Anti-glare coating on your eyeglasses is made using the same type of technology that’s used on camera lenses and even microscopes. Many people feel that it improves their vision and makes their eyeglasses look better; however, if you’ve tried out anti-glare coating and decided it’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 don’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 it’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. Don’t try to complete either of these processes yourself. Odds are, you’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 haven’t been recommended by your eye doctor can scratch your lenses.
