Yes, Crizal^® Anti-Glare coating offers our most comprehensive daily protection against the invisible and often irreversible dangers of UV reflection.

UV is a form of light/radiation that is not visible to the human eye. Sunlight is the primary source of ultraviolet radiation. UV light comes from all directions, reflecting off surrounding surfaces and creating dangerous exposure.

UV damage is cumulative and often irreversible. Long-term exposure to UV radiation can increase the risk of certain eye conditions and diseases, such as UV-related cataracts, growths on the eye, and even certain skin cancers on the eyelids or around the eye area.

Premature signs of aging, skin cancer, eye disease, wrinkles, and dark circles.

Over 40% of annual UV exposure is received during conditions when people are not in full sunlight and are less likely to wear eye protection. Complete UV protection on your everyday clear lenses can help protect the long-term health of your eyes.

UV light comes from all directions, reflecting off surrounding surfaces and creating dangerous exposure. The back surface of everyday clear glasses has been found to reflect light coming from the back and sides of the lens, increasing UV light exposure to the eyes. Most sunglasses and clear lenses with higher-quality materials block UV light from transmitting through the front of the lens, but they do not address the UV light reflecting off the back side of the lens. Crizal^® Anti-Glare coating provides protection against backside UV reflection. Ask your eyecare professional about the benefits of Crizal^® Anti-Glare coating.

Properly cleaning your lenses equipped with Crizal^® coating is an important part in maintaining their effectiveness in the long term. While it may be tempting to use paper towels, clothes, or anything else in reach to touch up your lenses throughout the day, these quick fixes don’t provide a true cleaning solution and can even risk damaging your lenses. Instead, use the Crizal^® lens cleaning cloth for touch-up cleaning throughout the day when it is not convenient to wash your lenses.

Periodically, give your lenses a thorough cleaning by following these steps:

1. Rinse under lukewarm running water to remove any sandy/gritty debris.


2. Clean with a mild liquid dishwashing soap to remove facial oils.


3. Rinse with lukewarm water.


4. Dry your lenses with a microfiber lens cloth. Do not use paper towel or tissue.


5. Wash the cloth but do not use softener.

Take note that while the hydrophobic properties of Crizal^® Anti-Glare coating facilitate the removal of smudges, dust, dirt, and fingerprints more easily, the smudges and fingerprints may appear more visible on Crizal^® Anti-Glare coating lenses than on an uncoated lens.

Additional Crizal^® lenses cleaning cloths can be purchased from your eyecare professional.

Eyeglass cleaning cloths can be washed on the gentle cycle in the washer or hand-washed. We recommend that you do not use any laundry additives (such as fabric softener), which could leave a residue on the cloth.

We do not recommend using alcohol.

If you are not able to remove hair spray or paint using the cleaning recommendations found above, we suggest taking your lenses to your eyecare professional for assistance.
