AR Coatings





Midwest Lens "House AR"
TitanAR is one of the strongest, most durable Anti-Reflective Coatings available. Using state of the art, computer controlled vacuum coating equipment, TitanAR delivers the best performance anti-reflective coating available today, which means your patients will see more clearly- indoors, outdoors or at night - with less eye fatigue with glasses that are more scratch resistant.

TitanAR improves the patients appearance by making the lenses virtually invisible by reducing the glare on the surface of the lenses.

One of the most frequent complaints of eyeglass wearers is the "halo" or "starburst" effect from lights at night. TitanAR significantly reduces these effects, producing a remarkable improvement in night vision. This is especially true while driving at night. Reduced glare from surrounding lights as well as oncoming headlights enables the patient to drive more safely at night.

What are the benefits of adding TitanAR coating to your lenses?
  • Eliminate reflections for clearer vision day and night

  • Reduce eye fatigue and improve overall vision

  • Easier to keep clean and more scratch resistant

  • Eyes appear more natural as lenses virtually vanish

  • Economic pricing so patients can benefit from better vision



Super HiVision gives you the highest level of performance

More than twice the scratch resistance of the leading AR Coating.
  • Only Super HiVision AR has scratch resistance comparable to glass (10.9 on the Bayer Abrasion Scale-no other coating comes close)

  • Hoya's exclusive Substrate Matching Properties (SMP) matches the index of the coating with the index of the substrate for unsurpassed scratch resistance along with superior chemical and heat resistance
Superior Smudge Resistance
  • Repels dirt, fingerprints, and smudges so the lens stays cleaner longer

  • HOYA ViewProtect super-slippery hydrophobic topcoat

  • Greater than 110 degrees water drop contact angle (the steeper the contact angle, the easier water, dirt and oil wipes away)

Maximum Anti-Reflection
  • Less than 0.5% light reflectance

  • Optimum aesthetics

  • More comfortable computer use

  • Greater night-driving safety

  • The clearest vision night and day
