How to choose lens coatings
Lens coatings are an important and often undervalued way to improve your glasses. The right coating enhances durability and functionality and elevates your overall visual experience.
For everyday glasses
For everyday wear we recommend anti-glare lenses with a durable protective coating and built-in UV protection. Build your lenses in the studio →
UV protection coating
A UV coating is applied to the lens surface to block nearly 100% of UVA and UVB rays up to 400 nanometres, protecting your eyes from sun damage and reducing the risk of long-term eye health issues — so you can enjoy clearer, safer vision every day.
Anti-glare and durable coating
Eliminating lens reflections allows more light in, improving vision and decreasing eye strain, while also giving glasses a sleek look. The coating is especially beneficial for drivers — enhancing safety by making it easier to spot road hazards and reducing night-time glare from lights for a more comfortable drive.
With added scratch-resistant durability, your lenses stay clearer and perform better for longer.
Blue light coating
Blue light from devices and daylight has a short wavelength that penetrates the eyes, risking retinal damage and strain. A blue light filter in glasses neutralises this, protecting your eyes and providing a more comfortable visual experience.
Hydrophobic coating
Our hydrophobic coating effectively absorbs moisture to combat lens fog-ups. It's especially beneficial when wearing masks, enjoying hot drinks, cooking, or being outdoors — giving consistently clear visibility, even in challenging situations.
Honeycomb coating
Honeycomb lenses revolutionise visual clarity. Expertly crafted by one of the industry's leaders in Jai Kudo, these lenses offer enhanced contrast and reduced glare, mimicking nature's intricate honeycomb design. Experience unparalleled sharpness and reduced eye strain for optimal vision.
