DALLAS – June 30, 2020 – As consumers adjust to new norms, they are increasingly looking to their eyecare providers for answers to bothersome issues including foggy lenses while wearing face masks. To aid ECPs in addressing this growing need for clear vision while wearing face masks, Essilor, the world’s leading lens manufacturer, is launching Essilor® Anti-Fog Solutions today, June 30, 2020. Providing comfortable, uninterrupted vision to wearers, the Essilor Anti-Fog Solutions portfolio will consist of two products: Essilor® Anti-Fog AR and Optifog®.
“New ways of life introduce new challenges which demand real solutions,” says Sherianne James, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President of Customer Engagement at Essilor of America. “Consumers across the country are looking for solutions to their fogging lenses, and Essilor will help our ECP customers provide that solution to their patients.”
On April 3, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control issued a statement recommending that people wear a cloth face covering in community settings to help slow the spread of COVID-19. In fact, in some localities, wearing a face mask in social settings has been mandated by law. Over the past weeks and months, demand for solutions to troublesome fog on lenses has skyrocketed, with related searches on Google soaring to historical levels. With the launch of Essilor Anti-Fog Solutions, ECPs will have access to true technologies to address this patient need.
