Essilor’s polarized lenses offer a wide range of
designs including Eyezen+ and Varilux, and in a
large array of colours, mirrors and styles to meet
all lifestyles, ages, and prescription needs.
“Simply put,” says Ahier, “We suggest that they
first correct their vision, then protect it in style
and ultimately enhance its clarity.”
At Hoya Vision Care, Hoya Polarized lenses filter
out blinding reflections, leaving a comfortably
clear view with crisp colours and rich contrasts –
exactly what you need in snow or when driving.
With a selection of three colours and an array of
optional mirrored coatings, Hoya Polarized lenses
are a great solution for sun protection and also a
perfect accessory for those who want to make a
clear fashion statement.
“Only polarized sunglass lenses have the
technology required to selectively reduce the
brightness of reflected light rays to a greater degree
than the brightness of surrounding objects,” says
Hoya’s Maria Petrucelli.
Light travels in many directions and it reflects
randomly off shiny surfaces. This glare will
impair quality of vision as perception of colour
and contrast will change. It is clearly noticeable
when looking into a shop window on a sunny day,
when you see reflections in the window rather
than what’s on display.
