AR coating at Eyeglasses Store

Recommended Posts

warcelo

I was looking at one eyeglass store about the ar coating that they do in prescription lenses for only 25$

so i asked if they would do it in a sapphire watch glass and they didn't knew, cuz they never done before in sapphire,

but they said that they can do in mineral glasses and polycarbonate glasses.

So, should i give a try? Will i waste 25$ ? Have someone done this before? ( i have and old sapphire glass here for a test )

 

Thanks you guys!

This would be great to know. I hope you will follow up on this. Great idea. I wouldn't have imagined this as an option. If anyone has done this I hope they will post. Well done...

 

Does the AR coating help alot with the flash from photography?

 

Great idea...hope it works.

Don't waste your money. I took one for the team and did it 3 years ago. It's much to green and not nearly as scratch proof as good watch ar.

I have 3 watches, 1 with ar coating, is't a way better to take pictures and looks amazing.

 

I think i will have a try, but if someone tell me that have done it before i will not waste 25$ to ar my old sapphire glass.

@KBH - Good to know that it works!

The store that i went told me that they have 3 kind of AR treatment, on being green ( 15$ ), other blue/purple ( 25$ ) and the most expansive is 50$ but it's almost transparent.

 

I not doing both sides, i want to avoid scratches!

But thatnk you a lot for the info! Now i will not waste my money! :D

The only thing I liked about it was how easy it was to take off. :)

 

I did both sides and the back side started rubbing off on my finger. I don't think they did that side correctly. The other side was a little harder but came right off with a little pad of Never-Dull wadding.

Good to know...

 

Aside from the poor quality you found KBH...the colour things sounds risky.

 

Well the idea was a good one, even it it didn't work out. If not for trying, I wouldn't know I could take an antique claw foot bath tub to the auto body shop for glass beading and repainting. So, some things work out and some don't.

 

Thanks for the update. :)
