Read MoreAll about Hard Coatings
Hard Coating is a scratch resistant coating applied to the lens that adds durability, longevity, and visual quality. This coating is necessary for some materials, and many lens blanks come with a hard coating on them already. An example is poly-carbonate lenses, which come with a coating on both sides as they are very easy to scratch. When surfacing the backside coating has to be removed, so we apply a new hard coating to the backside of the lens before completing an order. We apply a backside hard coating on every lens material from poly-carbonate to a 1.74. There are two options that we use in the lab, Spin Coating and Dip Coating

Tints reduce the amount of light that hits the eye to protect them from harmful rays from the sun. There are many options when deciding which type of tints to offer your patients and this week we are taking a look at all of them!
