Are You Looking Through Dirty Glasses
Published: Wednesday 16th March 2011

Do You Find That Your Glasses Lenses Get Dirty And Grease Up Quickly?

If so, we now use Nikon to coat our spectacle lenses. Nikon are world leaders in lens coating technology. Their world class premium camera lenses are evidence of their dominance in high quality lens manufacturing.

Nikon offer 2 levels of spectacle lens coating quality:

The Nikon HCC coating is a scratch resistant, anti reflective and water repellant coating giving durability and excellent vision.
The new Nikon Icon coating goes one step further, by being oil repellent (or oliophobic). This additional property means that the normal oils of the eyelids and lashes are less attracted to the lens surface. This reduces smeary marks on the lens and makes them very easy to clean & much easier to see through.

From personal experience, I would always recommend Nikon Ikon coatings for all spectacle lenses.
