Lens Coatings Guide
Choose the right coating for how you actually wear your glasses
Coatings can improve scratch resistance, reduce glare, support screen comfort, enhance driving visibility, or turn clear lenses into light-reactive or sun-ready lenses. Browse the EverClear coating range below and choose the option that best fits your day-to-day use.
Quick guide
For everyday wear
Start with EverClear or EverClear Plus for general anti-reflection, cleaner optics and everyday durability.
For screens and digital use
EverClear Blue is the most relevant option if you spend long hours on phones, laptops or office screens.
For night driving
EverClear Drive is the strongest fit if glare from headlights and poor contrast are your main problem.
For changing light outdoors
EverClear Photochromic darkens outdoors and clears indoors for a flexible all-day option.
For sun and glare
EverClear Polarised is best for bright conditions, reflections from roads or water, and outdoor use.
For myopia control lenses
EverClear Anti-Bacterial is included on all myopia control lenses. Upgrade to Blue Anti-Bacterial for children with heavy screen use.
