Lenses with Anti-Reflective Coating

Do you believe that your vision is getting all the benefits from your prescription lenses? If your lenses do not have an Anti-Reflective or AR coating, the answer is probably no. An AR coating does more than just remove glare. It can also help with vision and reduce eyestrain.

Anti-Reflective lenses are a standard in premium eyewear and a product that we highly endorse. Below are some of the main benefits of AR coating.

Four Benefits of Anti-Reflective Coatings

• Clarifies your vision

  Lenses with AR coating enable one to see more clearly in a bright room or sunny day. An AR coating can also help reduce glare during night driving.

• Enhance your appearance

  By removing harsh reflections from your lenses, the lenses appear nearly invisible, allowing others to see your eyes. Whether you’re posing for a picture, attending a Zoom meeting, or face-timing a friend, they will notice your eyes and not your lenses.

• Protects against scratches

  The surface treatment that seals the anti-reflective layers protects your lenses against scratches and smudges.

  Most AR coatings include a hydrophobic treatment, which repels water. Other AR coatings may also include a lipophobic treatment, which repels oils, making the lenses easier to clean.

• Safeguard your eyes

  AR coatings can also help reduce eyestrain by defending your eyes against UV rays.

FAQ about Anti-Reflective Coating

• Can sunglasses have anti-reflective lenses?

  Yes. Anti-reflective coating on sunglass lenses eliminates glare from sunlight reflecting into your eyes.

• Does AR coating make my lenses thicker?

  Anti-reflective coatings are incredibly thin. Most AR coatings are one-fifth of a centimeter.

• Does AR coating protect against blue light?

  Not all AR coating filters blue light. Ask your optician if your new glasses are blue light blocking glasses.

At Edward Beiner, Eyes Forward, you have the option to get anti-reflective lenses, blue-light blocking glasses, or both.
