Normally, lenses without an anti reflective coating reflect ±7% of the visible light, so that only 93% of the remaining visible light reaches our eyes. Those remaining 7% of reflections are considered as “false light” to our eyes. These reflections can be unpleasant, but during driving in obscurity even as dangerous. Crizal A2 is a state-of-art anti reflective coating on organic lenses of Essilor. Crizal A2 is composed as a number of different layers, each with a certain purpose.
Because of this, the reflections are reduced to less than 1%, and the remaining 99% of light ends up undisturbed in the eye, so that glasses with this innovative coating produce a natural and picture-sharp image. Crizal A2 is a new, specially developed Top Coat by Essilor. Beside that A2 is as hard as a rock, it also ensure a unique surface with water and dirt repelling properties and is entirely anti-static. Because of this, dust, dirt and grease just won’t attach to this remarkably smooth surface. Your lenses will remain beautifully clean, and more important: they’re simply easy to clean!
