iZon® High Resolution Lenses Improve Nighttime Driving Performance
If your current vision correction makes it difficult to see when you drive at night, you are not alone. With conventional glasses and contact lenses, even the so-called perfect vision of 20/20 is reduced to at best 20/50 at night. And as you've most likely experienced for yourself, the glare, halos and starbursts from headlights and streetlights can make nighttime driving a torture test. There has never been anything your eye care practitioner could do to help correct this problem. Until now. iZon Lenses, are an innovative new vision correction technology that can reduce common nighttime distortions such as glare, halos and starbursts.

In nighttime driving tests, using an FDA validated driving simulator, iZon High Resolution Lenses significantly improved nighttime driving performance over conventional glasses. iZon wearers driving at 55 MPH, under glare conditions, were able to detect, recognize and react to a pedestrian in the road on average 20 feet faster*. This represents a significant safety margin, and quite possibly, the difference between life and death.
