MOMENTS OF EYEZEN
Essilor has launched a new line of eyewear aimed at people who may not even need glasses, but who have eyestrain from so much time spent online. (Millennials, we’re looking at you.) The glasses, available in three age-targeted lens designs, contain a small amount of accommodative relief (add power or magnification). Eyezen lenses also come with an AR coating that selectively filters the harmful blue-violet light emitted by digital devices. Eyezen lenses are available now, with complete pairs (frames and lenses) coming soon. Info: eyezenusa.com.
