An Introduction to Lens Coatings

There are a number of different lens coatings to consider when upgrading your eyewear. These include:
 
Scratch Resistant Coating

·        This coating reinforces your lenses, making your glasses much more resistant to scratches.
·        Ideal for children’s eyewear.
·        Let your optometrist know you want this type of coating ahead of time, as it doesn’t come with all glasses.
·        This coating won’t completely protect the lenses from all types of scratches so keep them in a case when you aren’t using them.
·        Readerwear sells scratch resistant safety glasses here
 
Anti Reflective Coating

·        These lenses have a series of layers that block reflected light which reduces glare.
·        Great for night driving.
·        Eyes are more visible because lenses are thinner.
·        Creates a nicer cosmetic appearance.
·        Fine scratches are more visible.
·        Also can prevent water spots from forming and repel oils from the skin.
 
Ultra Violet Treatment

·        Works like sunscreen for your eyes by blocking out harmful UV rays.
·        Polycarbonate, photochromic lenses and high index plastics have this feature built in.
·        Exposure to UV light can lead to retinal damage, cataracts or other eye problems.
·        Readerwear’s sunglasses all feature UV protection, like this pair. 
 
Anti Fog Coating

·        This coating eliminates moisture build up on the lens.
·        Can be applied to literally any type of glasses, including transition lenses.
·        Good for sports and situations you will be sweating.
·        Lens fogging is very dangerous, as it can take minutes to see properly.
