he most common used
treatment on lenses today
is Anti-reflective treatments.
Commonly known as A/R.
These treatments are very
effective in reducing light glare,
especially night light glare, such
as headlights. However, for A/R
treated lenses to be effective
they must be clean. The best way
to clean any lens, including A/R
treated lenses, is to first rinse the
lenses. Rinsing will remove dust
and debris from the lens surface.
Second, use lens cleaner to
remove oils and other films on
the lens. After applying and
rubbing the lens cleaner to the
surface, rinse the lenses again.
Rinsing removes the cleaner and
oils from the lens. Last, dry the
lenses with a cloth towel. Paper
towels and tissues can be more
abrasive to the coating surface
treatment and can cause fine
scratches to the surface.
