Crizal Technology

Crizal lenses are created with a state-of-the-art, 8-step manufacturing process that fuses 2-sided scratch resistance with anti-reflective properties and hydrophobic technology into the lens itself for unparalleled durability and performance.

Step 1: Automated lens cleaning Ultrasonic cleaning ensures excellent bonding between lens and anti-scratch elements, and prevents cracking.
Step 2: Two-sided scratch resistance Glass-like silica particles ensure lens hardness. Polymer matrix ensures lens flexibility.
Step 3: Hi-energy surface control High-energy particles bombard lens in vacuum chamber, ensuring a proper bond between anti-reflective and scratch-resistant technologies.
Step 4: Anti-particulate layer This step ensures that dirt, dust, and even oil are not attracted to the lens after wiping. It actually causes the lens to repel these particles.
Step 5: Anti-reflective technology Diamond-like zirconium oxide on both sides of the lens maximizes light transmission with increased toughness while reducing unwanted reflections.
Step 6: Pad Control System™ A patented step in the process that ensures proper edging of the lens.
Step 7: Hydrophobic properties A hydrophobic process reduces adhesion of grease and water stains, while vacuum chamber application ensures adhesion and dual-sided ease of cleaning.
Step 8: Systematic quality control Every product is batch tested for scratch resistance, adhesion integration, and clarity. Every lens meets rigorous Essilor quality standards.
Results: Engineered to last A Crizal lens is an integrated system of 2-sided scratch resistance, anti-reflective and hydrophobic technologies, giving you unsurpassed performance and durability.
