Back surface UV protection Crizal Drive, as all Crizal UV lenses, virtually eliminates back surface reflections protecting wearers against dangerous UV from the back surface of the lens. Why do we experience discomfort when driving at night? Our vision is not adapted to this environment. Rod cells are the only photoreceptors in the retina to react to low lighting. This is what we call mesopic or night vision. Eye sensitivity is different in the day time than at night. Reflections and glare At night, we are exposed to multiple and intense sources of light that create reflections and glare. These reflections and glare disturb rod cells, creating discomfort and lower visual acuity.
