Why Choose Heritage Low Reflection AR Lenses?
Heritage Optical Lab manufactures made-to-order low reflection ar lenses for optical retailers, laboratories, distributors and eyewear brands.
Third-Party Test Evidence
An SDC technical service report recorded 0.45% reflectance for a tested Heritage coating sample. This is a documented sample result, not a universal value for every material or order.
Program Flexibility
Choose from supported clear, driving, progressive, CR-39, high-index and blue-filter combinations.
Order Data Reviewed
Submit complete RX, material, design, coating specification, reflectance criteria, frame data and finishing. Availability and manufacturability are confirmed before production.
Practical B2B Supply
Start from free samples, then discuss repeat ordering, packaging and special engraving marks.
Who We Support
Low Reflection AR Lenses Options for Different Customer Needs
Select the appropriate low reflection ar lenses design, material, treatment and finishing from the prescription, frame, intended use and destination-market requirements.
A clear prescription lens with a compatible multilayer AR system designed to reduce reflections from the lens surfaces.
A clear prescription option that reduces lens-surface reflections; it does not remove environmental glare or guarantee a driving outcome.
Freeform distance, intermediate and near correction with a compatible hard coat and low-reflection AR stack.
Thinner 1.60/1.61, 1.67 or 1.74 options after prescription, design and coating-compatibility review.
Classic CR39 prescription lens with a compatible hard coat and multilayer anti-reflective treatment.
A compatible blue-filter lens system combined with AR coating after transmission and residual-color review.
SDC-Tested Reflectance: As Low as 0.45%
An SDC Technologies technical service report recorded reflectance values of 0.45% and 0.58% for tested Heritage coating samples. The ‘as low as 0.45%’ statement refers to the lowest recorded sample result.
It is not a universal guarantee for every lens. Actual reflectance depends on the substrate, coating stack, wavelength, angle and measurement method. Confirm the required performance specification with the Heritage RX team before ordering.
Transmission and Low Reflection Review
Visual transmission and surface Low reflections are reviewed using the selected finished-lens system.
ISO 8980-3:2022 specifies transmittance requirements and test methods for spectacle lenses where applicable.
Coating Surface and Durability Inspection
The finished lens is inspected for coating uniformity, appearance, visible defects and the agreed durability criteria.
Abrasion resistance does not make a lens scratch proof; cleaning and handling instructions remain important.

Low reflection does not mean zero reflection
A multilayer AR coating can reduce reflections from lens surfaces, but residual reflection remains and varies with material, coating stack, wavelength and angle.
How to interpret the 0.45% result
An SDC technical service report recorded reflectance values of 0.45% and 0.58% for tested Heritage coating samples. The phrase ‘as low as 0.45%’ refers to the lowest recorded sample result and is not a universal specification for every material, coating stack or order.
AR is separate from glare-control filters
Reducing reflections from the lens surfaces does not remove every environmental source of glare and does not guarantee a specific night-driving or safety outcome.
Performance must be measured
Confirm the required substrate, coating stack, spectral range, angle and measurement method before production; final performance should follow the approved specification.
- Submit the complete RX: SPH, CYL, AXIS, ADD and prism/base where prescribed.
- Select design and material: anti-glare, driving, progressive or another supported design with the required substrate and index.
- Define the coating stack: hard coat, AR requirements, residual-reflection preference and any compatible top coat, blue-filter or photochromic requirement.
- Provide fitting and frame data: monocular PD, fitting height, frame measurements or trace, mounting type and required position-of-wear data.
- Confirm testing: reflectance, transmission, appearance, adhesion, durability or abrasion criteria required for the order.
- Confirm commercial details: diameter, finishing, quantity, packaging, sample approval and destination market.
It is a spectacle lens with a material-compatible multilayer anti-reflective system designed to reduce reflections from the lens surfaces under specified conditions.
No. AR coating can reduce reflections produced by the lens surfaces, but it does not remove every source of environmental glare or guarantee a particular driving outcome.
No. An SDC technical service report recorded reflectance as low as 0.45% for a tested Heritage coating sample, but residual reflection remains. Actual results depend on the substrate, coating stack, wavelength, angle of incidence and measurement method.
Compatible programs can include CR39, selected high-index, polycarbonate, Trivex, photochromic and blue-filter lenses after substrate, design and processing review.
No. A compatible hard coat can improve abrasion resistance, but proper cleaning and handling remain necessary and no spectacle lens should be described as scratch proof.

Custom Low Reflection Anti-Reflective Coated Prescription Lenses
Heritage Optical Lab supplies low-reflection AR coated lenses for optical laboratories, retailers, distributors and private-label partners. Programs can include clear anti-glare, driving, Freeform progressive, CR39, high-index and compatible blue-filter lenses.
Multilayer interference coating
A material-compatible stack can combine a hard coat and multiple anti-reflective layers. Optical interference reduces selected reflections at the lens surfaces, while the final residual color and performance depend on the complete lens system.
Measured reflection and transmission
Residual reflectance and transmittance should be evaluated for the confirmed substrate and coating stack. One generic percentage should not be applied across every material, wavelength, angle and coating program.
Clearer lens appearance
Lower surface reflection can make the wearer’s eyes more visible and reduce distracting reflections produced by the lens itself. It does not change the prescribed optical power or remove every source of environmental glare.
Compatibility and durability
The final coating system must be matched to the substrate, prescription, design and processing method. Scratch-resistant or durable does not mean scratch proof, and cleaning and handling still affect service life.
