and lead to retinal problems over time.

Introducing Photochromic blue light filter lenses – the latest technology in filtering harmful blue-violet light. These lenses are designed to filter both UV400 and harmful blue-violet rays, making them an excellent addition to your eyewear. The BLF substrate is built into the lens material, providing full UV protection.

Photochromic blue light filter lenses offer several benefits :

1. Additional Protection: Whether clear or dark, these lenses provide additional protection by filtering both UV400 and harmful blue-violet light.
2. Full UV Protection: Photochromic blue light filter lenses offer 100% protection against UV rays, keeping your eyes safe from harmful radiation.
3. Available Materials and Colours: Photochromic blue light filter lenses come in a range of materials and colors. Contact your optometrist or eyewear provider to learn more about the available options.

In summary, Photochromic blue light filter lenses offer superior protection by filtering both UV400 and harmful blue-violet light. With full UV protection and a range of materials and colors available, they are an excellent choice for anyone looking to protect their eyes from harmful radiation.

POLYCARBONATE

Your eyewear should be able to withstand unexpected impacts and protect your eyes from harmful UV radiation. Polycarbonate lenses give you peace of mind by providing high-impact resistance, making them a great choice for people who lead a Progressive HD lifestyle, play sports, or work in hazardous environments. Polycarbonate lenses are also lightweight and comfortable, making them an ideal choice for rimless or drill mount frames that rely on lenses for structural rigidity.

Polycarbonate lenses block 100% of harmful UV rays, which protects your eyes from various eye complications. They are also durable and stress-free, providing excellent optical performance for crisp, clear vision.

Polycarbonate lenses are perfect for anyone who wants strong and protective eyewear that blocks harmful UV light and provides maximum comfort. They are also an excellent lens solution for children, offering the necessary protection without compromising visual performance for reading and schoolwork.

POLARIZED

When light reflects off shiny surfaces like snow, cars, and buildings, it produces glare that can reduce vision quality and change the eye’s perception of colour and contrast. Polarized lenses can help by neutralizing excessive brightness and removing unwanted visual noise, including the blinding glare of sunlight. In addition to reducing glare, polarized lenses also improve colour contrast, depth perception, and visual acuity, which can provide better eye comfort and safety when outdoors. Polarized lenses also block 100% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, which helps prevent eye damage caused by exposure to the sun’s rays. Polarized lenses are available in both single vision and progressive lenses, making them suitable for various prescription needs. Whether you’re driving, participating in outdoor activities, or just enjoying a sunny day, polarized lenses can enhance your visual experience and provide the protection your eyes need.
