Crizal Lenses Explained: Why Anti-Reflection Coating Changes Everything

If you've been annoyed by reflections on your glasses in photographs, glare from oncoming headlights while night driving, or halos around computer screens, the solution is a high-quality anti-reflection coating. Crizal from Essilor is the most advanced AR coating commercially available — stocked at both Vision Plus branches.

The Complete Crizal Range at Vision Plus

• Crizal Easy UV: Entry-level — UV protection, basic AR, noticeable improvement over uncoated lenses. Ideal for children and first-time upgraders
• Crizal Alizé UV: Enhanced smudge resistance and water repellency — lenses shed water rather than smearing. Excellent for Chennai's humidity
• Crizal Forte UV: The most durable coating — excellent scratch resistance. Best for active professionals and frequent outdoor use
• Crizal Prevencia: Premium medical-grade — selectively filters harmful blue-violet light while allowing beneficial blue-turquoise light. Designed for high screen exposure patients and those at risk of macular degeneration

How Long Does Crizal Coating Last?

Standard generic AR coatings degrade within 12-18 months, developing microscopic cracks creating visual interference. Crizal coatings maintain their performance for the full 2-3 year lifespan of a typical pair of spectacles when cleaned correctly — always with a microfibre cloth, never tissues or clothing.
