EyeQLenz™ with Zenni ID Guard™ goes beyond a traditional lens design to deliver cutting-edge broad-spectrum defense in one advanced lens. While most standard lenses only offer basic UV protection, and others require you to choose between blue light filtering or photochromic technology, our all-in-one lens seamlessly combines them all. Imagine having the convenience of lenses that adapt from virtually clear indoors to protective sunglasses outdoors, all while providing continuous protection from UV rays, blue light, and infrared light.

EyeQLenz™ with Zenni ID Guard™ is one comprehensive lens solution that brings together two key components:

• The lens: A photochromic lens that automatically adapts to changing light conditions, blocks 100% of UV rays, filters blue light, and reflects a portion of near-infrared light (thanks to the Zenni ID Guard™ coating).
• The coating: Zenni ID Guard™, an advanced infrared-reflecting coating that boosts near-infrared shielding up to 80%. This targets the same wavelengths used in some facial recognition systems and sunlight. The Zenni ID Guard™ coating can also be added to many of our other popular lenses (learn more here).

With EyeQLenz™ with Zenni ID Guard™, you get all these benefits—100% UV blocking, blue light filtering, our maximum near-infrared protection, and seamless light adaptation—in one lens. It is the most complete eye protection solution we offer.

Yes! As photochromic lenses, EyeQLenz™ with Zenni ID Guard™ adapts to different lighting conditions, making them your all-in-one solution for comprehensive protection. The lenses remain virtually clear when indoors while filtering blue light from digital screens. When exposed to UV light outdoors, they darken to provide broad-spectrum shielding from sunlight and infrared light. The pink sheen provides an additional layer of infrared defense. Please note that the lenses will not darken while driving, as some car windshields have built-in UV protection.

EyeQLenz™ with Zenni ID Guard™ shields your eyes from the following light sources:

• UVA/UVB rays (100-400nm): 100% blockage
• Full blue light spectrum (400-500nm): 32.5% filtered 
• Near-infrared rays (700-1000nm): 80.44% reflected

Infrared (IR) light is present in many aspects of our daily environment, from natural sunlight to various tracking systems that can capture our data without our consent through different technologies. While invisible to the naked eye, infrared rays can potentially affect eye health over time. Studies suggest that prolonged exposure to IR light may contribute to various eye concerns. The Zenni ID Guard™ anti-infrared coating reflects approximately 80% of near-infrared light. This means your lenses have an advanced coating technology that works alongside other protective features like UV blocking and blue light filtering to deliver broad-spectrum protection.Infrared radiation and cataractCataract Formation by Near-infrared Radiation

The pink sheen is an element of the special Zenni ID Guard™ anti-infrared coating on the EyeQLenz and is your visible sign of the lens at work. This distinctive pink sheen is unique and serves as an added layer to reflect infrared light from the sun and helps to disrupt unwanted tracking. Rest assured, this characteristic doesn't affect your vision clarity or significantly change how your glasses look when you're wearing them—it's simply evidence of the comprehensive protection at work.

EyeQLenz™ with Zenni ID Guard™ 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.

EyeQLenz™ with Zenni ID Guard™ are virtually clear indoors and darken into vibrant photochromic tints when exposed to sunlight. The available outdoor tint colors are:

• Gray
• Red
• Pink
• Purple
• Blue
• Brown
• Green

These color options allow you to customize your look while helping defend your eyes from sunlight and infrared light. Whether you prefer a classic gray, a bold red, or a trendy pink, EyeQLenz™ with Zenni ID Guard™ has a color option to match your personal style!

Because EyeQLenz with Zenni ID Guard reflects most near-infrared light, it may disrupt features like facial log-in that rely on infrared detection. You may need to remove the glasses for these features to work properly. This is an indicator that the anti-IR coating is working as intended.

Blokz® lenses focus on filtering blue light from screens, while EyeQLenz™ with Zenni ID Guard™ provides comprehensive shielding against UV, blue light, and infrared light, featuring adaptive technology for seamless transition in varying light conditions.
