Prescription Safety Glasses Lens Coating Options

Safety Protection Glasses offers a variety of lens coatings for your sun- or eyeglasses, each of which performs a unique function that can improve the performance of the lens and the clarity of your vision. Those coatings are often available layered, providing the wearer with the precise lens specifications they desire. Read more about our coatings below.

Mirror coating on sunglasses means that the sunglasses have lenses that reflect light away from your eyes – more so than standard tinted lenses.

The coating gives the sunglasses a mirror – like appearance on the outside and can come in a variety of densities, colours , and styles. Available in prescription and non-prescription varieties.

MIRROR COATING ADVANTAGES ON PRESCRIPTION SUNGLASSES

REDUCE THE GLARE

The mirror style reduces the glare you can expect during an average day. Sunrays that reflect off other surfaces are reflected, rather than absorbed by the lens, which protects your eyes from damage and keeps your eyes comfortable.

INCREASE YOUR BRIGHTNESS

Mirror coating reflects rather than absorbs, which means you will be able to see the surrounding area better.

Everything is a bit brighter, significantly enhancing your field of vision.

MIX & MATCH THE COLOURS

Mirror coating comes in a variety of colours and styles. You can apply any colour to your prescription without compromising your visibility.

PRIVACY

When adding mirror coating to your prescription sunglasses , you prevent others from seeing your eyes. The mirror effect in this case is both effective and real.

IMPROVE RESISTANCE TO WEAR AND TEAR

Mirror coating is manufactured specifically with durability in mind , helping to protect your lenses from scratches and other typical wear.

AR (Anti-Reflective) Coating Anti-reflective coatings eliminate the distracting glare that can be produced by light when it reflects through your lenses. Anyone subjected to direct or indirect reflections – especially those who spend a lot of time around computers and electronic monitors of any type, suffer from eye strain, or who drive at night – will likely enjoy the benefits of glare reduction. Due to the high reflective properties of high index lenses, an anti-reflective coating is recommended, and is practically mandatory for high index lenses made of glass. (Note: AR coating is not good for outside glasses, dusty dirty environments and or constant cleaning.) The lenses must be wet before they are cleaned.

Scratch Coating A scratch resistant coating is often applied to surfaces that are not inherently scratch-resistant, like CR-39 plastic, polycarbonate, or Trivex. It adds a barrier of protection that hardens the surface against both large gouges and smaller scratches, which can build up and crisscross to add a hazy appearance to lenses. If your lenses are formed from any material other than glass, a scratch-resistant coating will increase their productive lifespan.

UV (Ultra-Violet) Protection Coating UV light is invisible to the human eye but can, in excess, cause retinal burning and scarring. Most sunglasses are already designed to block a high level of UV radiation; other lenses, depending on their function or lens material, may also block some UV rays. If your lenses do not specifically state their UV screening level and you spend time outdoors, an additional UV coating will offer protection and peace of mind. Anti-UV treatment is not necessary on polycarbonate lenses because it is an inherent property of the material.

Anti-Fog Coating An anti-fog coating works by chemically affecting the adhesion of water molecules, preventing them grouping into larger clusters that can impair vision. If your glasses are frequently exposed to temperature changes or humid conditions, you’ll likely want an anti-fog coating to help combat condensation. The same goes for anyone who engages in strenuous activities such as physical labor, participation in sports, or exercise. Any activity that causes your body temperature to fluctuate will likely lead to lens fogging.
