What is an anti-reflective coating?
Anti-reflective (AR) coating reduces the amount of reflection on the surface of your lenses by allowing more light to pass through them.
How does anti-reflective coating work?
Anti-reflective coatings consist of tiny metallic oxide layers, each affecting different light wavelengths.
They allow nearly 100% of light to pass through the lenses, rather than being reflected. Each of our AR coatings has a subtle green tint.
