EyeProtect System™

Filtering system to protect eyes from UV and blue-violet light
Trägt zur allgemeinen Gesundheit der Augen bei: reduziert Risikofaktoren im Zusammenhang mit schädlichem Licht*
Lenses remain clear looking through them and at them
Protects eyes from UVA and UVB rays

Integrierte Innovation

Unsichtbare UV-Strahlung und sichtbares blaues Licht können die Entstehung von Augenerkrankungen begünstigen. Schädliches Licht ist überall, z.B. im Freien (Sonne) und in Innenräumen (Beleuchtung, digitale Geräte).

• Präventive und schützende Brillengläser hatten bislang entweder blaue Reflexionen und/oder eine gelbliche Tönung oder sie filterten auch den Teil des blauen Lichts (blau-türkis), der u.a. für die Funktionsfähigkeit des Biorhythmus wichtig ist.

Eye Protect System kombiniert den innovativen Smart Blue Filter mit der bewährten Crizal UV Veredelung.

Smart Blue Filter: reduziert wirksam schädliches Licht im blau-violetten Wellenlängenbereich

Crizal UV Veredelung: minimiert UV-Reflexionen von der Glasrückseite ins Auge

(2)In vitro photobiology experiments conducted by Essilor and Paris Vision Institute. Primary retinal pigment epithelium cells were photosensitised with A2E, a major component of the age pigment lipofuscin. These cells were then exposed for 18 hours to 10 nm illumination bands centered from 390 to 520 nm in 10 nm increments (+ illumination band centered at 630 nm). To mimic physiological light conditions, light irradiances were moderate and normalised with respect to the natural sunlight reaching the retina. (Arnault et al., 2013 PLOs One).

(3)Blue-Violet light photo-protective potency is measured or calculated. Measurements are done through in vitro photobiology experiments conducted by Essilor and a 3rd party. Photosensitized RPE (Retinal Pigment Epithelium) cells are exposed to Blue-Violet light, reproducing the physiological exposure to sunlight of the 40 year old eye. Calculation model is using an interpolation method of spectral data between 400 and 455nm. This model has been designed thanks to correlation between spectral measurements and in vitro test results on outer retina cells, with a dispersion of 5%. For Eye Protect System™ lenses with Crizal Forte® UV coating, 25% (+/-5%) decrease in light-induced retinal cell death versus no filter. For standard lenses: 1.5 or Poly material with Crizal Forte® UV coating, about 7% decrease.
