Cizal Forte UV

Solusi Terbaru: Perlindungan UV Dari Depan dan Belakang Lensa

Kebanyakan lensa kacamata saat ini sebenarnya telah mampu menghalau sinar UV dari arah depan lensa. Namun sampai saat ini, bahkan kacamata terbaik pun, belum mampu melindungi mata dari bahaya sinar UV yang datang dari setiap sisi serta belakang lensa dimana 50% bahaya sinar UV berasal dari arah tersebut.

Inovasi Essilor dengan menghadirkan lapisan anti-refleksi terbaru di permukaan belakang lensa – Broad Spectrum Technology - mampu meredam pantulan sinar UV sambil tetap mempertahankan kejernihan lensa. Kehadiran lensa terbaru dari Essilor, Crizal Forte UV menjadi terobosan yang memberikan dampak positif pada kejelasan penglihatan dan kesehatan mata setiap individu, apapun kebutuhannya setiap waktu.

World Sight Day 2011

World Sight Day is observed around the world by all partners involved in preventing visual impairment or restoring sight.

UV-Related Facts

• During the summer months, the level of ultraviolet radiation is three times greater than in the winter.
• Reflected sunlight off water, snow and pavement can be the most dangerous type of UV light because it is intensified.
• Of the 20 million people with cataracts, an estimated 20% of these cases may be due to UV-rays.
• Every year 3.2 million people go blind from eye conditions caused due to prolonged UV exposure.

 

What should you do?

Have fun in the sun, but remember to protect your eyes!

• To protect your eyes, wear the right kind of sunglasses and a broad-rimmed hat whenever stepping outside, even when it is overcast. Don’t be fooled by a cloudy day, as the sun’s rays can still inflict damage through the clouds.
• Ask your eye care professional. Sunglasses don’t necessarily mean UV protection. It is a myth that tinted glasses or all sunglasses protect you from UV exposure. UV protection is not a function of the color of the lens but of the material used or treatment applied. Therefore some clear lenses can protect you from harmful UV exposure too.
• Wear sunglasses that block 100 percent of UV-A and UV-B rays. To check whether your eyewear provides the necessary UV protection, have your eye care professional measure your lenses for UV absorption. The UV meter takes only a few seconds to read and will ensure that you have appropriate UV protective eyewear.
• Don’t forget protection for the kids. Children are more vulnerable to dangerous UV rays and it is especially important for them to wear hats and sunglasses. Keep children away from the sun between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. when the sun’s ultraviolet rays are the strongest.
