AR Coated Lenses Deserve Special Care

Anti-reflective (AR) coatings improve vision clarity, reduce glare, and enhance lens appearance — but only if they’re cared for properly.

Here are a few quick tips to extend the life of AR-coated lenses and keep them looking flawless:

✅ DO:

• Use a microfiber cloth and AR-safe lens cleaner only.
• Rinse lenses with lukewarm water before wiping to avoid scratching.
• Store glasses in a hard case when not in use.
• Clean regularly to prevent buildup of oils and dirt.

🚫 DON’T:

• Avoid paper towels, tissues, or clothing — they can scratch.
• Never use household cleaners like Windex or vinegar — they break down coatings.
• Don’t expose lenses to extreme heat, like leaving them in a hot car.
• Skip ultrasonic cleaners unless you’re sure they’re safe for AR coatings.
