Purchasing prescription glasses can be a challenge and often confusing when you do not know all the lens options. In this video, I walk you through different anti reflective coatings on glasses (such as anti reflective coating glasses vs blue light glasses), as well as showing different glare coatings and the pros and cons of each.
If possible, it is always best to consult your local optician or glasses shop for more information and details about what is best for you and your glasses prescription.

I got a question. I had cateraked (sorry I have autism and schizoaffective disorder) on both my eyes and they said I had the option to get artificial lenes put in both my eyes (I was legally blind) but now I can't see things close up without reading glasses and I don't like them can I get my old eyes back, please?
Oh. I have nystagmus too so I can't do a byfolcal
Or is there a special pair of glasses that can do both long and short version (with no bifocal)
Please can you make a video on best High index lense under 2000.
Hi I have no clue if you'll see this, but I wanted to ask if you know anything about Visual snow or Visual Snow Syndrome?
Hello sir . I have had 2 question since 1 month ago .how i can send you my question ? I should send 3 pic about ar , ag
I've been using crizal prevencia for ages.
But I've heard that Zeiss Duravision is better.
So I am thinking of getting a spare with that.
Some of us have been wearing glasses since we were children (over 50 years) and STILL have no idea what these terms mean WRT our glasses. Never assume…
Most optometrist shops never explain the differences between all these coatings, they just automatically recommend the most expensive coating, which make me suspect that they are just upselling but there is really no difference.
Glad i checked this video out. I just got all the upgrades for the first time, and was concerned about how these glasses looked different. I am glad i chose to get all the stuff this time around, im not very good about taking care of my glasses so having the anti scratch,smudge, etc is worth it. Thanks!
I have to say you continuously put-out great content which I have learned a lot from. Your enthusiasm on these subjects is addicting. 👏
Thank you so so so much! I really appreciate that.
Totally worth watching these videos for the educational quality plus the very, very cute doctor talking to us! 😉
This is very, very helpful. I have learned more from this video than I have from speaking to 3 different opticians. Terrific!!
Didn’t know about all this diversity in anti-reflective options! Thank you!! ♥️
Glad it was helpful!
@@DoctorEyeHealth amazingly help.
Love the video. I don't really have too much need for antireflective glasses yet but one day I will look back on this video and know exactly what I need to shop for :D
Best (maybe only??) explanation I've seen about these coatings/buyups.
I just got new glasses. My lenses have the crizal rock anti reflective. They are by far the best thing to put on your lenses. Not only are they the best for reflections. They're super scratch resistant. Finger print resistant. water resistant . And they're insanely easy to clean
So happy to hear that! I have heard a lot of people liking it. I have it on my new Transitions Xtractive lenses.
Hi i just have a glassed but none anti reflective lens . Do i need buy the new one or i can get anti reflective on my old glassed?
@@tramvuong294 you will need to buy new lenses . Or a new pair of frames and lenses together
Duravision Platinum UV also works great
How has the Crizal rock AR held up?
Great information! Thanks!
I've needed glasses for almost 50 years, and walking into an optical shop has always had a feel of playing Bingo -- I never knew if I was going to win, or win what, or when was my number ever going to come up, or even -- what is my number? What I love most about your videos is that now I can walk into an optical shop and let them know exactly what I'm looking for! Fit? yup. Coatings? yup. THANKS!!!!
I didn’t even know there was a choice in anti-reflective lenses at all! This was great information!!!
Yey! That makes me happy to hear! Thanks Erika!
Thank you very much for the very clear and description of AR. Lenses.
Happy to help!
I just got my first pair of glasses, all of this is so new to me. I'm rather excited to learn about glasses, this is very informative. Thank you!
Wonderful! I'm glad it was helpful
I use and enjoy Essilor Sapphire 360 along with a Shamir Blue Zero on my PAL’s. Love your enthusiasm and information!
Shamir was also a very good product.
Fortunately when I bought my first pair of glasses (at age 30) the seller ordered the anti reflective lenses without asking. Even before this video I didn't know there are more types of anti reflective lenses. Mine are the greenish ones (I guess they are cheaper) but I was never proposed another type. Thanks for the video, so much new information!
It's kind of amazing that they didn't push the AR on you. Premium AR coatings are worth maybe $20-$30 and they charge $100+ for them so I can't remember the last time I wasn't harassed to death about buying one 😂
You could contact us, we provide these lenses infact they are a bit less in India. Only thing is we'll have to courier it to you.
i just found your channel and thanks for taking the time to inform us about all kinds and types and anti glare lenses. here in PA i have my self the Nikon Lens set that i can get from my walmart that are anti glare, blue light, that also has a anti scratch coating on them. i will never go back from not having a anti glare for the sharpness for wanting to game and be on a PC really helps out a ton
That's awesome.
