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 The Eye Group - Chapman Highway, we have a full-service optical lab that produces your lenses with the latest state-of-the-art technology.

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.

Great staff convenient location. Very good Doctor's

I highly recommend this office! I went for my first visit yesterday and it was a great experience. N... ot only were they significantly more afforded than other offices I called for my contact prescription, but they have an amazing staff. Dr. Cross is so kind, patient, and easy to talk to. He answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed, and genuinely seems like he cares about his patients. The front desk staff was nice, and after my appointment Precious was extremely kind and helpful explaining my insurance benefits and helping to price out contacts and glasses. I’ve lived in Knoxville 4 years now and I’ve been seeing different optometrists each year for my glasses and contacts, but I’m so glad I found Dr. Cross! I will absolutely be returning to this office next year!

Dr. Lora Cretella is one of the greatest optometrists I’ve ever encountered. She took her time exa... mining my infected eye, alleviating my fears about a potentially critical condition. Thanks to her expertise, my eye is now stable, and the medication worked effectively. Dr. Cretella is not only extremely knowledgeable, but she also took the time to get to know me as a new patient. I would recommend Dr. C to others!
