AR Coatings, what would you want more of in the future?

[Optician1960]

As new AR coatings come to market and customer purchases continue to increase, what sets some apart from others for you as the dispenser and for the end patient? Is it performance on clarity, clean ability, scratch coating, index matching, color of residual reflection, price, anti static properties...?

Thanks

Durability is most important.

I would agree on durability. So index matching and scratch resistance would be my two most important features.

Index matching, 100%. Any ways to increase durability. People will need to replace glasses as per Rx change anyway, so don't chince coatings that will not even last through that time period. (Through normal use, wear and tear, etc).

The new coatings sporting 'blue light' protection are a nice addition. The fact that they are tied into manufacturers 'high' end coatings is a little silly. It would be nice to offer this as a standard and not a premium.

Also, consistency in colour. I can't stand getting a pair of lenses from a lab with one lens's AR green and the other purple.
