Anti-Reflective (AR) Treatments
The Basics
Anti-reflective (AR) is a type of treatment applied to the surface of a lens to reduce reflection. This decreased reflection makes you look better while producing less glare, which is particularly noticeable when driving at night or working in front of a computer monitor. Also, less glare means your eyes will be less tired, especially at the end of the day.
Allowing more light to pass through the lens also increases contrast and therefore increases visual acuity. Many AR treatments include an additional layer that repels water and dust, making them easier to keep clean.
94% of patients said they would purchase anti-reflective (AR) lenses again.
- Easiest to clean lens in the world, and the lens will remain easy to clean for the life of the prescription (Independent lab tests prove it)
- Because the lens has an improved super-hydrophobic layer and stays cleaner longer, it allows the wearer to have unimpeded vision - the highest level of clarity of any lens on the market
- Repels dust, dirt, fingerprints, smudges, oil and water
- Less cleaning also means fewer scratches
- Reduced glare from headlights, taillights, and even overhead lights, so you see more clearly. (Ideal for night time driving)
- Eliminates reflections that cause eyestrain and fatigue, especially from florescent lighting and computer screens
- Greater protection from wear and tear.
- Hydrophobic top coat helps increase cleanability.
- Allows clearer, crisper vision than lenses without AR.
