As the winter approaches, you can't wait to hit the slopes. You and your friends have tried almost every ski resort in Illinois, from Chestnut Mountain to Four Lakes Village. And you feel ready to try some of the easier black diamond terrain, or at least brush up your skills on the blue square runs.

But as you gather your poles, gloves, boots, and jacket, don't forget to bring your eye protection as well. Photokeratitis presents a real problem to skiers, snowboarders, and snowshoers alike.

What Is Photokeratitis?

The technology breakthrough eliminates compromises in vision for progressive lens wearers, empowering consumers to live with unlimited vision in today’s modern world.

Created from the latest advances in optics and in-depth understanding of human physiology, Essilor introduces Varilux S series, the first progressive lens to offer wearers both equilibrium in motion and wide-angle vision. The Varilux S series is a revolutionary approach to breaking the traditional compromise between a large field of vision and the swim effect that progressive lens wearers were faced with in the past. As our society is in a constant state of change, advanced technologies and new electronic devices are leading to a faster pace of life for individuals and thus, a set of new visual needs. The Varilux S series equips active consumers with the optic technology to live life in today’s modern world to its fullest.
