It cannot be repeated often enough: protecting your eyes from the effects of the sun is essential. Although the sun is the subject of numerous prevention campaigns due to its harmful effects, artificial light is in turn increasingly under the spotlight.

What is blue light?

Light is essential in our environment, but it can also be harmful to our eyes. One of the latest alarming findings concerns the blue light emitted by all types of screens that surround us.

Blue light is mainly emitted by LED screens. Radiated by our computers, tablets and smartphones, but also used to illuminate our homes, workspaces and public places... blue light is an integral part of our daily lives. According to recent studies, exposure to this light has effects on the retina and crystalline lens.

When you're exposed to this type of light, it's essential to protect your eyes with suitable lenses.

How can I protect my eyes?

With this in mind, Essilor, a French lens manufacturer, has created the Essilor Crizal Prevencia range of lenses. Filtering blue light, these lenses are particularly recommended for people with prolonged exposure to it.

The main purpose of these lenses is to prevent premature aging of the eyes. They filter blue-violet light and let only essential light through.
