ANTI-FOG SOLUTIONS BY ESSILOR
Essilor’s Anti-Fog Solutions portfolio consists of two products: Essilor Anti-Fog AR and Optifog. Essilor Anti-Fog AR is a new product best suited for patients bothered by fog on their lenses due to wearing face masks, where the fog mostly occurs on the back surface of the lens.
“The situation with COVID is that the fog is not caused by environmental factors or work. It comes from an individual wearing a lens,” explains Jeff Harrell, Essilor’s senior director, product marketing. “Ninety percent of that is going to occur on the back surface of the lens. So you need a fog-free solution on both surfaces which allow you to increase the AR properties and improve some of the trade-offs on the front surface of the lens, where a lot of smudges and interactivity with water are going to occur. The fog is going to occur on the back. With Anti-Fog AR, you get a good balance of the AR, the scratch resistance and the cleanability, but also the fog free
that’s going to allow you to see clearly with a mask on. Because it’s a permanent anti-fog solution, the consumer doesn’t need drops or wipes to activate it. It’s a little bit of a different offer for the needs of today.”
Product Highlights:
• Anti-Fog coating on the backside of the lens which repels fog especially when wearing face masks.
• No-Glare coating on the front side of the lens which reduces glare, water, smudges and is easy to clean.
• Permanent solution which does not require wipes or drops for anti-fog activation.
• Best suited for patients bothered by fog on lenses due to wearing face masks.