This is very helpful, im going for my new eye test this month and need new glasses. I struggle with bright lights in my eyes especially at night they blind me.
SO GOOD! 🤓
Thank you!!
Great info! I share your stuff with my opticians as a way to keep them informed.
Awesome, thank you! Glad I can help!
This was extremely helpful, now I will be equipped with the necessary information to get the lenses I need. I am on a lot of zoom calls so I need my next pair to have the latest technology to reduce reflection. Thank you so much.
Very useful vid. Now, let's see you do one on the various tinted lenses from yellow, blue, green, violet, etc., as they all do serve specific purposes like yellow for sports field vision/dusk-driving, etc. *A lil secret... The blue or purple tinted ones seem to aid those with colorblindness, esp. red/green. [This as it is very hard to find red ones, esp. in polarised.] I have Rx pairs in yellow & blue, aside Transitions. (I dod suspect this is why most Enchroma Trivex lenses are more violet tinted as well.)
I have mild deutan, or green light wavelength weakness. Have taken both Ishihara & H.R.R. book tests to reveal same results each time as it is congenital w/ my grandfather & brother also having it to some degree. (My brother less than I.) I've also got mild visual snow/static syndrome to go along w/ it which also creates a consistent, low-pitched ear ringing or some sort of tinnitus. But, we're veering way off course here...
I previously heard you mention the Crizal Sapphire coatings. I spent a small fortune on them and they were the absolute worst coatings I ever had. After a few months, it looked like I had scratched the lenses with sandpaper. That was just the coating peeling off. My local optical shop honored the warranty except I had to pay $25 for shipped to and from and wait about 3 weeks. The same thing happened about 10 months later. No warranty for the second failure. Since then I have had great luck with standard coatings and lenses from Costco and from Zenni.
Yeah man same shit
For few month it's 4k then back to 720p with smudges
I've bee using prevencia coated lens for ages (at least 7-8 years)
I even wash it with soap or even use sanitizers. No issues here.
I think the issue is with the 'premium' sapphire coating rather than crizal itself.
But I've heard that Zeiss is actually better to avoid glare, so I am thinking of getting a spare with Duravision, but I can't make up my mind which one to go for, platinum (sapphire competitor) or Blueprotect (prevencia competitor).
Thanks so much for the lecture including the blue light info! Gets very confusing figuring out the best needs for me as a videographer and editor. Using sapphire blue light filters currently and I kind of don’t like the yellow tint I see the world with. Also relatively expensive
Yep, can't have that yellow tint if you are in a profession that decides what colours to use for a project. I had Prevencias many years ago; the yellow tint was something I could get used to as I wasn't doing professional graphic design but the purple reflex colour was so obnoxious I moved to the Crizal Forte when I got new frames. But as those have broken at the bridge, I am in the market for new ones and am seriously thinking of getting the Sapphire HR.
Excellent info! If only I had this understanding before I recently purchased my glasses … 😳
Exactly! There is so little info about this so that is why I wanted to make this video! Hope it helps for next time.
Hey I love your videos they are very useful and informative, but I noticed there's no videos about Optic Nerve Drusen from yourself can u please do a video on this topic will really appreciate it :)
Thank you for this information
My pleasure!
There is a big difference guys, I got the anti reflective blue light blocker. It’s amazing
Great thank you DR
your videos are epic. thanks man!
Thanks so much, Chase!
Thanks for this great Video.
Why are you no longer wearing Glasses in your Videos and if you had to choose one Frame only then which one would it be and why ?
Thanks
turned into an anime character at 2:04 😂
love this channel and the content
This video is useful. Thank you. Would you please suggest me a glass to wear while driving at night to prevent glare comes from opposite vehicles?
Could you do on pros and cons video about buying glasses online for example zenni or eye buy direct? Thanks
Is this just a coating that I can order off Amazon or another website? I was wanting anti fog also.would the 2 be ok together and if so which anti fogger do you suggest.great video thank you
Could you do a part 2 video on the price ranges on anti-refletive coating
How do I know if my local shop is offering the great AR coating stuff or not? Are there brand names or keywords to ask for?
Hoya hi vision coating is one of the best! I’ve had them on my lenses and I trust the Japanese to make quality products!
Thankyou 👍👍👍👍
THKS.
actually for blue light filter lenses, they have new technology to make the lenses absorb the light instead of reflecting it via coating, so we would no longer experience the weird purple light appearing a lot when wearing these. Essilor BlueUV Capture & Zeiss Blueguard are those best candidates.
Still have a slight yellow tint though right?
It's a must have for someone that has astigmatism
I heard about rodenstock solitaire and hoya making great coating as well, there were as far as family members saying that rodenstock solitaire coatings are better that crizal sapphire, is it true? And i found information about hoya being fhe most scratch resistant of them all, have you had any experience with them?
Hello doctor, can we apply anti reflective coating after purchasing eyeglasses?
