EyeQLenz offers a host of features and benefits, including:

• Anti-infrared Technology: EyeQLenz introduces an anti-infrared coating that acts as a barrier, protecting your eyes and the delicate skin surrounding them from infrared rays and premature aging. This innovative feature ensures that you can enjoy the sunshine without compromising your eye health or skin's youthfulness.
• Complete UV Protection: blocks out 100% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, offering complete protection from the sun's most damaging effects.
• Blue-Light Blocking: By filtering out blue light emitted by digital devices, EyeQLenz helps reduce eye strain and promote better sleep, making digital screen time safer and more comfortable.
• Light Adaptive: The lenses quickly adjust their tint when moving between indoor and outdoor environments, providing optimal vision and comfort in any setting.
• Advanced Coverage, Smart Choice: These lenses come with a scratch-resistant, water-repellent, and anti-reflective coating, ensuring your glasses withstand the rigors of daily use.

"With a product like EyeQLenz, Zenni is furthering its mission to make eye care more seamless and accessible for everyone," said Dr. Steven Lee, Head of Optical Product at Zenni. "This innovative lens integrates multi-spectrum technology [anti-infrared coating, blue light and UV blocking] to effortlessly protect your eyes in all lighting conditions for long-term health and vitality – all at an unbeatable price point."
