Choosing your Lens Coatings

Anti-reflection coating


Spectacle 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 for night driving. Anti-reflection coatings also improve the cosmetic appearance of your glasses and can make thick lenses look thinner. 
 


Scratch-resistant / hard coating


Plastic lenses are lighter than traditional glass lenses but they scratch more easily. Scratched lenses can be irritating for the wearer and look unsightly. Scratch-resistant coatings are available to protect against damage and prolong lens life.

Multi-coated lenses

Multi-coated lenses uncorporate a combination of coatings - anti-reflection, scratch-resistant, water repellent and UV - to combine to improve the properies of your spectacles.

Crizal Scotchgard

One of our favourite coatings is the Alize-Scotchgard Coating. This coating, designed by 3M helps prevent dust and grease from settling on the lens surface, making it easier to keep clear and clean.
