Specialty Lens Coatings

Anti-reflective Coatings
Ultraviolet Coatings
Scratch-resistant Coatings

Ultraviolet light is invisible to the human eye. We all know that long-term exposure to Ultraviolet harmful to our skin, and the same holds true for our eyes. Cataracts, retinal damage, even corneal burns can be caused by intense exposure.

Since the greatest source of Ultraviolet light comes from the sun, it is most important that sunglasses with UV protection are worn. All prescription sunglasses sold at Visual Effects Optical are rendered 100% UV absorptive either with a special coating or by the inherent absorptive nature of some of the plastic lens materials. All plano sun wear sold at Visual Effects Optical are at least 99% UV absorptive as described by their manufacturer. Dr. Chet takes this seriously, and has claimed to refuse the sale of prescription sun wear without UV protection. In over twelve years that has not been necessary.
