Lens Optical Coating

High-Resistance Surface Treatment

Even the toughest lenses can scratch, no matter if they're plastic, glass, or polycarbonate. While they can resist scratches pretty well, daily wear and tear, like dropping them or cleaning them, can still lead to those pesky scratches.

A protective, anti-scratch coating is applied to both lens surfaces. This optically transparent film, often called Scratch Resistant Coating (SRC), is composed of durable materials such as diamond-like carbon (DLC) or polycrystalline diamond (PCD). An ionization process is used to create a thin yet incredibly strong layer on the lens, enhancing its scratch resistance without compromising visual clarity.

Scratches can significantly impair the vision of children, especially those who rely on glasses for clear sight. To mitigate this risk, scratch-resistant coatings offer a valuable solution. However, even with this protection, proper care is crucial. By storing glasses in a case and cleaning them with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner, you can help maintain their optimal condition.

Our eyewear repair service can effectively address minor scratches. We advise against using over-the-counter scratch repair products. While they may temporarily reduce the visibility of scratches, they cannot fully restore the lens's original optical quality.

Ultraviolet Radiation Shielding

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, a type of invisible light from the sun, travels at incredible speeds and can damage the delicate tissues of the eye. While many people are aware of the need to protect their skin from UV rays, it's equally important to shield their eyes. Wearing sunglasses or special eye protection, even during indoor tanning, can help prevent long-term eye problems.

Prolonged exposure to the sun's harmful UV rays can significantly increase your risk of developing serious eye conditions like cataracts, macular degeneration, photokeratitis, and pterygium. As UV damage accumulates over time without any immediate warning signs, protecting your eyes is essential. When purchasing lenses, opt for 100% UV protection to safeguard your vision.

Prioritize sun protection for children and teens, as they often spend more time outdoors.

UV Anti-Reflective Optical Coating

Anti-Reflective (AR) coating, a multi-layer structure of metal oxides, was pioneered to improve the clarity of high-powered telescopes, camera lenses, and microscopes. By applying these layers to both the front and back surfaces of lenses, AR coating significantly reduces light reflection, allowing for greater light throughput.

Elevate your eyewear's aesthetic appeal with Anti-Reflective coating. This innovative treatment makes your lenses virtually invisible, creating a sleek, minimalist look. By reducing internal reflections, AR coating ensures your eyes are the focal point, not your glasses.

Examples Of Anti-Reflective Coating

High-Polish Edge Treatment

To elevate the look of their rimless and semi-rimless lenses, many customers opt for a high-luster edge polish. This premium finish requires expert craftsmanship and careful preparation. A well-machined lens edge can bypass the sanding stage and proceed directly to polishing. Stationary polishing heads are key to achieving optimal results. While this polished edge is favored by many, it's not universally loved. To deliver the ultimate shine, we utilize a fast-cutting compound to remove all sanding marks, followed by a high-luster compound for a flawless finish.

Your lens order stays in-house from start to finish. We have the necessary equipment and skilled technicians to work with all lens materials, ensuring the highest standards of precision and accuracy. No outsourcing, no delays, just quality you can trust.

Radiation-Protective Coating

Experience the future of eye protection with anti-radiation, or EMI, coatings. This cutting-edge technology shields your eyes from harmful VLF E-field/ELF radiation by blocking and diverting these electromagnetic waves. Enjoy 100% protection with this innovative lens coating.

To ensure the presence of an anti-radiation coating, optometrists examine the lens for specific electric metallic compounds. This invisible layer safeguards your eyes from harmful radiation, preventing eye strain and fatigue, especially during prolonged computer use.

Fatigue-Resistant Coating

Are your eyes feeling tired and strained? You're not alone. 60% of people experience visual fatigue due to excessive screen time. From work to play, our eyes are constantly adjusting to different devices. It's time to prioritize eye health and alleviate this common discomfort.

Fatigue-Resistant Coating is equipped with a specialized 'boost zone' and Anti-Fatigue coating, these lenses provide superior visual comfort. The 'boost zone' aids in focusing, while the coating significantly reduces eye strain by 50%, ensuring a more pleasant visual experience.

Photochromic Gradient Tinting

Photochromic Gradient Tinting utilizes a process that creates a progressive darkening effect on the lens, starting from the top and gradually decreasing in intensity towards the bottom.

Gradient lenses, available in gray or brown, offer a stylish and functional option. Gray gradient lenses harmonize beautifully with silver and gunmetal frames, while brown gradient lenses create a striking contrast with gold and copper frames.

Uniform Lens Tinting

Uniform lens tinting is a process that adds a uniform layer of color to the lens surface, typically in brown or gray. The lenses are immersed in a tinting solution, and the longer they remain in the solution, the darker the tint becomes. The lens material chemically absorbs the color, ensuring a permanent tint. The tint density, expressed as a percentage, signifies the amount of light that can pass through the lens. A 0% tint is completely clear, while a 100% tint is completely opaque.

For a stylish look, choose gray solid tint lenses for silver or gunmetal frames. For a warm, classic look, brown solid tint lenses are a perfect match for gold or copper frames.
