Scratch Resistant Coating for Glasses

Most of us get often frustrated with scratches on our lenses even though we try to take the best care of our glasses. Well, here is some important information you need to know. No eyeglass lens material is scratch proof. However, a lens that is treated with a scratch coat does become more resistant to scratching. Most types of plastic lenses, including high-index and polycarbonate, have scratch-resistant coatings automatically placed on them during manufacturing due to their softer nature. Most scratch coatings are inexpensive and will come with a one-year warranty against normal scratching, making it a good investment. In general, glass lenses will scratch less easily than plastic lenses, and plastic lenses will scratch less easily than high-index lenses. Some people are willing to sacrifice the weight of glass lenses over plastic just to avoid extra scratches. We highly recommend a scratch-resistant coating especially for those who work in dusty and dirty environments.
