Anti-reflective coatings
In order to guarantee a long life of the lenses and to improve their optical properties, OPHTHALMICA develops and applies technically sophisticated coatings that protect the lenses against scratches and dust.
In addition, these coatings minimise disturbing light reflections, are anti-static to repel dust and therefore ensure an optimal visual comfort.
OPHTHALMICA offers a multitude of coating options, according to the customers’ personal lifestyles and their needs - from high-tech antireflective coatings to trendy sun-lens mirrors.
State-of-the-art Nano-coating technology for high-quality lenses
All OPHTHALMICA coatings provide the highest quality and long durability. In terms of its manufacturing technology, a spectacle lens coating consists of a multi-layer package of up to 8 extra-thin - only a few nanometers thick - layers on the front and backside of the lens.
OPHTHALMICA's coatings thus increase the visual comfort of the wearer and the durability of the lens with its highest quality "Made in Germany".
Our guarantee: All our coatings come with a 36-month coating guarantee.
Advantages of OPHTHALMICA Premium Anti-Reflection coatings:
Comfort and pure aesthetics
Effective scratch protection
Premium anti-reflective - for reflex reduction
Oleophobic - grease and dirt repellent
Hydrophobic - water repellent
Antistatic - dust repellent
OPHTHALMICA offers different antireflective coatings:
OPH-AZUR is our latest development of anti-reflective coating and offers the highest transmission of 99.7% with a bluish / purple residual reflection. The hydrophobic effect of the surface (similar to a lotus leaf) helps water drops to drip off and repel dust and dirt particles. With the super-hydrophobic Lotus coating, the lenses stay clean longer and are easier to clean.
Benefits
- Best transparent vision with a bluish / purple residual reflection
- Highest light transmission with 99.7%
- Fatigue-free vision through maximum reduction of reflexes
- Hard coat scratch resistance with easy-to-clean smooth surface
- Reduces eye strain and improves vision
- Made in Germany
OPH-Satin is the premium super-anti-reflective coating with lotus effect for a clear, transparent and superior vision with a slight greenish residual reflex. The hydrophobic effect of the surface (similar to a lotus leaf) helps water drops to drip off and repel dust and dirt particles. With the super-hydrophobic Satin coating, the lenses stay clean longer and are easier to clean.
Benefits
- Better transparent and clearer vision
- Fatigue-free vision by reducing reflexes
- Lens surfaces are hardly noticeable with pleasant residual reflexes
- Hard coat scratch resistance with easy-to-clean smooth surface
- Best light transmission (99.5%)
- Made in Germany
OPH-ICE offers a hardly visible, colourless residual reflex. The discrete anti-reflective coating with a 99.5% transmission is particularly suitable for the wearers of colourful frames and sun protection lenses. With the super-hydrophobic Lotus coating, the lenses stay clean longer and are easier to clean.
Benefits
- Best transparent vision with a neutral, colourless residual reflection
- 99.5% transmission

- Made in Germany
OPH-Ideal + offers a clear, comfortable and transparent vision.
This Premium Super Anti-Reflective coating OPH-Ideal + guarantees the maximum surface protection with the hardest coating for your lenses with a 0.5% green residual reflex, a cleancoat layer and an antistatic layer to reduce dust adhesion.
Benefits
- Better transparency and clearer vision
- Scratch resistant hard coat
- 0.5% green residual reflex
- Clean-coat, anti-static
- Best light transmission
- Made in Germany
OPH Classic offers the wearer a comfortable multiple reflection with a 1% light red-violet residual reflex. The Clean-coat sealing layer offers an effective dirt-repellent effect.
Organic lenses are lighter but also softer than mineral glasses, therefore also more sensitive to scratching. With this new, improved OPH three-component hard coat lacquer, this high-tech lacquer forms the basis for our anti-reflective coatings.
The OPH hard coat layer offers the optimum surface protection for all organic lenses for a lasting scratch resistance.
Our mineral lenses, like the organic lenses, receive the perfect coating protection.
With the Clean-Coat sealing, OPH-Mineral Super-ET provides a dirt- and grease-repellent effect for easier cleaning and offers a pleasant green residual reflex with the highest transmission rate of 99.5%.
OPH-Mineral Classic-ET offers all the benefits of the Super-ET antireflective coating and comes with a 1% residual reflection for comfortable and robust surface protection.
OPHTHALMICA BV-Digital was developed to reduce the blue-violet light to block harmful blue light elements from entering the eye.
The BV-Digital Coating filters parts of the harmful blue light in our daily digital lives, thus ensuring perfect protection of the eye and, in particular, of the retina.
Benefits
- Front side of lens: allows the best transmission of good blue light and the reflection of the short-wave harmful light spectrum
- The UV light is completely blocked
- Back side of lens: Ideal+ Super-ET with green residual reflex achieving the best transparency
All BV-Digital coatings are provided with a hard coat and clean-coat care layer.
Properties
- Significant reduction of blue harmful light on the front side of the lens
- Transparent for useful blue light
- Super hydrophobic and oleophobic
- Slightly blue-greenish residual reflex
- Available on all organic OPHTHALMICA lenses (incl. stock lenses) in the indices 1.5 / 1.6
