Crizal coating is based on advanced technologies developed to eliminate the 5 enemies of clear vision. These technologies are perfectly integrated and specifically optimized for ophthalmic applications. Even when combined, they ensure a compact, uniform and durable coating, hairline thin.
The following technologies have revolutionized Crizal no-glare lenses:
- the SR-Booster™ reinforces resistance to scratches
- the HSD Process™ (High Surface Density) improves smudge resistance
- the i-Technology™ enables dust repellence
- the Slide-Fx™ ensures that water droplets slide off the lens
1- Glare reduction efficiency
Crizal lenses are made up of a series of thin mineral layers that prevent light interference on the surface of the lens, thus eliminating glare.

2 - Smudge resistance efficiency
The HSD™ Process* optimizes the density of hydrophobic and oleophobic molecules on the surface of the lens. Water and smudges are better repelled and the lens is easier to clean when required.

3 - Scratch resistance efficiency
The introduction of an extra thin layer called the SR Booster™ (Scratch Resistance) optimizes interaction among the different treatment layers, and boosts or strengthens the whole stack. It considerably increases the scratch resistance of the lens.

4 - Dust repellence efficiency
Crizal’s anti-dust efficiency is obtained thanks to i-Technology™, inspired by space technology and fibre optics. It enables the insertion of a transparent conductive layer within the antireflective stack, equipping the lens with antistatic properties that keep it virtually dust free, even after wiping. |

5 - Water repellence efficiency
The integration of a layer of hydrophobic molecules on the surface of a Crizal lens minimizes water adherence. Slide-FX™ technology developed by Essilor shows that calibrated water drops placed on a Crizal lens will roll into tiny balls and simply slide off when the lens is tilted, without a trace.
