Question:
Can You Get Anti Reflection Coating on your current glasses.?
I was wondering if you could get anti reflection coating on your current glasses. I had my prescription glasses for a year now and wonder if I could get the ARC on them.
I live in california and do you think they do them at wal mart or the mall.
I cant drive at night cause of the glare.
Answers:
My wife spent 13 years in optics (she quit 2 years ago) and as far as she knows, you can add ARC later on but it's not advisable. She said that any scratches, no matter how small, would be magnified by the new coating. Chances are, after a year, your lenses aren't in pristine condition. Your best bet is to get new glasses. You could probably even keep the same frames and just get new lenses put in if cost is an issue.
