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 Andover Optometry on Central, we have a full-service optical lab that produces your lenses with the latest state-of-the-art technology.

Best service and most friendly staff! I have terrible nearsightedness, so I’m very picky about whe... re I go for eye care. Dr. Deshaies is patient, answers my million questions when I go in, and is really looking out for his patients. Big thank you to Marcia for helping with the payment and contact ordering process and making it easy. Come here if you want to be taken care of!

Have been coming to the doctors here since 1976! Even came during summer visits to the US when I wa... s living in Australia. Have gone to a couple of other practitioners, once each, when for some reason I could not come here, but never considered changing to one of them.

Recently having trouble with my frame adjustment, unable to read correctly and very tight on the sid... es. I had the pleasure of working with Joe, he went out of his way to adjust the lenses and the frames to make them comfortable and with correct vision. He went above and beyond listening to my issues and patiently corrected the issues. In the past I had the pleasure of being helped by Marsha and Sheila with similar positive outcomes. I highly recommend Joe and this entire practice.

I had a serious eye issue that required immediate surgery in Boston. Dr wantabe squeezed me that mo... rning , diagnosed my eye issue and got me set up at Massachusetts eye and ear. I appreciate the care I got from the Dr and the entire office.

Was told by another eye doctor…that “nothing was wrong and that it was all in my head”.. I avo... ided going to a doctors ever since due to being gaslit into believing that nothing was actually wrong with my eyes. Six years later, I woke up enough courage to go here hoping to have a semi good experience. When I tell yall I have never been treated with such good care and was actually listen to… I WAS SHOCKED (from my past experience) Anyways, my results. My eyes were fine (with a small prescription) BUTTT I did have astigmatisms in each eye which was causing me to see doubles, having light sensitivity, seeing “smoke” & “stars”, and overall feeling like I’m straining my eyes just to see close up or far away DAILY. Now that I have a prescription that is properly made for my eyes. I’m seeing things so clearly!! I swear I’m seeing in 4K. It’s remarkable. I will be a returning client and will be recommending others to come here!! The style of glasses are wide as well. The women with the red hair (who helped me with my glasses/ payment) is AMAZING. She made me feel so beautiful, comfortable (I'm very shy), and excited for my glasses. I wish I knew her name but she definitely deserves the acknowledgment for her work & her interaction with the patients!

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.
