Scratch-Resistant Treatments
Help Keep Vision In The Clear.
There’s no such thing as scratch-proof lenses. (Even glass
lenses can be scratched!) Scratches, while not likely to affect your lens
performance, are an annoyance that can interfere with clear vision. That’s why
you should always request a scratch-resistant treatment for your eyeglass
lenses.
Many of today’s lens products have hard scratch-resistant
protection built into the lens—a hard surface treatment that is specifically
designed to resist scratches. But it’s not an automatic feature! Be sure to
discuss scratch-resistance options with your eye care professional.
We put our glasses through a lot from day to day—and our
children, even more so. Scratch-resistant treatments can go a long way toward
minimizing the everyday wear and tear we put on our eyewear.
Lens care as scratch-resistance.
Don’t forget, no treatment can completely protect eyeglass
lenses from scratches. But you can help out! Remember to keep your glasses in a
cushioned, sturdy case when not wearing them. Clean them regularly with warm,
soapy water and dry them with a clean, soft cloth. With scratches as with life,
a little extra care goes a long, long way.
