Real people. Real problems. Real solutions.

DISTANCE AND DIRT

NAME: Emily T.
AGE: 12
OCCUPATION: Student
ACTIVITIES: Horseback riding
VISUAL NEED: Distance and blurred vision

—Problems: Emily had difficulty seeing far away which was compounded by blurred vision due to an astigmatism. One result? She confused letters like H and M, making reading and learning quite challenging.

—Solution: Polycarbonate lenses with an anti-reflective (AR) treatment, like Essilor Junior lenses. Impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses are lighter and safer than standard plastic, and the AR will protect the lenses from dirt and dust, and help sharpen her vision outdoors when she's riding.

READING ONLINE

NAME: Grace K.
AGE: 45
OCCUPATION: Editor
ACTIVITIES: Reading, writing, and hiking
VISUAL NEED: Seeing clearly at multiple distances

—Problems: As an editor, Grace is at a computer seven hours a day, and has trouble switching between her screen and printed pages. When hiking, she wants to see the terrain underfoot as well as the trail ahead.

—Solution: Progressive lenses with anti-reflective (AR) treatment, like Varilux lenses and Crizal with Scotchgard Protector, help Grace see near, far, and everywhere in between. And the AR treatment cuts computer-screen glare and keeps Grace's eyes from getting tired. It also cuts uncomfortable reflections from overhead lights at work and even from puddles when she's hiking.

LIGHT SENSITIVE

NAME: Mike S.
AGE: 31
OCCUPATION: Coach
ACTIVITIES: An outdoor sports enthusiast
VISUAL NEED: Very light sensitive

—Problems: Halos, blind spots, and floaters—stress on the eyes that can lead to more serious vision problems.

—Solution: Polarized lenses, like Xperio lenses from Essilor. Whether Mike spends his time waterskiing or boating, in-line skating or mountain biking, driving or jogging, polarized sun lenses are the right choice to help him enjoy his life outdoors. By limiting the type of light that enters the eyes, polarization provides a level of light management that ordinary sun lenses don't. Polarized lenses contain a special filter that blocks intense reflected light, reducing glare so Mike's eyes are more comfortable outdoors and he can see better.
