Our standard Crystal Clear coating is being used Australia-wide to help reduce glare and improve visual clarity, as an add-on lens coating to our range of high-quality prescription glasses. Crystal Clear plus takes this beneficial coating to the next level, offering you optimum vision in all lighting and weather conditions while making your lenses even more durable, to extend their lifespan even further.
Our Crystal Clear Plus lens coating offers:
- Significant glare reduction via high-quality anti-reflective (AR) properties: by reducing the amount of light reflected on the front of your glasses, more light is able to reach your eyes, allowing you to see more accurately and with greater detail. When light reflects off the inside of your glasses into your eyes, such as when driving, during computer use or while working inside, this creates glare and contributes to eye strain. Crystal clear plus lens coatings can help to eliminate this, improve your vision in all lighting conditions, and help prevent eye fatigue.
- A hydrophobic coating: the hydrophobic coating in Crystal Clear Plus lenses repels water, in a similar way to how it causes water to bead on a car. This means that you can go out in the rain or humid conditions without fear, and remove the hassle of foggy glasses when cooking or wearing a face mask.
- Greater scratch-resistance: Crystal Clear Plus lenses contain a durable scratch resistant coating that prevents scratches on your lenses over time, keeping them clearer for longer and protecting them from damage over time. This can extend the life of your lenses for years and is particularly beneficial for softer lens types.
- Repulsion for oily substances: the oleophobic elements of the Crystal Clear Plus coating helps to gently yet powerfully repel oily substances and stop them from sticking to your lenses – such as sweat, makeup, sunscreen, and greasy finger marks. This can make it much easier to keep your lenses clearer and cleaner for longer, especially in certain work environments, or for younger children
- An antistatic coating: antistatic coatings contain electrostatic charges that repel minuscule pieces of dust, pollen, and lint from fabric or cleaning cloths. This helps to keep your glasses cleaner for longer, reducing your need to clean them each time before using them.
