Benefits of Anti Reflective Coating
Reduced Reflections
AR coatings can reduce reflections and glare caused by artificial lighting, computer screens, headlights, and other light sources effectively. This reduction in glare enhances visual comfort and makes it easier to see clearly.
Effortless cleaning
It’s easy to maintain because AR-coated lenses are smudges and fingerprints. This feature simplifies your eyewear care routine, saving you time and ensuring your glasses stay in top condition.
Durability
Due to outstanding resilience and resistance to wear and abrasion, the anti-reflective coating of anti-reflective lenses remain intact with regular use and cleaning. The quality can provide you with durable eyewear.
UV Protection
By providing defense against damaging UV rays, AR coatings provide an added layer of protection, essentially serving as an eye shield. UV protection is important as it contributes to your eye health.
Enhanced Clarity
AR-coated lenses reduce reflections, which improves vision clarity and makes it easier to view text and tiny details. This enhanced clarity is especially helpful when reading books, or spending a lot of time on digital devices.
Improved appearance
Your spectacles will appear less reflecting and more transparent with an anti-reflection coating applied. People can see your eyes more clearly with less glare, particularly when being photographed.

This can help lessen eye strain and make it easier to see in bright light.On the other hand, anti-reflective coatings aim to lessen the quantity of light that reflects off the lenses.
