Has anyone used Eyezen by Essilor? is it basically just a pair of plano blue light blocking lenses?
have not tried it yet but I talked to a rep about it. Its sorta like the sync 5/8. Its for the "millennial" crowd that are stuck to their devices all day. Its like a baby progressive, it has a .4 .6 or .8 bump of add at the bottom to reduce eye strain and apparently it has blue light blocker embedded in it as either a film or a coating or something.

I know this is a slight jump off topic but I have a conundrum related to this design.
So I have a patient, 10yo female violinist who has a mid power RX (-3.00 -.5/-2.00 -1.25) with a +1.00 add for convergence issues. I have tried since last July to get her to wear the RX as needed but she is far too image centric to ever wear a flat top. Well she came in on my day off finally admitting that she needed the proper RX as she couldn't see the violin, my associate at the time tried her best but the parent and patient decided on a budget PAL (Essilor Shoreview). I am very concerned about this, I contacted another optician in my company and she suggested this lens. I contacted the prescribing Dr as well and he seems to believe this would work.
Please lend my thine honest and informed thoughts on my problematic patient?

I'm not crazy about putting children in PAL's either, but Shoreview is probably the best budget lens on the market. Luckily it's only a 1.00 add, fairly a generous corridor width compared to say a +2.50 add.
It's similar to Zeiss Digital Lenses. Marketed as a form of Anti fatigue lensOriginally Posted by jakedt11
Zeiss Digital comes in a +0.50 add - +1.25 add
This lens is not just for millennial's or anti-fatigue, but for myopes who have a low add(i.e. 0.75-1.00) that do not need any intermediate and children.
Im curious how these compare to Hoya's Anti fatigue lens(Active 8) and Nikon's Relax Se, I know eyezen has more add power options but besides that is the design similar?
This is a candidate for a round seg bifocal........almost invisible, cheap, and manipulate-able for positioning sideways for head angle(instrument specific).
Or.........soft multifocal soft contact lenses for the special snowflake in all of us!

No 'violinist' needs to see their violin.

Perhaps a 10 year old thinks she does! I'm sure the term "violinist" is being used as loosely as the term "optician" is used around here!

Violinist, one who plays the violin? No need to belittle a 10 year old who cant read her music sheet.

That was my point! It's just a kid...

My apologies, I must have misinterpreted what you wrote.

Just signed up on Eyezen.
This is...finally...a category of lenses for all those who have previously pined "I wish I needed glasses" because they wanted to participate in the new awareness of the importance of fashion in today's eyewear.
Instead of plano lenses replacing the acrylic samples, Eyezen 0.4D with a blue-attenuating coating makes perfect sense.
There is a real benefit to offer here!
Get going!

Digital Eye Strain = Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS).
Accommodative Relief = Marketing (for healthy eyes).
Blue Light Filters = Primarily marketing.
Potential treatments for CVS
Potential therapeutic interventions for patients with symptoms of CVS can be divided into three main areas namely:
(1) Refractive and accommodative disorders
(2) Vergence anomalies
(3) Dry eye

Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself. - Richard P. Feynman
Experience is the hardest teacher. She gives the test before the lesson.
Just spoke to a rep. There is going to be two types of Eyezen lenses. The first one is just a plano blue blocking lens. It comes in 3 forms with a baby add of .4, .6 and .85. The rep said the add is supposed to be determined by the patient's age. This lens comes with its own AR and cant be changed
The second type will be called Eyezen+, which will be lenses with the blue blocking material that can be made to the patient's rx. The rep said that eventually all digital lenses will be made with the blue blocking material and can be added with any anti reflective coating.

Yeah they do, especially young ones who are still learning finger placement. She may also need a little help with the music stand. BTW, my daughter was in PALs at age 12 with no adverse issues.
ADD by age? That's a new one...
Not really new...
Im only repeating what was explained to me today by the rep. She was here to promote Essilor's Power of Three or Power of Vision promotion they are doing from April through September and said the National launch of Eyezen & Eyezen+ would be in April. Couldn't get any info packets on the lens until then. But I did find it odd that you are going to not only promote this blue blocker lens but then recommend a blue blocking coating on top of it? Overkill much?

I'm just not sure I buy that chart is all that worthwhile. If it's that accurate, why bother with measuring ADD power?Not really new...

Eyezen lenses: relaxing eyes to help protect visual health
Digital devices and usages are increasing the demands on our eyes. Closer and variable reading distances, smaller and more pixelated characters and longer exposure to screen glare are causing tired eyes and potentially exposing our eyes to the longer-term consequences of harmful blue-violet light. As many as three out of four people feel that they suffer from visual fatigue.

Its a known guideline, originally formulated by Donders.
Barry
It is based on Donder's chart that is based upon "average" reading distance of 40cm. Further or shorter
distances would be different, thus the need for actual measuring/testing.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.
