Anti-scratch coating

Anti-scratch coating or Scratch-resistant coating is a scratch resistant film or coating that can be applied to many surfaces, but is most commonly applied to optical lenses. The term can appear as anti-scratch lenses.The coating does not interfere with how the lenses function and does not affect vision, but creates a permanent bond with the lens that reduces the appearance of hairline scratches which is common to eyeglasses lenses. Though an anti-scratch coating is not 100% scratch proof, it helps to prevent minor scratches that can easily happen to a regular lens. These minor scratches can damage the surface of the lens and impare vision. Anti-scratch coating acts as a protective layer thus making the lenses more durable.
