ANTI GLARE GLASSES: 16 INSIDER TIPS on Anti refletion coatings for eye glasses
SUBSCRIBE: kzbin.info...
This video is provides insider tips on what anti glare, anti reflection and AR coatingns are, how they are made and 16 things that the experts don't tell you about AR coatings.
Why you need it.
1. Look good. We connect with each other with eyes and you can see eyes better with AR coatings.
2. See good….lets talk optics. In an uncoated lens 8% of light bounces off as reflections…..that means that only 92% of light goes through lens. With a premium antireflection coating only about 0.5% of light is reflected away…than means that 99.5% of the light goes through the lens…meaning you see an image that is about 7.5% brighter…Why wouldn’t you want that.
What is an antirefeldtion coating.
Microscopic metallic film applied to the surface of the lens that causes more light to reflected through the lens and less is reflected away. So this coating is about 0.2micron’s thick….that is about the thickness of wall of soap bubble.
The process to make these lenses is very high tech… and it takes at minimum 5 hours to and sometimes up to 12 hours to treat a lens. They have to do in an a clean room and there are multiple steps of cleaning preparing the lens…then they put the lens in a vaccum chamber and then they expose it to a vapourized form of a metal oxide with bonds the the lens….There are often multiple…at least 7 layers in the premium coated lenses and they need to repeat this process for each one. So it will often take at least one complete day to apply an antireflection coating to your lenses.

Appreciate the honesty. To sum up the negatives : - cost: expensive! - durability: glasses will need to be replaced faster (every 3 or so years!) because after 2 years the crazing becomes a real annoyance. A warranty of 2 years is therefor pretty much useless, btw.

[@freddylopez7536]

Brilliant and so utterly clear and informative. Thank you.

[@akmalhakem8892]

Very informative and thorough. Keep up the good content!

[@OnlyNatural77]

Very informative covering all aspects of anti glare coating. Thanks a lot.

[@michaelsumnerjr5819]

Amazing Video, from an optician. You are spot on correct on most of what you said in this Video although I think you should have added a lot more of the benefits of A/R.

[@gwenpenn3433]

very informative.... I just received my 1st pair of glasses w/no glare coating. Nice to know it's best to have it at all.

[@anonymousme2159]

So glad you added the part about people without vision problems thinking it will solve the headlight glare. I have astigmatism and I have them on my driving glasses but I thought they forgot my AR coating. It helped with the glare, but it wasn't all the way gone. Now I know why and as a first time wearer of glasses I learned a lot today thank you.

[@Rahoo.]

Wow.. very informative video. Thank you so much sir.🙏

[@itgoesmyway]

Very informative!

[@OZZ___]

Great informative video Doc!

[@dariusjohn66]

love it great info 👍

[@surinderluthra1043]

Best explanation

[@surinderluthra1043]

Good explantion

[@rakshithgowda007]

Best one!

[@rakshithgowda007]

What's your opinion on "Drive safe" glasses from Zeiss for night driving?

[@zubnlgnubi]

Great information. I've used these coatings for years but what I notice now is that they have a yellowish tint. I hate it! I can't tell if they've added a bit of blue blocker or what but they definitely block a bit of blue light. With this info I'm going to look around for a coating that does not have a yellow cast and hope that one exists.

[@GoodOptometryMorning]

older blue blocking AR coatings might look a little yellow

[@SantaRosaGal]

The last pair of antireflective coated glasses I got crazed within a few months. I've gotten it before with no problem. And the recent glasses were more expensive. I hesitate getting the coating anymore. I wonder if the older coatings were actually more durable.

[@JennySimon206]

Most things are better the older they are. Controlled obsolescence

[@cinderellaslifeadventures7269]

Are there any really good clip on AR that work over regular glasses ?

[@jdsboy]

Hey, What frames are you wearing at the 1:15 mark?

[@gt.vintageaudio3402]

Very well explained !,....Bravo !,...,thanks.

[@lisapass6681]

Can I get a 12% blue tint on lens first and then get AR coating on that same lens after the tint is done?

[@JennySimon206]

Thank you. None of the other videos warn you about the coatings wearing out. Shame on them.

[@GoodOptometryMorning]

yup

[@artmaltman]

Superb presentation. Do you happen to know diff Crizal 360 vs Sapphire? And which brand and model is the absolute best? Best value? Must NOT be blue blocking (I edit photographs!)

[@curlyhairdudeify]

Most eyeglasses don't have a blue filter unless you pay for it, or your eyeglasses are photochromic.

[@curlyhairdudeify]

I always thought that they were trying to upsell me about the "Anti Reflective Coating" . Then, one time I bought off of eBay a pair of eyeglasses that came with a complimentary AR coating.... Once you go AR, there is no going back it is night and day. With regular lenses you get a ton of glare at night; you get halos from lights, starring, and image ghosting with the AR coating that is gone. Now, when I use regular eyeglasses I get headaches. My care tip is wash your eyeglasses with water and dish soap, and pat them dry with a paper towel. Absolutely no rubbing. First, rinse them with running water, then add soap, and finish pat drying.

[@JennySimon206]

Wait till they cloud up. Your foot will go in mouth. They become totally useless

[@anonymousme2159]

I've heard the same thing I did it with my regular glasses now that I have the ARs I'm not sure what to do 🤷

[@west-Co_exploration]

It seems like every optometrist shop sells a variety of AR coatings, but how do you know you're getting what you paid for? I paid top dollar for my last pair of glasses to get the high end coating, and it didn't last 8 months. It scratched every time you touched it, when pairs that I have that are 5 to 10 years old have no scratches on them. And when I questioned them they said "we have no record of you having the upgrade, or a warranty on it". Should we be getting paperwork and warranty information specific to the AR coating, when we receive the glasses?

