This results in improved vision and reduced eye strain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This lens coating is made up of several extremely thin layers of metal oxides that are applied to the front and back of the lens. Each layer helps block a specific wavelength of light to help eliminate reflections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">If you notice that your lenses have a bit of color to them, don\u2019t worry. All AR coatings reflect some color, depending on the manufacturer. The most commonly reflected colors are blue, green, and yellow-green. The reflected color is only visible when looking at the lenses from certain angles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"TextRun SCXW169504821 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW169504821 BCX0\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"heading 2\">Is Anti-Reflective Coating Worth It <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW169504821 BCX0\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"heading 2\">for<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW169504821 BCX0\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"heading 2\"> You?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The primary goal of AR coating is to provide clearer vision and reduce glare.
