Double sun protection
The sun is a source of well-being and pleasure and has beneficial effects providing we don't over use it. Protection from the sun is as important for the eyes as it is for the skin - UV and blue light are both dangerous and can cause irreparable damage.
Protection from the sunlight
You may be familiar with melanin. It is the pigment that gives hair and brown eyes their colour, and your skin its suntan. Melanin is a natural pigment which is found throughout the human body. Its role is to protect us against sunlight damage by filtering UV and blue light.
After confirming that using melanin is the best solution for filtering blue light, Essilor scientists developed a new single vision prescription sun lens containing syntetic melanin that blocks 100% of UV and 98% of blue light with a SPF 140
A secret weapon for younger looking eyes
By choosing Airwear Melanin lenses you can enjoy the sun with the knowledge that your eyes are being fully protected from harmful UV and blue light.
With a SPF 140, Airwear Melanin lenses will protect your retina and the thin skin around your eyes which is very sensitive to premature ageing caused by the sun.