[@GoodOptometryMorning]

some of the premium lenses come with a certificate of authenticity card. One good method is asking what the warrenty is on defective coatings....the better companies will have a 2 year warrenty....the rest will have 1year or none.

[@west-Co_exploration]

@@GoodOptometryMorning I asked that very question and they did a very good job of upselling me to the more expensive one due to warranty and several other factors, the only problem was I had no proof after the fact that I had the better option. I guess I'll never make that mistake again

[@curlyhairdudeify]

First question, how are you cleaning them? Spraying them with the lense cleaner spray, and rubbing them with a dirty microfiber cloth.... You are literally sanding the AR coating away with microscopic sand stuck to lense over the day. You clean them by passing them under running faucet water, and then gently wash them with dish soap, and delicately pat them dry with a paper towel.

[@west-Co_exploration]

@@curlyhairdudeify I cleaned them exactly as I was instructed. My previous pair with AR coating lasted 3 years without a scratch. These fell apart in less than 3 months. I would say that is faulty AR coating

[@surinderluthra1043]

Most of places I went and asked what is difference between anti glare and anti reflective lens. Most of sales persons say they are same but as my knowledge they are not same can you tell us in detail what is difference between two

[@rakshithgowda007]

They are same

[@curlyhairdudeify]

They are the same. Anti Reflective Coating reduces the glare at night; ie, upcoming traffic.

[@weldonyoung1013]

Great coverage. Maybe the only things, Good Optometry Morning: KZbin Eye Doctor, you missed were: 1) with higher inder lenses the anti-reflective coating becomes more important and effective; 2) shopping around for coating also means going with that manufactures lenses, though you did imply that. Found your example of popularion prevalence interesting, where you compared Japan, Canada & the United States. Does that also mean you are in Canada as well. Greatings from 🇨🇦

[@robertc7896]

Do soap and water harm the AR coating?

[@GoodOptometryMorning]

They shouldn’t

[@surinderluthra1043]

What is difference between anti glare and anti reflective coating

[@curlyhairdudeify]

Same thing.

[@Capronice]

My anti glare coating is breaking down with in a year. I have found the more I try to clean them the worse they get.

[@curlyhairdudeify]

What are you using to cleaning them? The dirty microfiber cloth that you have never washed, and rub the microscopic sand with the lense cleaner and microfiber cloth. You wash them with running water, then add dish soap, gently rub with your fingers, and pat dry with a paper towel.

[@lidiaspyrka8096]

@@curlyhairdudeifysorry paper towels will scratch under a microscope looks like barbs. Always use a clean microfibre cloth.

[@conorcroskery6195]

I just can't baby my glasses and dealing with the crazing is a pain. I feel like they craze if you look at them the rong way... My latest pair lasted 4 months and now they are noticably crazed

[@GoodOptometryMorning]

maybe try a different optical or a different brand....there are different brands and qualities of anti reflection.....

[@JennySimon206]

Don't get the coating. I am done.

[@elmedia8692]

anti-glare is a different coating to anti-reflective, they can't be used interchangeable to mean the same thing.

[@In_Absence_Of_A_Doctor]

What could be the difference? I also thought it's the same.

[@curlyhairdudeify]

They are the same thing. You are confused about the "anti-glare" (polarized lenses).

[@ematthews9443]

@@curlyhairdudeify anti reflection means the glass in your glasses doesn't reflect the harsh lights infront of them, this is usually a green tinge coating to minimise the reflections so you can see the eyes of people you're looking at through the glassess of people wearing them, anti glare means the lights on car headlights (especially for people with astigmatism) is blinding, so there are 'anti glare' for lights. Anti reflective is an aesthetic thing, anti glare is to reduce the blinding effect of oncoming lights say in traffic at night.

[@mrFalconlem]

Frankly I use to wear real glasses and guess what I cleaned them one time a day max. Now, having smudges on my plastic glasses with the coating after less than 1 hour is NOT acceptable, and 98 percent of people aren't ON CAMERA. They have been the most horrible thing ever, when I first got glasses with this AR coating, it was OPTIONAL, not mandatory. ... Give me the choice. Its called options. Why does everyone want to tell others what to do??

[@genuinelensesindia]

he is so handsome

[@GoodOptometryMorning]

ha ha

[@aceofspades001]

Indians man 😂

[@Vector_Ze]

The reasons should be: 1 To see good 2 To look good Honestly, at my age I could just take #2 as optional, certainly NOT as the top priority. I've been wearing glasses since I was 14-years old, and even at a young age the #1 priority was to see good.

[@michaellay1847]

Learned the hard way you can't clean them with just any lens cleaner

[@XxxXEraYXxxX]

Can you explain a little more?

[@TedLenn0n]

It’s irritating. My $1,000 glasses are ruined due to Crizal crazing after 4 years.

[@stevelee7781]

Had two pair of anti-reflective... In about a year the coating is greasy and smudges when you try to clean them .. After that, you cant clean them at all and finger prints & smudges become permanent. The lenses need to be replaced or the coating must be stripped and reapplied. Yuck .. I went with non-coated and can see just fine. Its a scam.

[@dwightjones2217]

Anti glare is a waste of money

[@GoodOptometryMorning]

occasionally people don't like it
