By selectively filtering out a portion of this harmful light spectrum, Crizal Prevencia aims to reduce eye strain, improve visual comfort, and potentially minimise the risk of damage. The advanced technology not only provides a clearer and more comfortable vision but also offers an extra layer of defence for overall eye health, making it an invaluable addition to your lens.
