Step 1
Determine if anti-reflective coating is the right choice for you. Anti-reflective coating on sunglasses can help if you experience increased glare and halos around lights. This is done by allowing the light to go through the lenses completely and not reflect off of the lens material creating a glare.
-
Step 2
Discuss the difference in types and brands of anti-reflective coating for sunglasses that are available. Your eye care professional can assist you with the differences between types and brands and order sunglasses with the coating on the lenses.
-
Step 3
Order anti-reflective coating for your sunglasses to be placed on the back of the lenses only. Anti-reflective coating only needs to be applied to the backside because sunglass lenses are dark and can appear smeared if applied to the front side. Additionally, the coating on the back side of the sunglasses will minimize the light that enters from behind you.

Step 4
Buy anti-reflective coating for increased durability of prescription sunglasses and to enhance the quality of the lenses. The anti-reflective coating increases scratch resistance and makes your sunglasses more resistant to dirt and water, a must for any day at the beach.

Step 5
Purchase sunglasses with anti-reflective coating from specialty manufacturers and sporting goods stores without a prescription. Harken offers sunglasses for sailing enthusiasts with interior anti-reflective coating for under $100.
