Special Coatings for Your Glasses That Are Worth Looking Into
Glasses can be an important way to protect your eyes and your vision. After all, trying to see without corrective lenses when you need them can create a tremendous strain on your visual system. But today’s lenses can do more than just help a person to see better.
Thanks to special lens coatings, your glasses can actually help protect your eyes in myriad ways. Read on to learn about a few of the lens coatings that can really make a difference for your vision, and consider which of them might be right for you. Remember, Beaumont Vision is always here to help you improve your vision with any of these special protective coatings.
Anti-Reflective Coating
An anti-reflective coating added to your lenses helps get rid of glare and lens reflections. These reflections, if not protected against, could temporary blind you at a critical moment, potentially putting you in danger. Anti-reflective coatings prevent this glare, allowing you to see clearly, and allowing for others to see your eyes clearly through your glasses as well.
Scratch-Proof Coating
If you’re too hard on your glasses, then they will probably pick up some scratches regardless of any protective coating you may have applied. But this type of coating, when applied, can give you solid protection against day-to-day mishaps that could scratch your lenses. This protects your glasses more than your eyes, but trying to look through scratched lenses won’t do anything for your eye health.
Ultraviolet and Blue Light Protection Coating
You have no doubt seen that many of the best sunglasses include UV protection, since sunglasses make it easier to expose your eyes to the sun. But even those who wear regular lenses expose their eyes to some sun on a regular basis, and that means exposing your eyes to some ultraviolet radiation, which can cause snow blindness or more serious eye problems like retinal damage or cataracts.
Blue light is a modern problem stemming from our dependence on looking at digital screens. Blue light can cause eyestrain, vision fatigue, and other issues. Proper coating can protect your eyes against both the damaging effects of ultraviolet light and blue light.
Photochromic Lenses
No need for separate prescription sunglasses when you’ve got photochromic lenses. These are lenses that transition to darker shades as sunlight increases, serving as adaptive sunglasses whenever you need them. These lenses are a great way to protect your eyes from damage caused by bright sunlight all year-round.
