Essilor Eyezen lenses are designed to reduce digital eye strain for individuals who spend extended periods on digital devices. The lenses feature an accommodative boost in the lower part of the lens, which helps alleviate the strain caused by focusing on close-up screens [1][3].
2. Blue Light Protection
Eyezen lenses incorporate blue-violet light filtering technology, which helps protect the eyes from the harmful effects of blue light emitted by digital screens. This feature is particularly beneficial for digital lens wearers who are exposed to digital devices throughout the day, as it helps reduce the risk of digital eye strain and potential long-term damage to the eyes.
3. Improved Visual Comfort

The lenses are designed with Essilor’s DualOptim™ technology, which optimizes the entire lens surface for both distance and near vision. This ensures that wearers experience clear and comfortable vision regardless of where they are looking through the lens. This is especially useful for digital lens users who need to switch between different focal points frequently [2].
4. Customizable Accommodative Relief
Eyezen lenses are available in different levels of accommodative relief, tailored to the specific needs of the wearer based on their age and visual requirements. This customization ensures that digital lens wearers receive the appropriate level of support for their near vision tasks, enhancing overall visual comfort and reducing fatigue [1][3].
5. Compatibility with Other Lens Technologies
Eyezen lenses are compatible with various lens enhancements such as Crizal coatings, Transitions, and lens tinting options. This allows multifocal lens wearers to enjoy additional benefits such as anti-glare, UV protection, and adaptive tinting, further enhancing their visual experience and comfort [2][4].
6. Postural Benefits
By optimizing the lens for different viewing distances, Eyezen lenses help improve posture by reducing the need for wearers to adjust their head and neck positions to see clearly. This can lead to a more relaxed and comfortable posture, reducing the risk of neck and shoulder strain, which is particularly beneficial for digital lens users who spend long hours at a desk or using digital devices [2].
In summary, Essilor Eyezen lenses provide digital lens wearers with enhanced digital eye strain relief, blue light protection, improved visual comfort, customizable accommodative relief, compatibility with other lens technologies, and postural benefits. These features make Eyezen lenses an excellent add-on to the eyewear lifestyle of individuals who rely heavily on digital devices.
