I got a question. I had cateraked (sorry I have autism and schizoaffective disorder) on both my eyes and they said I had the option to get artificial lenes put in both my eyes (I was legally blind) but now I can't see things close up without reading glasses and I don't like them can I get my old eyes back, please? Oh. I have nystagmus too so I can't do a byfolcal Or is there a special pair of glasses that can do both long and short version (with no bifocal)

Some of us have been wearing glasses since we were children (over 50 years) and STILL have no idea what these terms mean WRT our glasses. Never assume…

[@Zondon7]

I just got new glasses. My lenses have the crizal rock anti reflective. They are by far the best thing to put on your lenses. Not only are they the best for reflections. They're super scratch resistant. Finger print resistant. water resistant . And they're insanely easy to clean

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

So happy to hear that! I have heard a lot of people liking it. I have it on my new Transitions Xtractive lenses.

[@sergiubarac1265]

Fortunately when I bought my first pair of glasses (at age 30) the seller ordered the anti reflective lenses without asking. Even before this video I didn't know there are more types of anti reflective lenses. Mine are the greenish ones (I guess they are cheaper) but I was never proposed another type. Thanks for the video, so much new information!

[@Saeren_]

It's kind of amazing that they didn't push the AR on you. Premium AR coatings are worth maybe $20-$30 and they charge $100+ for them so I can't remember the last time I wasn't harassed to death about buying one 😂

[@mohammadzaid6640]

You could contact us, we provide these lenses infact they are a bit less in India. Only thing is we'll have to courier it to you.

[@jameskelson1891]

I previously heard you mention the Crizal Sapphire coatings. I spent a small fortune on them and they were the absolute worst coatings I ever had. After a few months, it looked like I had scratched the lenses with sandpaper. That was just the coating peeling off. My local optical shop honored the warranty except I had to pay $25 for shipped to and from and wait about 3 weeks. The same thing happened about 10 months later. No warranty for the second failure. Since then I have had great luck with standard coatings and lenses from Costco and from Zenni.

[@d.m1504]

Yeah man same shit For few month it's 4k then back to 720p with smudges

[@abdicatedprince1149]

I've bee using prevencia coated lens for ages (at least 7-8 years) I even wash it with soap or even use sanitizers. No issues here. I think the issue is with the 'premium' sapphire coating rather than crizal itself. But I've heard that Zeiss is actually better to avoid glare, so I am thinking of getting a spare with Duravision, but I can't make up my mind which one to go for, platinum (sapphire competitor) or Blueprotect (prevencia competitor).

[@peterjteagan6143]

This is very, very helpful. I have learned more from this video than I have from speaking to 3 different opticians. Terrific!!

[@c2442l]

Most optometrist shops never explain the differences between all these coatings, they just automatically recommend the most expensive coating, which make me suspect that they are just upselling but there is really no difference.

[@Steel-Pinnings]

Even if their recommendations are true and with integrity they will still upsell to the most expensive ones in that category. Well, my experiences.

[@rapidrevolver420]

I've needed glasses for almost 50 years, and walking into an optical shop has always had a feel of playing Bingo -- I never knew if I was going to win, or win what, or when was my number ever going to come up, or even -- what is my number?

[@ellenanortje3707]

I am an artist/graphic designer. I have been wearing glasses for 50 years. I have only worn anti-glare for the last 2 pairs of glasses. I honestly am happiest with NO anti-glare coating (and I have high performance lenses)

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Great to hear this feedback! Any specific reason why? Do you know what type of lens material your glasses are made of?

[@phugia963]

actually for blue light filter lenses, they have new technology to make the lenses absorb the light instead of reflecting it via coating, so we would no longer experience the weird purple light appearing a lot when wearing these. Essilor BlueUV Capture & Zeiss Blueguard are those best candidates.

[@kazielbonn]

Still have a slight yellow tint though right?

[@vominator]

I've worn glasses for over 20 years. Always too cheap to get the anti reflective coating. But finally got nutty and spent the extra $5 at Zenni. SO much better at night. I never realized how much flare and glare there was, and the farther you look, the worse it is. With the AR coating, night time vision is suddenly much more clear. It's almost as though the light glare was some kind of solid material like smoke or fog. Daytime and computer/TV I don't see much difference, but after dark it is crazy how much better is it.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

That's great! Thanks for sharing your feedback!

Thanks so much for the lecture including the blue light info! Gets very confusing figuring out the best needs for me as a videographer and editor. Using sapphire blue light filters currently and I kind of don’t like the yellow tint I see the world with. Also relatively expensive

[@kazielbonn]

Yep, can't have that yellow tint if you are in a profession that decides what colours to use for a project. I had Prevencias many years ago; the yellow tint was something I could get used to as I wasn't doing professional graphic design but the purple reflex colour was so obnoxious I moved to the Crizal Forte when I got new frames. But as those have broken at the bridge, I am in the market for new ones and am seriously thinking of getting the Sapphire HR.

@@DoctorEyeHealth Before I knew about using dish soap to clean smudges on my budget lenses, I used soap all the time to clean them. I noticed so much damage and scratches over time. I didn’t know why the budget coating was deteriorating so fast thinking I was doing more good than harm by cleaning with soap. I told this to my optician and he told me to use dish soap or camera lense wipes instead of ordinary soap because it is less harsh on the lenses. You explain everything in meticulous detail!

Is it possible to get non-prescription glasses with good anti-glare coating, for example for night driving? Would high index still be relevant, or is standard acceptable/the only choice? Great content!

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Good question. In my opinion there would be very little benefit to the AR glasses alone without a prescription in them. I The AR helps prevent reflections and glare caused by wearing lenses. If you don't need to wear lenses, then AR coating will not necessarily help your eyesight. You can get yellow tinted driving lenses with no prescription...and then get AR coating on those. AR coating would help in that case.

[@YBIagent]

Very useful vid. Now, let's see you do one on the various tinted lenses from yellow, blue, green, violet, etc., as they all do serve specific purposes like yellow for sports field vision/dusk-driving, etc. *A lil secret... The blue or purple tinted ones seem to aid those with colorblindness, esp. red/green. [This as it is very hard to find red ones, esp. in polarised.] I have Rx pairs in yellow & blue, aside Transitions. (I dod suspect this is why most Enchroma Trivex lenses are more violet tinted as well.) I have mild deutan, or green light wavelength weakness. Have taken both Ishihara & H.R.R. book tests to reveal same results each time as it is congenital w/ my grandfather & brother also having it to some degree. (My brother less than I.) I've also got mild visual snow/static syndrome to go along w/ it which also creates a consistent, low-pitched ear ringing or some sort of tinnitus. But, we're veering way off course here...

Diffraction spikes (those straight lines of light you describe) are often explained as being caused by "astigmatism" however, diffraction spikes are unlikely to be caused by astigmatism unless someone has very high amounts of astigmatism or some level of corneal scarring. Most diffraction spikes are caused by eyelashes and eyelid interactions or defects in optical correction, such as a greasy or dirty glasses or contact lens.
