What is Anti Reflective Coating and Is It Worth the Money?

I'm surprised you did not mention ghost lights. My first glasses did not have an AR coating, and at night, bright lights would be reflected back into my eyes from various angles so that I would see many more lights than there actually were. This made night driving very difficult and confusing-especially in unfamiliar areas. AR coated glasses eliminated this completely. For me, this was a safety issue. Cheers, Russ

Loved the video…I feel we’re taken advantage of a lot when buying lenses and especially lens coating “options” when buying glasses from your typical Omnivision etc. businesses. Man they hit me with over 300.00 purely for lens “options” and I’m really relying on your videos to get to the bottom of this….my prescription is very slight and it’s time we educate ourselves on eye lens function,features, prices, and brands also the difference between necessity and pushy sales tactics..we need to know especially because your vision is not only the most important of your 5 senses but the windows to the soul.

[@bernadettehurst6541]

My takeaway from this video is that if I buy a camera or telescope it will have anti-reflective coating, but if I buy a pair of glasses I get soaked for more money if I want the coating. By the time you're finished with "add ons" the glasses become unaffordable.

Another really important advantage of an anti-reflective coating is if you have a high prescription. It eliminates the 'coke bottle' effect (where there appears to be concentric rings in the lenses).

I hate anti-reflective coatings. Sure, they reduce glare, but they not only smudge super easily, but they attract dust and lint, and above all, scratch at the slightest touch. Seriously, I can use a microfiber cloth after wetting the lens with the eyeglass cleaning fluid given to me by the same store I got my glasses, and I will ALWAYS have at LEAST one new scratch by the time I'm done. Normally I get about 2 to 5 scratches each time. Add in the tiny spot-like pock marks that seem to appear, and anti-reflective coating isn't worth all the hassle. I'd rather deal with some glare than have to replace my glasses in six months because they're scratched up so badly I can't even use them.

In the US, glasses usually do not come standard with anti-reflective. But in some countries like in Germany, glasses often do come with it. If you hold the glasses with the lens and temples facing downward. can you see a slight blue/green/purple color reflecting up toward you off the surface of the lens? Or is it just a reflection of any light sources.

[@Dustin_Platt]

Crizal Sapphire is where it's at.

[@alannorr]

For many years my optometrist has been telling me that the new A R coatings are better than the old ones, and sucked me in to trying them again. They are no better. Granted, they are clearer when they are clean, but are impossible to clean. Doesn't matter how you try to clean them, they always look like the dog licked them. Dish soap is the best, but they are never clean. Always streaked. If they ever need cleaning and you are not near any dish soap, you have the terrible experience of spending the day looking through streaked glasses. I don't need that kind of grief, so I now have the regular lenses. Every day I am glad I didn't listen to somebody who makes extra cash selling A R coated glasses.

[@theendofit]

I was told that the coating does deteriorate though from salt water or from stronger cleaning chemicals withch will leave you with ruined lenses. Thus if your the type to always wear glasses even while in the water or you work with cleaning chemicals that might splash now and then you might want to pass on the coating

[@kylealme7428]

Great video. I just got AR glasses and since I sit at a computer most of the day, they suggested a "Duravision Blue Protect" lens to block out Blue Light. I am noticing a bit of a yellow hue, especially when outside. Sometimes to the point where I'm lifting my glasses to know the difference in color. In your opinion, do the pro's of Blue protect outweigh the yellowish hue to the lens?

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Hey Kyle! I personally like the blue protect. There are different brands and lenses that have different levels of blue protection, but in general the more blue protection the yellower the lens. If you are not a big fan of the yellow, consider talking to the optical about having them switched out. Transitions lenses with the Preventia coating will give you 30% blue light protection without having the yellow hue I personally have a pair of Kodac total blue lenses that block 80% but have just a slight blue color that I dont find bothersome unless I am painting or doing something that requires correct color perception. Otherwise I find them rather calming.

(1)In Sunglasses Anti Reflection coatings present or not? (2)Which coating colour is best for Anti Reflection Lenses for eg their are many coatings in market like Green Coating,Blue Coating,Yellowish Coating etc.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Most sunglasses do not have anti reflective on the front or back surfaces of the lenses, but higher quality sunlenses have the coating on the back side. Most coatings do not have a specific color for you to choose from, it depends on the company/product you are purchasing as different companies may have their own formula. My favorite right now is the Crizal Saphire 360, which has very little reflection at all. but seems like a faint light blue.

Blue light filtering sounds awful if you work in graphic design, CGI, or you're a gamer. You don't want anything changing the way the image looks unless you purposefully make it that way.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Oh my...thats tough. What type of condition if you dont mind me asking? Albinism? At the VA we would have patients go through a trial set of basically every tint of sunglasses. Some people do really well with purple or darker amber colors (however this may skew color perception). If you can't find a regular sunglasses pair that you like, consider asking an optical that can dye lenses...they can make them as dark as you want!

[@lestatdogc5723]

Sure. I have a very rare disease called Cystinosis. It affects every cell in the body. As far as the eyes go crystals build up in the eyes and unless you use your eye drops, ( Cystaran) they will continue to multiply. The dose is almost impossible to follow unless you got to start them at a young age. About roughly 10 years ago or so you could only get them from the NIH, ( National Institute of Health.) your susposed to put them in each eye every waking hour. I went 32 years with out access and have had a hard time getting on a schedule and am now 40; so you can imagine the build up.of crystals. Luckily they were approved by the FDA and you do not have to go to the NIH anymore to get them. However you could imagine the difficulty with not only sun light, but any bright light.
