Hello whenever you can reply, please do. I had my eyeglasses' lens changed to AR lens yesterday and from the experience I've had I think it's pretty much horrible. whenever I take a look at the sun or at just being in a room that's lit, I see a few blue dots in front of me. I can't imagine me feeling comfortable with this. Is this normal?
Greetings, and thanks for the information! There are 3 questions I have with regards to the matter at hand: (1) How would an AR coating influence the effect I have on my current glasses, where I can see my own eyes reflecting into the lenses back at me while wearing them? I am aiming to get rid of this effect, and was wondering if making new lenses with or without it (I don't know if current ones have it or not) would make a difference in this sense. (2) Do AR coatings interfere with anti-computer screen coatings (the ones that mellow out blue light, making it warmer)? If so, how, keeping in mind the first question? (3) In prescription sunglasses, in a context where they will not be polarized, as they would interfere with the car's displays, would you recommend an AR coating or not for driving?
I've had prescription yellow tinted glasses for dusk / night driving to enhance the contrast & sharpen up the image. Would an AR coating be redundant & actually prevent more light from getting to your eyes?
Hello, are you referring to an Anti-Reflective coating that appears red rather than green, or do you mean as a mirror coating? Oakley offers a few lenses with a red reflective mirror like Prizm Torch and Road, however Anti-Reflective coatings appear clear albeit with a green or sometimes blue hue when looking at them from an onlooker's perspective
I wore my glasses to the sauna and didn't realize that the heat would cause the coating to come off got home and realized my lenses looked weird while wearing them did some research and indeed excessive heat will cause the coatings to fall off so yeah don't wear your glasses in excessive heat conditions
You forgot to mention the crazing. Accidentally forget your glasses in the car, crazing. Get too close to a campfire, crazing. Walk from a super cold winter day to a warm house, crazing!
Good point! Another factor into whether crazing will occur has to do with the quality of the materials. Cheaper coatings and treatments will no doubt increase the chances of damage to the lenses.
Still have questions regarding AR coatings? Let us know down below!

Hi, I love your Oakleys, what Oakleys are you wearing? Are they AR because I’m seeing glare on them so is that normal?
Hi! They're the Oakley Scavenger, made with a flash mirror that has an AR backside and a light amber tint to help with contrast.
would you know which exact type of coating oakley offers that will give off a red reflection on my lenses rather than green?