I’m a fan of Shamir Glacier Plus AR and the new Shamir Glacier Expressions AR!
I have heard good things but have not had a chance to try them! Maybe at VEE!
Hey doctor I have been suffering wth macular degeneration since I was 8 and for the past 16 years I've been going to a retina specialist and basically haven't had any treatments that helped. I take timalal eye drops took eye injections eye surgeries and nothing helped. Was wondering if you could create a video on stuff I can do at home that or any other options I could look at to help
Would something like the Sapphire 360 be helpful to reduce eye strain from screens at multiple distances (phones, TV, computer) ? Well it also be good for night driving?
I was recommended lenses made by Zeiss for my new frames. Can you tell me why you believe the Crizal Sapphire 360 is the better option? Thanks
Can I wear it with contact lenses ? I had hard time on work while wearing the contact lenses only
As ive said , iam stage 1 cataracts. After 14 yrs of having them they are just starting to give me alot of glare.Iam wondering if i can get glasses that reduce the glare , somewhat from cataracts until i would have surgery?
Hi, I would like to have good nigh-time driving made on prescription from optician. Would you recommend the high end/performence anti-glare lenses? Is there anything else I would need for that? Is polarization a different treatment to anti-glare?
after few years of using the anti-reflection lenses. now i understand the difference and i believe mine is the cheapest one
Do the coatings wear off with daily dish soup maintenance cleaning?
Hello, I work at a restaurant and most of the time I'm up at the front. The reflection of the cars kills me. What type of glasses would be suitable for this situation?
Good video.
Hi bro is lenskart a good option to buy glasses from there?
I am an artist/graphic designer. I have been wearing glasses for 50 years. I have only worn anti-glare for the last 2 pairs of glasses.
I honestly am happiest with NO anti-glare coating (and I have high performance lenses)
Great to hear this feedback! Any specific reason why? Do you know what type of lens material your glasses are made of?
Thanks
Can we add anti reflection coating on my old eye glasses, which is 2 years old which has lost anti reflection on its lenses .
Very interesting
Lights and ghosting are bothering me. Especially at night. I've been told my eyes are healthy and that I'm just aging (39). Very bothersome now this year...Would anti reflective glasses help or would you suggest lasik cause that is my next step
sir i am seeing so much lightning streak in my vision but my eye pressure is 12 and my retina is perfect so what would b the reason of lightning streaks in vision
Can you make a video about how to choose a lense that does not change your eye shape as much like make them seem bigger or smaller than they really are
High eye pressure after prk surgery is caused due to drops?
It will reduce right?
Hi doc does anti glare glasses really helps astigmatism?
I have a lot of nighttime glare due to the separation from the back of the wall which made a lot of floaters. The antiglare on my current glasses don’t help at all. Don’t know what type it is. But would these advanced glare treatments help?
Near a light I can see my nerves in front of my eyes.Is that a problem I can only say that when I remove my glasses plz help doctor
Any recommendations on where to buy pinhole glasses?
I am a book reader and computer guy. which glass should I buy? I need only one for both work.
Please can you make a video on best High index lense under 2000.
Dr. 😭 I just want to have me glasses already. I recently got the crizal prevencia (with essilor) lenses but the purple isn't something I'm too fond of. The shop I got them from has offered the alternative poly carb essential blue (with essilor) instead but im unable to find a comparison guide as of yet for that lense.
With the understanding that some color will appear (for the blue light filter coating) I just want to enjoy my new frames with minimal color to my lenses while still having the best protection for my eyes. Have you heard of such a thing or seen the essential blue series.?
I got Crizal Sapphire 360 UV when I got my glasses in 2017 (yeah, I know I'm overdue for new ones but I want to get my dry eye issues sorted first) and it's amazing that still to this day, there's not a scratch on them. They are a real pain to clean though and the place I went to to get them, their lab screwed them up twice. I ended up having to get Essilor themselves to remake them to finally get a pair with uniform reflex. I was thinking about Rock specifically because it's easier to clean but I really like the Sapphire's reflex, it's more natural and less noticeable. Didn't realize that the reflex was different between them!
Zeiss bluguard lenses have the blue blocking in the lens material then you can put their duravision platinum on top. They claim up to 40% of the harmful wavelengths while letting the good blue in
Can you provide some name brands for lenses that have the built in blue light filters?
Have you tried Hoya's AR coatings? They're simply the best! Especially the EX4 Meyrio!
Can you have a review on eyezen + crizal + blue capture combo 🙂
If you are getting prescription sunglasses that are polarized is the extra AR treatment just an unnecessary extra?
I've worn glasses for over 20 years. Always too cheap to get the anti reflective coating. But finally got nutty and spent the extra $5 at Zenni. SO much better at night. I never realized how much flare and glare there was, and the farther you look, the worse it is. With the AR coating, night time vision is suddenly much more clear. It's almost as though the light glare was some kind of solid material like smoke or fog. Daytime and computer/TV I don't see much difference, but after dark it is crazy how much better is it.
