Sunglasses Lens Surface Treatment Techniques
Surface treatment techniques for sunglass lenses not only affect the price but also determine the performance, appearance, and suitable scenarios of the lenses. Here’s a detailed analysis to help you choose the right lens type and process for your needs.

a. UV Protection Coating
All high-quality sunglasses come with a UV protection coating that effectively blocks 100% of ultraviolet rays (UVA and UVB).
It serves to protect the eyes, reducing the harm from ultraviolet rays and preventing eye diseases caused by long-term exposure.

b. Anti-Scratch Coating
Provides additional protection against scratches, extending the lifespan of the lenses.
Suitable for lens materials that are prone to scratches, such as polycarbonate lenses.

c. Anti-Reflection Coating (AR Coating)
Reduces reflective light, avoiding interference from sunlight or other light sources, especially important in strong reflective environments.
Offers clearer vision and reduces visual fatigue.
Customize your AR coated lenses.

d. Anti-Fog Coating
Prevents fogging of the lenses due to temperature differences or humidity, keeping the vision clear.
