Wembley, England, 15 October 2024- Did you know choosing the right lens coating for your prescription glasses can significantly improve your vision and comfort? Lens coatings play an essential role in how well your glasses will work for you. They can even protect your eyes from the harmful UV rays of the sun and reduce strain from looking at screens.
Here we will look at the most popular lens coatings available and explain how they can improve your vision and eyewear experience. Understanding these lens coatings will help you choose the ones that best suit your lifestyle for your next pair of prescription glasses
What are lens coatings?
Lens coatings are thin layers put on the lens surface of your glasses to improve how they work. These coatings make regular lenses much more protective and clearer. Here’s why you should definitely consider adding a lens coating to your glasses if you haven’t yet:
- They reduce glare
- Boost visibility
- Filter out harmful rays
- Make lenses last longer
- Protect your lenses from scratches
Types of lens coatings
There is a variety of lens coatings available, each tailored to specific needs and uses. The most common types include:
- Anti-reflective coating
- Blue light filtering coating
- UV-protection coating
- Scratch-resistant coating
- Smudge-resistant coating
Whether you are a tech enthusiast who spends hours in front of a computer screen, a frequent driver or an outdoor adventurer, selecting the right lens coating can make a difference.
Anti-reflective coating
Anti-reflective (AR) coating, also known as anti-glare coating, reduces reflections from your lenses. It adds a multi-layer coating that stops reflections and lets more light through the lens. The result is clearer, sharper vision with less glare.
Key benefits of anti-reflective coatings:
- Anti-reflective (AR) lens coatings reduce reflections from artificial lights like computer screens, helping those who work under bright lights or spend a lot of time in front of digital screens.
- AR coatings can make your glasses look better by making the lenses invisible and allowing others to see your eyes more clearly.
- They also reduce glare, which is helpful for driving at night or reading in dim light.
Do you need an anti-reflective coating on your glasses?
You should consider getting an AR lens coating on your glasses if you spend a lot of time:
- Using digital devices
- Working under bright lights
- Driving at night
These lens coatings are helpful for working professionals, photographers, students and avid readers who focus on intricate work.
Blue light filtering coating
Blue light lens coatings are made to block or filter out some of the blue-violet rays that come from digital screens, LED lighting and the sun. Blue light, specifically high-energy visible (HEV) blue light, can go deep into the eye and may lead to digital eye strain or long-term eye conditions.
Key benefits of blue light lens coating:
Blue light filtering coatings have health benefits beyond just letting your eyes feel comfortable. These coatings can help:
- Reduce digital eye strain symptoms such as headaches, blurred vision and dry eyes
- They may improve your regular sleep cycle by reducing the effect of blue light entering your eyes
- These coatings are also known to offer UV protection
Do you need to add a blue light coating to your glasses?
If you spend a lot of time looking at digital screens, such as your smartphone, computer or tablet, you should consider getting a blue light filtering coating.
This is especially important for:
- People who work in tech-heavy environments
- Gamers
- Those who are often scrolling their social media feeds late at night

At Feel Good Contacts, you have the option to add Transitions lenses at a nominal price from the filter section when shopping for your glasses. Take a look:
Scratch-resistant coating
Adding a scratch-resistant coating to your lenses makes them tougher and more resistant to everyday scratches. This coating is especially useful for sports eyewear or people involved in heavy-duty day jobs.
Hydrophobic coating
A hydrophobic lens coating prevents water and dirt from sticking to your lenses, making them easier to clean and maintain, especially for those with active lifestyles.
Smudge-resistant coatings
Smudge-resistant coatings help repel dust particles and fingerprints, keeping your lenses clean and clear for longer. These coatings are perfect for those who wear glasses in dusty environments or dislike frequent cleaning. They make maintenance easier and ensure your vision remains unobstructed by smears or water droplets.
