The highest level of UV protection offered within
the E-SPF® index
E-SPF® is an index rating the overall UV protection of a lens.
E-SPF® was developed by Essilor International and endorsed by third
party experts. The E-SPF® index relates to lens performance only
and excludes direct eye exposure that depends on external factors
(wearer’s morphology, frame shape, position of wear).
The higher the E-SPF Index, the greater the level of UV
protection provided by the lens
