Are lens coatings worth the cost?
Yes they are and here’s why. Anti-reflective (A/R) coatings minimize the reflections from the lenses that make it difficult to see your eyes, or many times, for you to see through reflected light. Scratch resistant coatings are applied to both sides of plastic lenses to reduce the risk of surface scratches. UV coatings protect your eyes from exposure to ultra-violet rays which can cause corneal sunburn and may also contribute to the development of cataracts and retinal-tissue damage.
