What is AR coating? Anti-reflection, anti-static, key technologies that allow you to see more clearly

What is AR coating? How is it different from REVO coating?

AR is the abbreviation of Anti-Reflective, which is called "anti-reflective coating" in Chinese. It is mainly coated on the inside of the lens (the side close to the eye) to reduce the "secondary glare" caused by light reflected from the inside of the lens back to the user's eyes.

1. AR and REVO are complementary technologies:

2. Three core benefits of AR coating

• Anti-reflection: Reduces secondary reflections inside the lens, making your vision clearer and more stable.
• Anti-static: Reduce dust absorption, the mirror surface is not easy to get dirty, and the cleaning burden is small.
• Water and oil resistant: Anti-fog, anti-sweat, anti-oil film, the lens stays clear and not blurry for a long time.

GoPlayer® AR full screen anti-reflective coating technology

In general commercially available sunglasses, AR coating is often only applied to the central visual area of ​​the lens. In order to save costs, the edge areas are not fully covered. Such a design can easily cause blurred edge vision, reflection interference, and even focal length shift when the user turns his or her gaze or lowers his or her head.

The AR anti-reflective technology used by GoPlayer® is a full-screen coating structure (Full-Lens AR Coating) , which covers the entire lens surface and has uniform anti-reflective function from the center to the edge. This technology has the following four major features:

• Comprehensive coverage | True 360° anti-reflection without blind spots <br>Whether you are looking straight ahead, sideways or lowering your head to pick up something, the lens can effectively suppress internal reflections at every angle, making your vision more stable and undisturbed. It is especially suitable for activities in high-contrast light environments, such as golf, skiing, cycling and driving.
• The industry's lowest reflectivity design | comparable to optical-grade coating <br>Using high-grade optical AR coating, the reflectivity is reduced, which greatly improves the transparency and contrast sensitivity of the lens, making it less fatigue-prone when worn for a long time.
• Anti-static and dust-proof formula | The mirror surface is refreshing and not easy to get dirty <br>The special nano-coating contains anti-static particles, which can effectively reduce the dust in the air adhering to the mirror surface, effectively extending the cleaning cycle and keeping the mirror clean and clear.
• Super hydrophilic anti-fog coating | To cope with high humidity and sweat environment <br>The entire series of AR coatings are combined with oil and water resistance functions, so it is not easy to fog even if sweat vapor is generated after strenuous exercise or activities in a humid environment. For those who exercise outdoors for a long time, it is one of the key technologies to improve stability.

Not all sunglasses brands are equipped with this full-screen anti-reflective technology. Only a few brands with high-end sports design and optical backgrounds will apply it to lenses to provide users with sports equipment that is truly "considered from a visual perspective."

International data supports the benefits of AR coating

• A study by the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) shows that lenses without AR coatings cause more than 40% risk of eye fatigue under strong light.
• German Zeiss Laboratory Report: AR coating can improve visual contrast sensitivity by 8-12%

High-end sunglasses that take both the inside and outside into consideration

Sunglasses not only need to block light, but also provide a good optical experience. GoPlayer® full series of glasses are equipped with AR anti-reflective full coating, combined with REVO coating and UV400 full-band protection, so that you can still see accurately and clearly in strong light and wear it for a long time.
