Essilor, a global leader in ophthalmic optics, continues its commitment to visual health. In 2013, it launched the first preventive lenses that selectively protect against harmful blue light, one of the risk factors for retinal cell degeneration, as well as UV light, which is involved in the development of cataracts. Prevention, which involves protecting the eye against harmful light, is now the primary defense against these global threats known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts.
A neologism imbued with softness, Prevencia highlights the concept of prevention and anticipation against the harmful effects of blue light, with the ending -cia evoking the color cyan.
