Do I Need Anti-Reflective (AR) Coating?

See more clearly. Look more clearly. Feel more comfortable in your glasses.

What is Anti-Reflective (AR) Coating?

Anti-reflective (AR) coating is a clear, ultra-thin layer applied to the surface of your lenses. It’s designed to eliminate reflections and glare from both the front and back of the lens — improving clarity, comfort, and appearance.

Whether you're in front of a screen, under bright lights, or driving at night, AR coating helps you see better and be seen more clearly.

✅ Benefits of AR Coating

Reduces Glare
Especially helpful when driving at night or working under bright overhead lighting.
Enhances Visual Clarity
Improves contrast and detail in both natural and artificial light.
Minimises Eye Strain
Ideal for extended screen time or long reading sessions.
Improves Appearance
Lenses look nearly invisible — no distracting reflections in photos or when speaking face-to-face.
Resists Smudges & Scratches
Most modern AR coatings come with added layers for easier cleaning and improved durability.

🤓 Who Should Get AR Coating?

AR coating is recommended for:

Everyday glasses wearers
Office and computer users
Drivers (especially at night)
Anyone sensitive to light or glare
People who want a clean, sharp look in their lenses

It’s especially beneficial when combined with high-index (thinner) lenses, blue light filters, or multifocal lenses.

❓ Is AR Coating Worth It?

For most people — yes. It’s one of the most valuable upgrades you can add to your lenses for day-to-day comfort and long-term visual clarity.

While basic lenses without AR may be slightly cheaper, the enhanced performance, comfort, and appearance of AR-coated lenses makes them well worth the investment.
