Glasses Lenses and Coatings

Glasses have become an indispensable item for our daily life. In addition to assisting your eyesight, a pair of well-chosen glasses can improve and even change your temperament. Many people who have normal vision also wear a pair of flat lenses. Do you know how to choose the right lens for you? Now let's learn a little bit about lenses and coatings.

Lense Coating

Plastic lenses are nice and light but do tend to scratch quite easily. However plastic lenses will face several common issues that will greatly reduce the optical performance.

Glasses lenses can be provided with anti-reflection coatings which virtually eliminate distracting reflections off the lens surfaces. Reducing reflected light is particularly helpful for computer users and night driving.

Anti-reflection coatings also improve the cosmetic appearance of your glasses and can make thick lenses look thinner. The coating is also roughly divided into three: standard anti-reflection coating, superhydrophobic anti-reflection coating, oleophobic anti-reflection coating.
