The benefits
Who needs a high-quality anti-reflective coating?
· Drivers - for greater safety and faster recognition of potential hazards on the road: reflections of street-lamps and headlights on your lenses impair the contrast of your vision and let less light through to your eyes.
· Very nearsighted people -
- increased reflections result from a flatter front lens surface or from the use of a material with a higher refractive index
· If you wear your glasses non-stop all day
- to ensure that your eyes are not subjected to unnecessary fatigue by reflections
· If you want optimum eye contact with other people
- to improve the overall cosmetic appearance of your glasses.
Product info
An anti-reflective coating consists of several extremely thin layers which are applied to the lens surface in high vacuum conditions. This attenuates the reflected components of light or makes them cancel each other out. The higher the quality of the coating, the greater this effect will be. By providing it with a multilayer anti-reflective coating, the transmission of a lens can be increased from 92% to as much as 99%.
