Anti-reflective lenses can be recognized by the residual reflection. Regardless of the material used for the lenses, they have a characteristic colour when you hold the glasses at a slight angle against a white background. This is highly practical for the wearer: the optician can identify the anti-reflective coating and even offer the same high quality if a switch to another material is desired.

The residual reflection is usually green. The modern Duravion®  Premium lens Coating from ZEISS has an attractive, bluish residual reflection. The barely perceptible bluish residual reflection increases the amount of light the lens transmits to your eyes. And not only that ' the blue is less visible to the eye. This means lenses with this residual reflection have the advantage of making your eyes look clearer to other people and have fewer reflections. Your eyes look more natural, almost as if you're not wearing glasses at all.

So why not talk to your optician about the anti-reflective coating services on offer and about the coatings' durability today! Ask for their tips about what you need to look out for to ensure your coating lasts as long as it ought to.
