Did you know that wearing No-Glare lenses while driving at night gives you:
- 20% sharper contrast so a driver can see objects clearly1 2 3
- Up to 5 seconds faster recovery time and 30% wider fields of vision for safety4 5
And that is why 70% of wearers prefer No-Glare lenses for comfortable and safer nighttime driving.
As light decreases, so does your ability to differentiate objects and recover from glare. This becomes especially difficult in situations such as night driving. Crizal® No-Glare lenses allow you more opportunity to drive safely by improving contrast, visual acuity, fields of vision and reaction time.
No-Glare lenses allow the wearer to recover up to 5 seconds faster to full vision after being exposed to extreme glare such as headlights. In a study conducted with Highway Patrol troopers, 89% of troopers chose No-Glare lenses over ordinary lenses as their overall preferred lens for glare reduction. 4 5
Explanation of contrast sensitivity and visual acuity
- Contrast sensitivity is special way to measure vision and represents the ability of your eyes to function in low and bright light conditions, as well as how well you can distinguish objects against various background colors. Visual Acuity refers to spatial resolution or the capacity for the patient to see different sized letters.
- Visual acuity refers to your acuteness or clearness of vision as size of objects (letters) vary. The Snellen Chart, commonly called the Big E chart measures visual acuity.
