Lens Coatings

Anti-Reflection Coating (ARC)

Regular lenses reflect from 8-13% of incident light. ARC reduces this reflection to 1-2% resulting in less eye fatigue, better night vision, reduced glare and enhanced appearance.

Scratch Protection

Plastic lenses can be scratched easier than glass and need a coating to increase their surface hardness. This coating does not make the lens scratch proof but tends to lengthen the life of the lens. This coating is especially helpful with children's lenses.

Ultraviolet Protection (UV 400)

It is a fact that UV light is harmful to the eye. UV 400 coating allows the lens to block 100% of harmful UV light. Polycarbonate lenses provide this protection without a special coating.
