  • In this video I explain the difference between Standard and Premium Anti-Reflective coatings. Providing visual examples of the Hydrophobic, Oleophobic and Blue Light blocking layers on the Crizal Alize, Crizal Avance and the Crizal Prevencia.
    I mention Crizal quite a bit in this video but in no way did they endorse or sponsor me. I also enjoy and mention the quality coatings made by Carl Zeiss, Shamir, Hoya and Techshield.

    Great video, clear and valuable. I wonder have you looked at frames/lenses for open-top cars. I have a small sports car and wear prescription polarised wrap-around bolle sunglasses. These are great for almost everything except for when I put the ‘top’ down. The sunlight gets behind the lenses and makes vision difficult (especially when driving in dappled sunlight). Wearing a baseball hat or a cool flat cap like yours 😆 solves the problem however I don’t always want to wear a hat (which also have a habit of blowing off). I would welcome any ideas. Maybe this could be the subject of a future video. Many thanks. Kenn

    I've had my Crizal Sapphire lenses for about three years now and they're still going strong, although I need to change them not because they're not functioning properly anymore; but because my powers have changed so I need to get a new pair. Crizal Sapphire coatings are pretty expensive, but when you compare them to other standard AR coatings, you'll see that the price to quality ratio is good because they're going to last you a really long time with nearly no decrease in quality.

    Thanks! Your presentation is very informative! It really helped me understand why my new PAIR glasses with anti reflective coating & blue light protection reflect the blue light from my computer screen and cellphone. I used Zenni before, with the same features (of course not the awesome design & versatility, & quality) and got no blue reflection. I interpret for patients all day via VRI. Sad to see they can't see my eyes that well, but glad I am protected. Since I have far & near sightedness, my prescription is complicated. I need them on all day. It would be great if you evaluated this Shark Tank winner brand! Love them!

      You don't need blue light filter to protect your eyes, the light of the sun itself has much more blue light, it's what keep your your day/night cycle in sync. Blue light filter is just to help you sleep better, but you have to use it only at night. And you can also turn on night shift mode on your devices and avoid bright white lights before bed.

    Love this video.
    I just got a new prescription for my Burberry frames two days ago. My Rx is for computer/reading with blue blocking light (higher end) with anti-reflective coating. I'm on Zoom calls all day and notice there is a noticeable bad reflection on my lenses in meetings. The reflection of my laptop screen are on my lenses. After that happened, I've read online that if you are on Zoom calls all day, it's best to not have blue blocking light lenses. I have 3-4 weeks to change my mind on lenses with where I got my glasses. Do I remove the blue blocking and just get AR lenses (Crizal 360)?
    With my old pair with blue blocking light lenses (one version older than the new ones), I do find they help with eye strain. I get less eye fatigue. Perhaps the size of lenses in my old pair of glasses are slightly smaller that the reflection wasn't so prominent but the Burberry frame lenses are VERY noticeable as the lenses are slightly bigger.
    Many thanks again for your time!

    • @EyeInfluence
      @EyeInfluence  5 років тому +2

      To be quite honest, at this point they are just about even. I wouldn’t recommend going for a blue light AR coating, instead, I would suggest looking into essilor essential blue lenses. They filter blue light in the lens and not through a coating. Then you can add the AR of you choice on top of that.
      In the next year or two blue light AR will be a thing of the past. It will all be done in the lens.
      Hope this helps. :)

      Gunnar has 4 lens options and one of them is called Crystaline. It has almost no color but the blue light filter is also really low. Felix Gray and Pixel offer 50% BPF and their lenses are virtually colorless. You should give them a try.

    • @EyeInfluence
      @EyeInfluence  5 років тому +1

      I think it has more to do with the position of my lighting than the AR itself. I try to place the lights at such an angle that it limits the amount of reflections. My coatings does have a bit of Greenish hue to it, it's just not too noticeable on the video.
      As for prevencia, I'm not a big fan. I own a pair and I would only suggest that for low blue light blocking computer glasses. I couldn't wear lenses with that coating all day. It had way too much color on it.

Have been told to only wear plastic lens due to my prescription. I knew going in that I would have the violet reflections from the front side but I am having issues with the backside of the lens. When light hits the back of the lens I am getting JJ Abrams violet lens flare. It's mostly in my peripheral vision but it's very distracting. Have been told to give it time although I don't know how that will resolve the issue. It seems to me the back side has more violet reflections than the front. Any input would be most welcome. Thanks

      It’s the prevencia coating. It’s for that same reason that I don’t like to wear lenses with that type of coating. You may want to look into filtering blue light on the lens level and not on the coating level. Look into Shamir Blue Zero or BluTech lenses. Those are better choices.

