   CRIZAL^® NO-GLARE LENSES

   • WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CRIZAL NO-GLARE LENSES?

   For over 25 years, Crizal No-Glare lenses have been providing the clearest vision possible to millions of patients worldwide. Crizal No-Glare lenses offer the best combination of clarity, durability, cleanability, and optimal UV protection so that patients can see, look, and feel better.

   • HOW DO I KNOW I HAVE CRIZAL NO-GLARE LENSES?

   Crizal No-Glare lenses are supplied from the manufacturing laboratory with a Crizal No-Glare lenses Certificate of Authenticity (COA) card. To ensure your receipt of genuine Crizal No-Glare lenses, the COA card includes product registration information and a Crizal No-Glare lenses cleaning cloth. If you do not receive these items with your Crizal No-Glare lenses, please consult your eyecare professional.

   • ARE CRIZAL NO-GLARE LENSES HEAVIER OR THICKER THAN ORDINARY LENSES?

   Crizal No-Glare lens treatment is very thin—thinner than a strand of hair! The actual thickness and weight of your glasses is a function of the lens material chosen, your frames, and your prescription.

   CRIZAL NO-GLARE LENSES UV PROTECTION

   • DO CRIZAL NO-GLARE LENSES HAVE UV PROTECTION

   Yes, Crizal No-Glare lenses offer our most comprehensive daily protection against the invisible and often irreversible dangers of UV reflection.

   • WHAT IS UV LIGHT?

   UV is a form of light/radiation that is not visible to the human eye. Sunlight is the primary source of ultraviolet radiation. UV light comes from all directions, reflecting off surrounding surfaces and creating dangerous exposure.

   • WHY DO I NEED UV PROTECTION?

   UV damage is cumulative and often irreversible. Long-term exposure to UV radiation can increase the risk of certain eye conditions and diseases, such as UV-related cataracts, growths on the eye, and even certain skin cancers on the eyelids or around the eye area.

   • WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS OF UV?

   Premature signs of aging, skin cancer, eye disease, wrinkles, and dark circles.

   • WHY WOULD I WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN IT’S CLOUDY OUTSIDE?

   Over 40% of annual UV exposure is received during conditions when people are not in full sunlight and are less likely to wear eye protection. Complete UV protection on your everyday clear lenses can help protect the long-term health of your eyes.

   • WHY WOULD I NEED UV PROTECTION ON THE BACK SIDE OF MY LENS IF IT’S ALREADY ON THE FRONT SIDE? ISN’T THAT ENOUGH PROTECTION?

   UV light comes from all directions, reflecting off surrounding surfaces and creating dangerous exposure. The back surface of everyday clear glasses has been found to reflect light coming from the back and sides of the lens, increasing UV light exposure to the eyes. Most sunglasses and clear lenses with higher-quality materials block UV light from transmitting through the front of the lens, but they do not address the UV light reflecting off the back side of the lens. Crizal No-Glare lenses provide protection against backside UV reflection. Ask your eyecare professional about the benefits of Crizal No-Glare lenses.
