Coating for sunglasses and spectacles
We are frequently asked about which coating we suggest for coating spectacles. It would appear to be a simple question, but the answer to it is quite complicated.
Modern spectacle lenses are made from several different types of "plastics" or glass (most common in bi focal lenses.) In addition to the different substrates one has to consider the different coatings which can appear on the spectacles.
One then has to consider that the frames of the spectacles can be made of plastics or metals. Often there is a lacquer coating on the frames.
