Get Anti-Glare Coating in Duvall, WA
Anti-reflective coating (also called AR coating or anti-glare coating) improves both your vision through your lenses and the appearance of your eyeglasses. Both benefits are due to the ability of AR coating to eliminate reflections of light from the front and back surface of eyeglass lenses. With fewer reflections, more light passes through the lens to the eye for good vision and the lenses look more transparent and attractive.
High-index lenses tend to reflect more light than regular plastic lenses, making AR coating particularly useful. The higher the index of refraction of the lens material, the greater the amount of light reflected from the lens surface.
Today’s modern anti-reflective coatings can virtually eliminate the reflection of light from eyeglass lenses, allowing 99.5 percent of available light to pass through the lenses and enter the eye for good vision.
By eliminating reflections, AR coating also makes your eyeglass lenses look nearly invisible so people can see your eyes and facial expressions more clearly. Anti-reflective glasses also are more attractive, so you can look your best in all lighting conditions.
The visual benefits of lenses with anti-reflective coating include sharper vision with less glare when driving at night and greater comfort during prolonged computer use (compared with wearing eyeglass lenses without AR coating).
Anti-reflective coating also is a good idea for sunglasses, because it eliminates glare from sunlight reflecting into your eyes from the back surface of tinted lenses when the sun is behind you.
Premium Anti-Reflective Coatings Used at Duvall Advanced Family Eyecare
Anti-Reflective Technology
Lenses without anti-reflective technology develop visible light reflections that can be dangerous when driving on wet roads or at night. The anti-reflective technology in our anti-reflective coatings help reduce reflections to less than 1% of the light — compared with 7% to 13% for uncoated lenses.
Scratch-Resistant Technology
Plastic lenses help make glasses lighter and more comfortable, but they’re much more prone to scratches than glass lenses. The high-quality, scratch-resistant technology in our lenscoatings help keep lenses from getting scratched.
Anti-Static Technology
Dirt and dust can cling to traditional untreated lenses, blurring your vision. But the patented anti-static element helps repel contaminants like dust and debris.
Hydrophobic Technology
Grease or droplets of water can slide off the surface of lenses treated with this super-slick coating, so the lenses are quicker and easier to clean. Anti-reflective coatings provide superior super-hydrophobic performance that keeps the lenses clean longer.
