Anti Reflection Coatings
The materials used and the curved nature of lenses mean that up to 10% of light can be lost through reflections at the lens surfaces, these reflections can be distracting and appear unattractive.
By adding a coating it allows around 99% of light through the lens resulting in increased visual comfort and performance. Cosmetically, a coating is beneficial too, as it results in thewearer’s eyes being seen more clearly, rather than images of light being visible on the lenses.
Reflections can lead to reduced visual acuity which can be more noticeable whilst driving at night, a common effect of this is dazzle from oncoming headlights.Users of visual display equipment and those who work under fluorescent lighting may also experience benefits from anti-reflection coated lenses.
Modern day coatings now incorporate anti-scratch and hydrophobic properties, resulting in a lens that has a prolonged life, is repellent to water and easier to clean.
