Crizal Natural Look: Essilor’s New Anti-Reflective Coating for Clearer Lenses
Reflections on glasses can interfere with vision, but they can also obscure your eyes. Even with a conventional anti-reflective coating, some reflections remain visible depending on the lighting conditions and viewing angle.
**Now available in France, Crizal Natural Look is Essilor’s new premium anti-reflective coating.**
It aims to make reflections less noticeable, creating more discreet lenses and allowing your eyes to look more natural.
At **The House of Eyewear, an Essilor Expert optician in Paris’s 1st arrondissement**, we introduce you to this innovation and its benefits for your prescription glasses.
What Is Essilor Crizal Natural Look?
Crizal Natural Look is a premium anti-reflective coating designed to reduce the visibility of reflections on prescription lenses.
Its distinctive feature lies in a new technology developed by Essilor: *Advanced Aesthetic Technology*.
This innovation aims to make residual reflections less noticeable, particularly when lenses are viewed from different angles.
As a result, the lenses appear more transparent, allowing your eyes to be seen more clearly.
Crizal Natural Look combines these aesthetic benefits with the protective and durability features of the premium Crizal range.
Why Are Reflections on Glasses a Problem?
Les reflets apparaissent lorsque la lumière rencontre la surface des verres.
They can come from windows, indoor lighting or other light sources. Their visibility varies depending on the environment and the position of your face.
In addition to sometimes affecting visual comfort, reflections can partially obscure your eyes.
According to a 2025 Ipsos study cited in Essilor’s documentation:
- **74% of surveyed spectacle wearers** say they are bothered by reflections on their lenses when looking at screens.
- **54% of surveyed spectacle wearers** are looking for reflection-free lenses to enjoy clear vision.
These figures relate to a study population of non-presbyopic spectacle wearers aged 18 to 45 in France, Italy and China.
These figures highlight the importance of anti-reflective coatings when choosing glasses.
How Does Crizal Natural Look Technology Work?
An anti-reflective coating consists of several extremely thin layers applied to the surface of the lens.
These layers help reduce light reflections and provide various protective properties.
With Crizal Natural Look, Essilor introduces its Advanced Aesthetic Technology to make residual reflections less noticeable.
The Benefits of Crizal Natural Look
Enhanced aesthetic transparency is the main innovation of Crizal Natural Look. However, the coating also retains the practical benefits expected from a premium anti-reflective coating.
Lenses That Are Easier to Clean
These properties make everyday cleaning easier by reducing the build-up of smudges, dust and water droplets.
To help preserve your lenses, use a clean microfibre cloth and a suitable lens cleaning solution.

Advanced Scratch Resistance
Essilor incorporates its advanced resistance technologies, developed for premium lens coatings, into Crizal Natural Look.
These technologies help protect the lenses during everyday handling.
However, no coating can make lenses completely scratch-proof.
Protection Against Reflected UV Rays
Crizal Natural Look also provides protection against UV rays reflected from the back surface of the lenses.
This feature complements the protective properties of your chosen lenses but does not replace suitable sun protection.
