What no one tells you when buying glasses: The secret lies in what you don’t see
Have you ever felt that your new glasses get dirty too quickly or that car headlights blind you at night? It’s not your prescription. There is an invisible technology that makes the difference between living with a cleaning cloth in hand every 10 minutes or enjoying perfect vision all day long.
When configuring your glasses at OpticalH, choosing coatings isn’t just an “extra” to inflate the price. It is the smartest investment you can make for your visual health. Today we explain, without technical jargon, why your eyes will thank you for choosing quality.
1. Anti-reflective: It’s not aesthetics, it’s safety
Many people believe that anti-reflective coating is just “so the lenses don’t glare in photos.” False. Its main function is to prevent stray light from bouncing off the lens and blinding your vision.
Without this treatment, you lose up to 10% of light and suffer from glare, especially when driving at night or working with screens. The result? Red eyes, headaches, and blurred vision at the end of the day.
At OpticalH, we strongly recommend adding this treatment to all our prescription glasses. It’s not a luxury; it is the standard for good vision.
2. The end of dirty glasses: Hydrophobic and Oleophobic
This is where quality of life truly shines. A cheap lens is porous; the grease from your fingers, makeup, or rain “sticks” to the glass. Cleaning them becomes a nightmare of smudges.
Premium coatings seal that porosity at a nanometric level:
- Hydrophobic: Water gathers into round droplets and slides off (Lotus effect).
- Oleophobic: Repels fingerprints. One gentle wipe and they are clean.
Protect your investment: What your optician uses and you should too
If you invest in high-tech lenses, don’t ruin them by cleaning them with t-shirts or paper tissues (which scratch the surface). To maintain that “new glasses” effect for years, use what the pros use:
Spray & Cloth
Alcohol-free formula that cleans and degreases without damaging the anti-reflective coating.
