What are coated lenses supposed to do anyway? I've had the same pair of
plastic progressive lenses for about 7 years - I clean them in the sink
when I do dishes, wipe with a soft cotton towel. Not a scratch on them.

Coatings reduce glare. Makes for better night driving, especially in the
rain. Makes your eyes more visible to others also. When you look in the
mirror with a standard lens you see light reflecting. With coated, you see
a perfectly clear lens. Yes, it is overpriced, but it does help.


The anti-glare is nice, but the main coating I try to get is the stuff
that makes it not scratch. Having coke bottle lenses, I can't get glass,
so scratches are a problem.
