Revolutionary lenses at Visique Botany

In today’s increasingly digital world our eyes are exposed to higher levels of blue-violet light than ever before, which could be causing irreversible damage to our retinal cells.

Blue-violet light is present in all LED and fluorescent light sources and enters our eyes mainly through computer screens, smartphones and televisions - meaning office workers and the tech-savvy younger generation are particularly at risk.

This issue is compounded further by the sun’s ever-present UV rays - which are a risk all year round and can just as easily ravage your eyesight as they can your skin.

Luckily, if you wear glasses there is an easy way to reduce the blue-violet and UV light that enters your eyes - simply by wearing Crizal Prevencia prescription lenses.

Created by renowned French eye care specialists Essilor, the lenses selectively filter light to help prevent premature ageing of eyes and to reduce the risk of developing agerelated conditions such as macular degeneration and cataracts.

Crizal lenses are the only lenses approved by the Cancer Society in New Zealand and Australia, with an Eye-Sun Protection Factor (E-SPF) rating of 25+ - so anyone wearing the lenses will receive 25 times more protection than the naked eye.

Visique Botany Optometrists is a proud stockist of these lenses, with highly qualified optometrist David Lee choosing to wear them himself.

‘‘I think it’s great how they help protect eyes from dangerous UV rays and blue-violet light and cannot recommend them highly enough,’’ David explains.

What’s more, the transparent lenses are very durable and ensure optimal vision by providing protection against reflections, scratches, smudges, dust and water.

For more information on Crizal lenses contact David and his friendly team on 274 9839.
