I could tell the difference between the two. I guess what I appreciate the most about your videos is that you genuinely care. You don't have an agenda. You are not trying to upsell me on something, but educate. That makes your videos excellent.

I'm surprised you did not mention ghost lights. My first glasses did not have an AR coating, and at night, bright lights would be reflected back into my eyes from various angles so that I would see many more lights than there actually were. This made night driving very difficult and confusing—especially in unfamiliar areas. AR coated glasses eliminated this completely. For me, this was a safety issue. Cheers, Russ

So that's why these anime villains have these scary shiny glasses when they push them: They don't have anti-reflective coating.

[justincase]

Doc - your eyes are beautiful - I can't concentrate on the video...

[alplain]

You should be the most famous optometrist channel in the universe

[christinacunningham]

Just came from the eye doctor. We were so confused with their explanations. You made it all so much more clear!! Thank you so much!

[daltonhodge]

He had no choice becoming an eye doctor, they all have they same voice and his is that top tier level eye doctor voice

[grumpyelderberry]

I got glasses without it one time. Never again I would see reflection of my eyes in the glasses. So much better with the AR.

[pandabear]

Loved the video…I feel we’re taken advantage of a lot when buying lenses and especially lens coating “options” when buying glasses from your typical
Omnivision etc. businesses. Man they hit me with over 300.00 purely for lens
“options” and I’m really relying on your videos to get to the bottom of this….my prescription is very slight and it’s time we educate ourselves on eye lens function, features, prices, and brands also the difference between necessity and pushy sales tactics..we need to know especially because your vision is not only the most important of your 5 senses but the windows to the soul.

[MartinNeep]

It would be great if you could do a video comparing the different AR coatings and what their reflex colours look like. I'd be really interested to see a comparison between Duravision and Crizal.

[ccdg]

I love your optical. Im a licensed Optician in NY and i have never worked in a nice place like yours.

[cyberjoe]

Doc thanks for the video. I always thought these add-ons especially the AR, were just a way to boost the prices of eye glasses. No one has ever really explain the benefits when ever I got glasses.

[bernadettehurst]

My takeaway from this video is that if I buy a camera or telescope it will have anti-reflective coating, but if I buy a pair of glasses I get soaked for more money if I want the coating. By the time you're finished with "add ons" the glasses become unaffordable.

[truthmerchant]

Another really important advantage of an anti-reflective coating is if you have a high prescription. It eliminates the 'coke bottle' effect (where there appears to be concentric rings in the lenses).

[moiratechwitch]

I haven't watched the video and the only thing I can say is: get the coating... It will just make your day nicer

[therealdeal]

Dr Allen, the ring light makes your eyes look magical!

[michaelzeisler]

The only drawback is keeping them clean they smudge a lot

[anjalance]

I stopped getting the AR coating because before the year was up, my lenses were so smudgy that I had to turn my head to see clearly in some situations - and I wasn't a kid - but stuff that are considered rough on my glasses. I'll talk to the optician next time about it because friends have commented that my lenses reflect a lot of light and I do hate the halos when I rarely have to drive at night. Thanks for the info!

[Vanny_Dorito]

Just received a pair of glasses with the Crizal coating and it's leaps and bounds better than my last pair with another A.R. coating. Enough so that I did a little digging around to learn more about it. Really good stuff.

[emdixes]

I eventually got prescription eyeglasses. I’m learning a lot about eyeglasses.
Thanks D.E.H.
