Scratch Resistant

Thereโ€™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. Thatโ€™s why you should always request scratch resistant lenses (treatment) for your eyeglass lenses.

Many of todayโ€™s lens products have hard scratch-resistant protection built into the lensโ€”a hard surface treatment that is specifically designed to resist scratches. But itโ€™s not an automatic feature! Be sure to discuss scratch resistant glasses options with your eye care professional.

We put our glasses through a lot from day to dayโ€”and our children, even more so. Scratch resistant lenses can go a long way toward minimizing the everyday wear and tear we put on our eyewear.

Lens care for scratch-resistant glasses

Donโ€™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.
