Understanding Anti-Reflective Coatings

When it comes to enhancing your eyewear experience, an anti-reflective coating (AR coating) can not only improve vision but also transform the appearance of your glasses. These coatings are specially designed to minimize reflections on the surface of your lenses, allowing you to see the world through clear, crisp lenses.

Benefits of Anti-Reflective Coatings

Improved Vision Clarity

Anti-reflective coatings eliminate reflections that can interfere with your vision, particularly in low-light conditions or when using screens. By reducing glare and halos around lights, AR coatings enhance visual acuity and contrast, making it easier to see details clearly.

Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal

Gone are the days of distracting reflections that obscure your eyes behind your glasses. AR coatings make your lenses nearly invisible, allowing others to see your eyes clearly. Whether in person or in photographs, your glasses won’t obstruct your natural appearance.

Better Night Driving

Driving at night can be challenging, especially with headlights and streetlights causing glare. AR coatings significantly reduce glare from these light sources, improving your ability to see the road ahead and enhancing overall safety while driving in low-light conditions.

Reduced Eye Strain

Spending hours in front of screens can strain your eyes due to glare and reflections. AR coatings minimize these issues by reducing reflections from computers, tablets, and smartphones, resulting in more comfortable extended screen use and less eye fatigue.

Types of Anti-Reflective Coatings

Standard Anti-Reflective Coating

This is the most basic form of AR coating. It significantly reduces glare and reflections, making it easier to see in various lighting conditions. If you often find yourself bothered by bright lights or reflections while driving or using screens, this coating is an excellent choice.

Super Hydrophobic Anti-Reflective Coating

For those who prioritize ease of maintenance, the super hydrophobic coating is ideal. This coating reduces glare and also comes with added water resistance.

• Water Repellent: It prevents water droplets from adhering to the lenses, making them easier to clean and maintaining clarity in rainy or humid conditions.
• Dirt Resistance: The hydrophobic surface helps repel dirt and smudges, ensuring your lenses stay cleaner for longer.

Oleophobic Anti-Reflective Coating

If fingerprints and oils are a concern, the oleophobic coating is the premium choice. This coating includes all the features of the standard and super hydrophobic coatings, plus it offers additional benefits.

• Fingerprint Resistance: It effectively repels oils and fingerprints, keeping your lenses looking pristine and reducing the need for frequent cleaning.
• Enhanced Durability: The oleophobic layer adds an extra level of protection, ensuring your lenses withstand daily wear and tear.

Anti-Fog + Anti-Reflective Coating

For those who often experience foggy lenses, especially during temperature changes or physical activities, the anti-fog coating is a game changer.

• Dual-Sided Protection: This coating is applied to both sides of the lenses, ensuring that fogging is minimized from every angle.
• Special Activator Cloth: Each pair of anti-fog coated lenses comes with a unique anti-fog activator lens cloth. This cloth reactivates the anti-fog properties every time you clean your lenses, keeping your vision clear and unobstructed.
