1. (NU) - Sponsored News - Just
when you are getting used to hav-
ing your children home for the
summer, you realize -- it’s already
almost time to send them back to
school. So you schedule appoint-
ments and check-ups, but one thing
that often goes unchecked is a
child’s vision.
Did you know 80 percent of a
child’s learning is done through
their eyes? And yet, according to
the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, 35 percent of
children have never seen an eye
care professional, making vision
impairment one of the most
prevalent disabling conditions
among children in the U.S. This
is one reason why experts agree
it is imperative to get a child’s
eyes checked yearly and equip
them with glasses as needed.
For those who already wear
glasses, seeing your eyecare pro-
fessional is a necessity. Children’s
lenses encounter everything from
fingerprints to scratches, and even
harsh glare.These issues can make
it harder for kids to see the world
and more challenging for them to
keep their glasses clean. Looking
through obstructed lenses can
cause tired, strained eyes.
To help children see better --
knowing that better vision leads to
a better life, Essilor is doing its part
to help kids focus and concentrate
in school with the Crizal for Kids
portfolio. Crizal Kids UV lenses
include smudge-resistant technol-
ogy that makes them easy to clean,
and the no-glare technology
reduces glare from fluorescent
lights, whiteboards and computer
screens to prevent tired eyes and
headaches. The lenses are also
long-lasting, made with safe,
durable, and scratch- and impact-
resistant Airwear polycarbonate
material to help them withstand
even the most intense recess ses-
sions. Crizal also offers an unlim-
ited lens replacement warranty for
the life of the lens prescription.
Studies show children spend
significantly more time outdoors
than adults, which increases their
exposure to the most powerful
source of ultraviolet (UV) rays
and blue light: the sun. Couple
this with LED screens (tablets,
smartphones, and computers)
both at school and home, and
children’s eyes are exposed far
more frequently and at an earlier
age to harmful rays that could
damage their eyes permanently.
To help reduce children’s eye
exposure to UV rays, Crizal Kids
UV lenses have both front and
backside UV protection. Wearing
Crizal Kids UVlenses can provide
25 times more protection from UV
light than if they wore no lenses at
all. For all the benefits of Crizal
Kids UV, plus additional protec-
tion from harmful Blue Light emit-
ted by digital devices, ask about
Crizal Prevencia Kids.
