AR coatings are similar to the coatings found
on microscopes and camera lenses. They consist of several layers
of metal oxides applied to the front and back lens surfaces. Because
of the layering effect, AR coatings sometimes have a hint of green
or purple color, depending on the individual manufacturer's formula.
The most important benefits of anti-reflective (AR) coating may
be the unseen advantage--relief from fatigue and eyestrain caused
by glare. AR does have a big cosmetic advantage, but removing
the distracting reflections and ghost images that contribute to
eyestrain clearly is a bigger benefit. This increases comfort.
Being more comfortable in anything we do is a benefit, especially
wearing glasses. People always remark how uncomfortable glasses
are. Well now you can offer a real solution to that problem. AR
Coating!!
Nighttime driving is also enhanced with AR coatings by eliminating
the reflections from street lights, headlights from on-coming
vehicles, and taillights. By applying an AR coating more light
can pass through the lens providing greater image contrast and
clearer vision.
AR coatings improve vision, reduce fatigue, and help you to
enjoy every minute of life at work or at play.

AR coatings enhance appearance. It makes lenses look thinner
by reducing distracting reflections. Also the wearers eyes are
more visible and this improves eye contact for better communication.
When AR lenses are worn in daylight and indoors, most people
find they provide noticeably better visual performance, making
objects appear crisper and brighter. When reading a newspaper,
magazine, or even a computer screen with AR coated lenses images
and letters will appear sharper and crisper.
