Innotica protects eye health

The continual increase in pollution levels and excessive carbon monoxide (CO2) emissions have led to a depletion of the ozone layer, which used to filter out the strong ultraviolet rays. So, unfortunately, it's true to say that 'the sun isn't what it was'. The UV rays in solar radiation are invisible to the human eye and they are not perceived by nerve endings, but precisely because they can't be seen or felt can lead to serious damage of the eyes, if they are not suitably protected.

To increase the level of protection, Inottica has produced and registered O.ZONE lenses, which it will mount in the new season's frames due to be presented in Paris next week. O.ZONE is a genuine step ahead for a continuously serious and safety-oriented company that operates in the optics sector for children.

Prevention from an early age is essential for protecting the health of our children's eyes, although not everyone is aware that sight continues to develop from birth to about seven or eight years of age.

The technical characteristics of the O.ZONE lenses by Inottica:

•100% UV Protection - to guarantee maximum protection from UV-A and UV-B rays
•polycarbonate - for greater resistance to scratching and shock
•multilayer internal antireflection - for sharper, brighter and perfectly defined color vision and for completely eliminating the reflections that are harmful for the eyes.

Sunglasses with UV filters in the lenses are certainly not a luxury, they are a necessity, especially nowadays with the gradual depletion of the ozone layer.

All Inottica glasses with O.ZONE lenses will be certified by an Optical Products Certification Institute (EN 1836:2005 standard for solar filters).
