Information

Crizal Sapphire UV is our all-new anti-reflective coating. It interacts with light by taking into account the visible and ultraviolet wavelengths. Crizal Sapphire UV reduces reflections and ghost images increasing transmission of visual information, which ensures wearers are protected from light intensity. And for the first time, multi-angular light directions are now accounted for, meaning wearers will have the clearest vision possible. Pure vision. Improved transmission of visual information reduces ghost images resulting in a decrease of bothersome reflections. Increased transparency Everyone wants to be seen in their best light. Crizal Sapphire UV sets a new standard for lens transparency. Meaning wearer's selfies are not interrupted by unwanted lens reflection. Light protection 100% of UVA and UVB light is reflected, ensuring your patients' eyes are protected. Lens protection and visual clarity Crizal Sapphire UV maintains industry leading anti-reflective, scratch resistant, smudge repellent, water repellent and dust repellent benefits ensuring ultimate lens protection. Water Repellency Microscopic gaps in the coating are filled with Hydrophobic (water repellent) molecules. Therefore, smoothing the surface of the lens, which allows water droplets to roll from the lens surface without leaving a trace. Dust Repellency An anti-static layer prevents positive dust particles sitting on the lens. Scratch Resistance Lenses are protected by a scratch resistant booster, a nano millimetre layer located behind the AR layer. The scratch resistant booster layer is designed to gradually increases in hardness Smudge Repellency Smudges appear on lenses due to uneven nano molecules found on the surface of coatings. By smoothing fluorinated molecules into a consistent pattern Crizal Sapphire UV coatings offer a superior smudge repellence.
