EyeQLenz™ with Zenni ID Guard

EyeQLenz™ is available in single vision, standard/premium progressive options, and non-prescription options. Currently, we do not offer these lenses in reader or bifocal prescriptions.

Yes! As photochromic lenses, EyeQLenz will adapt to different lighting conditions so you can wear the same pair of glasses both indoors and outdoors. The lenses remain clear when indoors and filter blue light from digital screens. When exposed to UV light outdoors, the lenses will darken to a gray sunglass tint to protect from sunlight and infrared light.

The lenses remain clear when indoors. When exposed to UV light outdoors, the lenses will darken to a gray tint to protect from sunlight and infrared light. Please note that the lenses will not darken while driving as cars already contain UV protection on the windshield.

Anti-infrared coating on lenses reduces the impact of infrared (IR) light on both the eyes and the delicate skin around them. Protection from infrared light may help protect your eyes from the possible development of cataracts from prolonged exposure. Our anti-IR coating also protects skin by helping reduce the heat-induced damage caused by IR rays, contributing to the overall well-being of the skin around your eyes.

You can clean these lenses as you would with any other pair of glasses by using a spray and lens cloth. If you’re looking for a great lens cleaning kit, we recommend our Wash & Dry kit which comes with an isopropyl alcohol spray and mini microfiber cloth. For quick cleaning convenience, we also have pre-moistened wipes with a new and improved ammonia-free solution that removes smudges and dirt without leaving residue.

EyeQLenz shields your eyes from the following light sources:

• UVA/UVB Rays (100-400nm): 100% blockage
• High Energy Visible Blue Light (400-450nm): 51.33% blockage
• Full Blue Light Spectrum (400-500nm): 32.5% blockage
• Harmful Infrared Rays (780-1100nm): 61.6% blockage

Infrared (IR) radiation, accounting for about 40% of solar energy reaching the Earth, manifests as heat and penetrates into the skin. This heat can act as a physical catalyst, potentially damaging DNA in skin cells and accelerating the degradation of collagen and elastin. Consequently, IR radiation may contribute to premature aging of the skin. For more information, read our educational blog here.

IR radiation may contribute to thermal damage and cataract formation in the eyes by increasing temperature in the anterior chamber, leading to lens opacification. Protecting eyes with Zenni's EyeQLenz, which blocks UV and IR radiation, may mitigate these risks. For more information, read our educational blog here.

The pink sheen on your lenses comes from the anti-infrared coating, designed to protect your eyes from infrared radiation as part of Zenni's commitment to safeguarding eye health against various light sources.

Infrared radiation (IR) can have both harmful and therapeutic effects on the skin, depending on exposure and conditions. While controlled IR exposure may promote skin rejuvenation and wound healing, IR may cause issues like thermal burns and premature aging. As research continues, it's vital to understand and manage IR exposure, especially concerning delicate areas like the eyes. EyeQLenz from Zenni offers advanced anti-infrared properties to protect the eyes from IR light, ensuring long-term eye health and vitality. Check out this educational blog for more information.

For an enhanced experience with photochromic lenses, we suggest opting for larger frame sizes. This choice elevates the sunglasses effect by maximizing protection against UV and IR rays, safeguarding a greater area of your skin. The larger the surface area covered, the more comprehensive the protection. For more information on what frames look best with EyeQLenz, check out this informational blog.

EyeQLenz distinguishes itself with comprehensive protection against UV, blue light, and infrared exposure, alongside innovative light-adapting technology. This ensures clear, comfortable vision in varying light conditions, offering a level of safety and convenience beyond normal glasses lenses. Check out this informational blog for more details.
