Essilor Xperio Lenses help diminish discomfort caused by bright light. Avoid color distortion. Protect your eyes from UV rays and experience comfortable vision.

Xperio UV™ polarized sun lenses provide sharp outdoor color perception all while protecting your eyes with a superior quality lens. A tough, scratch-resistant coating is applied to both sides of the lens, reducing damage to the surface of the lens.

Look for sunglasses that offer 100% UV protection from all UV light (UVA and UVB) or 100% protection against UV 400. If you are uncertain about an older pair of sunglasses, check the level of protection they offer by taking them to an optical shop with a UV light meter.

Xperio Polarised technology enhances daytime driving experience by eliminating blinding glare produced by reflections on wet road surfaces, dashboards and other cars, allowing to better anticipate changes and hazards on the road.

No competition often means higher prices The answer to these high costs, in part, may be due to the market dominance of a single player. EssilorLuxottica is a single company that reported more than $27 billion in revenue for 2019. It makes everything from the lenses to the frames in a pair of glasses.

This coating is designed to improve your vision and meet your lifestyle needs, allowing you to see near to far and everything in between. And all this from just £289. So in our opinion, we think that Essilor lenses are one of the best premium lenses around and lots of our customers think so too.

They are two completely different things. While UV protection sunglasses protect your eyes from harmful sun rays, polarized lenses reduce the glare that causes you to squint in the sunlight.

Damage by UV radiation is commonly the main reason for the discoloration of dyes and pigments, weathering, yellowing of plastics, loss of gloss and mechanical properties (cracking), sun burnt skin, skin cancer, and other problems associated with UV light.

UV rays are involved in the development of cataracts, eye-surface problems like pterygia and pingueculae, and macular degeneration. UV protecting lenses may reduce your risk of developing one of these problems. If you purchase non-prescription sunglasses, make certain that they block 100 percent of the UV rays.

Prolonged exposure to UV rays modifies lens proteins, leading to cataract formation and worsening eyesight. Over time, cataracts can make vision blurry, hazy, or less colorful. Cancers of the eyelid, including basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, are linked to UV exposure.

There are a few instances where polarized lenses are not recommended.

1. When looking at LCD (liquid crystal display) screens such as: car dashboard controls. ATM cash machines. cell phones.
2. When glare or more light might be an advantage: to see ice on roads when driving. to see icy patches when skiing. when driving at night.

This is because polarized lenses block out light that is coming from all directions, including light that is reflected off of surfaces. As a result, polarized sunglasses can make it difficult to see things like small prints or intricate designs.

Essilor is a premium branded lens manufacturer in the optical industry, and they have one of the largest prescription lens portfolios available of all the lens manufacturers. We are proud to offer Essilor as one of our premium lenses.

ZEISS BlueGuard is able to block up to 40% of harmful blue light while Essilor Blue UV Capture is able to block at least 20%. ZEISS BlueGuard is able to block more harmful blue light as compared to Essilor Blue UV Capture.

UV400 sunglasses feature lenses which are capable of filtering out between 99% and 100% of UVA/B rays. This means they are able to appropriately protect your eyes, blocking wavelengths up to 400 nanometres.

Polarized lenses will not protect your eyes from UV damage more than standard 100% UV lenses. However, they can give you clearer, more accurate vision and alleviate some eye strain. If you find yourself squinting a lot, even when you're wearing sunglasses, consider investing in polarized sunglasses.
