			Exactly as exactly as the name implies.

		to reduce them from getting scratched.

		If a lens scratches it reflects light and interfers

Antiflective Lenses

Anti reflective lenses have been treated - generally these have a treatment that results in thin coating on the surface of the lens designed to reduce the light rays that reflect off the surface of the lens. The lens reduces glare, improves the clarity of vision and makes the lenses appear almost non existant.

The coating will help with night time driving and reduce the annoying reflections caused by car headlights. The ARC is an exacting application of . If ARC is not done to exact speficications it can scratch or peel which reduces it's effectiveness.

It is important to keep the lenses clean and free of scratches and oils because the lenses are so clear even a fingerprint will be quite visible on the lens surface. The goal in production of ARC lenses is that of a clean, clear and scratch resistant lens.

We recommend 1.6 or Trivex lenses with anti reflective lenses for most prescriptions.
