How to Remove Anti-Glare Coating From Eye Glasses

Anti-glare coating on your eyeglasses is made using the same type of technology that̵7;s used on camera lenses and even microscopes. Many people feel that it improves their vision and makes their eyeglasses look better; however, if you̵7;ve tried out anti-glare coating and decided it̵7;s not for you, you can have the coating removed. Do not try to remove it yourself; you may damage the lenses.

Instructions

• 1

  Schedule an appointment with your eye doctor to discuss removing the anti-glare coating. Be sure you let the office know the reason for your visit, and don̵7;t forget to bring your eyeglasses.

• 2

  Talk to your doctor about repairing scratches in the anti-glare coating. Many people want to get the coating removed because it̵7;s been scratched. However, your doctor may be able to repair the scratches, making it unnecessary to remove all the coating.

• 3

  Discuss the fees of removing the anti-glare coating. It may be cheaper for you to order completely new lenses without anti-glare coating than to have the coating removed from your current lenses.

• 4

  Wait for the anti-glare coating to be removed. The process typically involves polishing the eyeglasses with an abrasive or using a chemical treatment. Don̵7;t try to complete either of these processes yourself. Odds are, you̵7;ll end up damaging the lenses even more and have to order new ones anyway.

• 5

  Only use recommended cleaning liquids and cloths to clean your eyeglasses, whether you have anti-glare coating or not. Products that haven̵7;t been recommended by your eye doctor can scratch your lenses.
