HOW CRIZAL SAPPHIRE HR WITHSTANDS EXTREME TESTINGS

 

 

  • THE CRIZAL LIFEPROOF MULTI-TEST

THE CRIZAL LIFEPROOF MULTI-TEST

Essilor has developed a thorough protocol to test its innovations - the Crizal Lifeproof multi-test. Results from these lab & real-life tests verified Crizal® Sapphire™HR performance for:

  • Exceptional anti-reflection efficiency: best-in-class transparency perceived by trained observers through sensory analysis2.
  • High-level scratch resistance: superior scratch resistance vs previous generation after 18 months of wear in real-life3.
  • Easy to clean: enduring clarity after extensive smudging and 20,000 cleaning wipes4.

REDUCING REFLECTIONS

Whether we are at home, at work or shopping, we are exposed to multiple sources of light. Coming from all angles, light reaches your lenses and creates reflections. These reflections can be a source of discomfort and force conscious or subconscious evasive behaviours. We adjust our heads, change our posture or even remove our glasses just to minimise the disturbance from reflections. Crizal® SapphireTMHR lenses fight reflections from all directions, for more vivid vision and improved lens aesthetics when others look at you. With Crizal® SapphireTMHR lenses, transparency has never been so visible.2

 

HIGH LEVEL UV PROTECTION FOR A CLEAR LENS

The effects of UV on your eyes is cumulative, contributing to premature eye ageing and increasing the risk of cataracts.5 Crizal SapphireHR lenses filter harmful UV rays, preventing them from passing through the front and reflecting off of the back of the lens into your eye. With boosted back-surface UV protection, Crizal SapphireHR lenses have an E-SPF rating of 35, the highest E-SPF index on clear lenses for optimal lens UV protection.6

 

ENHANCE YOUR LENSES IN EVERY WAY

Crizal SapphireHR ensures your lenses resist scratches and repel smudges, water droplets and dust particles. Crizal SapphireHR coating is your lens’ armour against the everyday elements that can spoil the look and clarity of your lenses – for transparency that stands the test of life.4

6 The E-SPF® index depends on the lens material itself and the coating. E-SPF® is a global index rating the overall UV protection of a lens. E-SPF® was developed by Essilor International and endorsed by 3rd party experts. The E-SPF® index excludes direct eye exposure that depends on external factors (wearer’s morphology, frame shape, position of wear). E-SPF®=10 for Crizal® Sapphire HR lenses with Essilor Orma 1.5®.