That's great! Thanks for sharing your feedback!
@@DoctorEyeHealth Are you able to explain why my wife sees a lot of light "flaring" at night when driving since getting glasses with the blue AR coating. It is so bad she cannot drive with these glasses. The coating is a Crizel product
I'm torn between anti blue light glasses and gunnar glasses which are basically yellow tinted glasses
Thanks!
Hey 👋 really appreciate the Super!!! You rock
What anti-reflective coating would you recommend for driving at night? Thank you and great information!
The Crizal Saphire 360 is my current favorite.
@@DoctorEyeHealthhow about zeiss blueguard + duravision platinum? Great work, mate!!
Very useful video. 😊👍 4:58 So would you say Essilor Crizal Rock is the best lens to go for, if you've previously had issues with your lens coatings crazing/degrading (as I have with Essilor Crizal Forte UV)?
I personally have liked the crizal saphire 360. However I think I just heard that they are changing some of the formulas.
@@DoctorEyeHealth OK, thanks. 😊 Yeah, I read that Crizal Sapphire HR (high resistance) is new for 2022 (with 70% more scratch resistance) and replaces Crizal Sapphire UV.
Great informative video...shopping for my first pair of glasses and my head is spinning from all of the AR choices. Lol! Also, love that pair of round Tom Ford frames...would you please provide the style number for them? Thank you
Right on! My Tom Ford Glasses: FT5290
Feel free to shop around but I know this website carries Tom Fords if you are looking for a similar frame.

@@DoctorEyeHealth Great, thank you! 😊
hi I speak from Brazil ,doctor do you have visual snow yet? Did you have any kind of treatment?
What’s the brand name of the frames with the Crizal Rock lens’s in this video? Thanks
HI DOC'
DOCTOR EYE HEALTH,
HOPE U CAN GET TO READ THIS PLEASE.
I would like to chat with u about my left eye please....
My eye had a blur & they said i had a cataract so they removed the cateract....
Eye still has a blur...
So they sent me to an eye institute...
They said i had 4 scares behind the eye that was preventing fluid from going away after the cateract operation so they removed the 4 scares from a head injury i received when a teenager Iam now 66.
The blur is like im always looking thru a glass of water & the fluid seems like its magnifying objects that i look at!
The blur is still there!
I live in Mandurah Perth Western Australia
What are y r thoughts DOC?
Can you review visioneer eyewears ultra light adaptive lenses? Thank You
Is having a coloured tint on glasses work? Like 25% blue.
Have you ever tried the Zeiss Duravision anti-reflective coatings? Would be nice to have a comparison between that and Crizal 🙂
IMO as a consumer whom already experienced coatings line up from crizal and duravision..I would say that the duravision coatings' line is superior than the crizal's in terms of clarity..angle of reflections and scratch resistance
Helpful info on topic!!
It would be great if you could make a do it yourself vid about eyeglass adjustments.
-Finding a skilled tech can be a frustrating experience.
@Simone Maxam .... I so agree!!
Could you please elaborate on your problems
maybe i could help you.
Do they work to eliminate the light reflection generated on the computer monitor? Because my problem is that the light reflects on the monitor and that causes eye fatigue? And I don't know how to solve it... And I don't have the possibility of changing the computer because of the furniture where I work.
Yes, I have an astigmatism. I also found that when I wiped my eyeglasses the rays were not as apparent though it did not go away completely. It was alarming because this was the first time I experienced this. It was like beams in a disco or light show. I also have antiglare on my glasses. Can scratches on the lens cause this too?
I have that issue with anti glare. They seem to make my astigmatic eyes worse and the anti glare get fingerprints/oily very easily. But maybe I’m just picky.
i see a lot of starburst around lights and i have 0.5 cylinder eye power i dont know how to reduce that starburst they are very annoying
I just got my glasses and the anti-reflective coating is very bad.Do I have to return the lenses and get new ones, or is there another solution?
Thank you🇳🇬💚
That's why my glasses smudge so much. The next pair of glasses I get will definitely not be the budget anti-reflective coating.
Also try cleaning them with Dish soap! It helps so much.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Before I knew about using dish soap to clean smudges on my budget lenses, I used soap all the time to clean them. I noticed so much damage and scratches over time. I didn’t know why the budget coating was deteriorating so fast thinking I was doing more good than harm by cleaning with soap. I told this to my optician and he told me to use dish soap or camera lense wipes instead of ordinary soap because it is less harsh on the lenses. You explain everything in meticulous detail! Thank you so much Dr. Allen for your videos!!! I love them and I learn so much! ❤️😍🥰.
Do you have a link to that last one?
Have you tried Zenni? I've heard good things.
