What Are Lens Treatments & Coatings?

Lens treatments are added layers applied to existing lenses, or are manufactured along with the lenses. They add features that enhance your vision or eye protection.

Lens treatments or coatings improve the performance of any kind of lens. Looking for tinted lenses, anti-reflective coating, UV protection or polarized features? Check out our selection!

Which Lens Treatments Are Best for You?

  • UV protection

    The UV rays in sunlight can be harmful to the eyes, and may increase your risk of cataracts, macular degeneration and other eye conditions. Lenses that block 100% UV help to ward off various eye conditions and damage.

  • Scratch resistant

    Scratches, while not likely to affect your lens performance, are an annoyance that can interfere with clear vision. That’s why you should always request scratch-resistant lenses (treatment) for your eyeglass lenses.

  • Anti-reflective

    For fashion, comfort and clarity, anti-reflective treatments are the way to go. They make the lens nearly invisible, and cut glare from headlights, computer screens and harsh lighting.

  • Photochromic

    Photochromic lenses automatically darken in bright light and lighten indoors, so you can enjoy eye protection anytime, anywhere – indoors and out!

Our Wide Range of Lenses

Selecting the right eyeglass lens depends largely on its function. From single-vision lenses to progressive polycarbonate lenses, we are happy to help you find what best suits your needs. At Palos Eye Professionals, we have a full-service optical lab that produces your lenses with the latest state-of-the-art technology.

Lens Treatments FAQs

Are my glasses already scratch-resistant?

Many lenses today made of polycarbonate materials already have scratch-resistant features built in. However, most lenses are made of a resin known as CR-39, which doesn’t automatically include any lens coatings, so if scratch-resistance is important to you, ask your optician to confirm you are purchasing the right lenses for your lifestyle.

Do anti-fog glasses actually work?

If you wear glasses you already understand the frustration of seeing your lenses fog up as soon as you step inside from the cold. Small water droplets fog up your lenses when the surrounding temperatures are warmer than the lenses. Anti-fog coatings help prevent lenses from becoming cloudy no matter the weather.

Is anti-scratch coating on glasses worth it?

Even the best lens treatment can’t 100% guarantee that your lenses will never be scratched. However, the higher the quality of the coating, the better the protection.

Do I need polarized coatings?

Polarized coatings are anti-reflective, so they reduce glare from the sun, snow, water and pavement. If you plan to use your glasses around water or snow, these lenses let you see objects in sharper detail and can make colors look more vivid.

I appreciated the professionalism of the entire staff from receptionist, to doctor, to the technicia... n who fitted me and ordered my glasses. My only concern is that because I didn't have insurance coverage, I had to select a cheaper frame than what I am accustomed to having. The final price was higher than any glasses, with the same accessories, I have ever purchased. In the future I will be forced to shop around and not just accept the offer through my doctor's office. However, I was impressed that glasses were ready earlier than I was promised and everything was perfect. Good job but too pricey for my retiree income.

Loved everything about this office! So clean and a great selection of glasses. Dr Gamboa was so kin... d. Jeanette spent so much time helping me choose the right glasses and gave truly honest feedback. When I picked my new glasses up today, Laura was also so helpful. Great first experience!

Absolutely amazing experience there. Everyone was knowledgeable and the absolute sweetest. In just o... ne meeting my doctor was able to explain my migraines whereas it took more than 5 years at my last place (to not get a single answer). 10 out of 10, definitely coming back and recommending them to everyone I know.

Dr. Nisar and her associates are great. They explain everything to you before they do it. The recep... tionist is always cheerful and helpful with answers to your questions. I didn't buy glasses yet but I will be back in December to do that. I was going to go to one of the big chains my sears optical closed so I went here I am happy I did.

Dr. Nasir helped me through a really scary time when I was dealing with an inflammatory eye conditio... n. She was nothing but kind and compassionate towards me and helped to calm my fears. She saw me immediately and was very accomodating with her schedule. The office staff is so nice and very helpful. Highly recommend!

Class act, A++++ service from the moment I walked through the door. Since the pandemic started and I... began working from home, my usage of computer devices, including my laptop and I-Phone, has increased exponentially, which in turn has caused my reliance on readers to also increase exponentially. As a result of the increased computer usage + age + allergens I have developed severely dry, red, irritated, itchy, painful eyes, which in turn has caused me to rely on readers for every single up-close activity I do, even non-reading/non-computer activities, such as opening a bottle of water, even brushing my teeth. The staff are extremely professional and knowledgeable. Before I saw Dr. Nassar the assistant, Annette, did a thorough initial intake, asking me my symptoms. Then she did a battery of vision tests, I looked at different letters and different flashing lights and then she asked me what I could and could not see. After my initial intake with Annette I saw Dr. Nassar, who did additional vision screening as well as an extremely thorough and detailed eye exam. Based on the vision testing, along with my symptoms, Dr. Nassar came up with a plan specifically tailored to my vision needs and also to help with the chronic dry eyes. After I saw Dr. Nassar I went to pick out my eyeglass frames. They have an adorable little eyeglass shop with an excellent selection of eyeglass frames at all price points. I picked out an adorable pair of eyeglass frames, and they allowed me to put half down for the frames and then pay the rest when the eyeglasses are ready. Top notch all the way around! Highly recommend.

On 10/13/22, I visited the Palos Eye Professionals and was greeted pleasantly by the receptionist. ... I had my exam done with Dr. Clodfelter which is always great and the eye pressure exam was given by a very nice woman as well. The eye glasses representative, Annette was a joy to work with when picking out glasses for my son and I. Annette was helpful, personable and friendly. Her colleague chose great glasses for my son's face. My experience here was excellent. I would definitely return and recommend for others!

I have been going to Dr. Brad Clodfelter for over 25 years. He is the best eye doctor in the busines... s. And a great guy. He recently joined Palis Eye Professionals, and their staff is amazing. Highly recommended!