      It's really hard to say which company has the best quality AR coating since they all call it something different. If you could find an online company that uses Crizal, Zeiss or Shamir then it's easier to make a suggestion. I like the Shamir Glacier and the Crizal Sapphire coatings but those are usually only found through your local optical shop.
      As for night glare you may want to try a pink or rose color tint with an AR coating on top of that. Again, you may have trouble finding an online retailer willing to do custom work so you may end up having to visit your local optical store.

      Companies like Crizal, Zeiss and Shamir and pretty faithful to physical locations so they give them priority. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before we see them online.
      What I can say is many places will use the term "premium" or "superior" when describing their coatings but they are really just standard coatings. I'll do more research on online options and get back to you if I find more choices.

I take this a step further by only using cold water (they still come clean), and blowing the remaining water off of the lenses (so nothing touches them). I thought it would help to post the official cleaning method recommended by that lens manufacturer.

    I was told by an optometrists assistant that when it comes to blue blocking ar, they are practically all the same with different branding in 2019.
    I can hardly find any reviews for Hoya Recharge. I'm concerned it might not be good enough for my time at the computer. Have you had any friends that had it on their blue blocking lens? Can you maybe talk about it or comment on it?

    • @EyeInfluence
      @EyeInfluence  4 роки тому +1

      Correct, blue light blocking coatings all reflect blue light, they don't filter it. I have yet to find a blue light coating that I'm happy wearing all day. I'd rather have blue light filtering inside the lens.

    • @OgreKingMongrel
      @OgreKingMongrel 4 роки тому

      Eye Influence they also advised of that. Of lens types that absorbed instead of reflect. For example, shamir blue zero or something like that, is built into the very lens itself.
      I am enjoying my new glasses so far. The recharge is helping a lot more than my previous pair, but I'm afraid I may want filtering inside the lens more than the deflect.

      Really sorry for the delayed response. I'm a big fan of the Felix Gray coatings. I wouldn't call it premium, but I would say they are good quality. I find them easy to clean and with very little color. I'm not sure if you can get Crizal coatings through EyeBuyDirect but if so then I'd say EyeBuy has better coatings. Keep in mind that Felix Gray lenses are special because the lens itself filters blue light and not only the coating. So, you may not get a "premium" AR like the Crizal Avance but you're getting the total package with them, blue light protection and AR coating.
      Hope this helps. Sorry again for the delayed response.

    Hi thanks for posting informative vids . I'm subscribed, had a question, I'm currently going through a small disagreement with a online eye lense store. I purchased 3 sets of prescript lenses , trans 7, premium ar coating claiming anti fog water dust smudge repellent.. I showed the CEO of this company that they weren't anti fog through a video,, on feb 7th when I received them. So as of today they no longer advertise anti fog on any of there premium ar coating because of my inquiry. Also they do smudge easy but I did do the oil on lense test and oil rolled off like water does.. I was wondering will a standard ar coating with water repellent allow oil to roll off like water does??...
    ... Now I'm kinda confused and feeling robbed cause I'm not sure if I'm paying for premium ar but got standard, that says anti glare water repellent 100% uv. Oh and forsure I'm paying a nice amount of cash. . The CEO text me today saying they are anti fog , but to get 100% anti fog would require me to wait about 4 weeks , he didnt address the smudge proof issue either. I dont know what to think .. I googled search UA-cam cant find a answer ... thanks for your time

    • @EyeInfluence
      @EyeInfluence  5 років тому

      There are many AR coatings claiming to have premium features like Anti-static, oleophobic and hydrophobic layers. I have yet to find an AR coating that truly is smudge proof so with that I would say no matter what you pay you'll end up getting smudges.
      The features that are important on an AR coating are how easy they are to clean, how little color it has and how well it resists scratches. Everything else never going to be fully "proof".
      I've found that Crizal coatings perform the best when it comes to smudges, fog resistant and anti-static. Zeiss is another that I would trust because they make coatings for glasses and high end camera lenses. Outside of that I would be sceptical of their claims.
      I hope this helps. I know it's not a perfect answer but it could help guide your next purchase. Thanks for the sub and for watching the videos.
