Today a customer came in and commented that she was in a competitor's shop yesterday. She said that an employee of the shop told her that "3 out of 4 of our opticians no longer recommend anti-reflective coatings because of care issues". She went on to say that "because anti-reflective coatings were originally sold to help eliminate glare from computer screens and because current computer screens no longer have glare, there really is no reason for anti-reflective coatings and that there is a real trend with eyewear providers to NOT recommend it".
And I thought....HUH?
But, I wanted to be open minded...after all I work here in my little shop by myself (though I frequent optiboard...and read trade journals). Anyway, I wanted to see what everyone else had to say.
And I want to add, that I understand that not ALL people are cut out for AR coatings...the real purpose of this thread is to ask if anyone is sensing this "trend" away from AR coatings.
Thanks
