    LOL, actually, I'm asking to question to see if there are other AR companies that make a blue AR coat other than Teflon.
    I'm trying to find more inexpensive, yet profitable alternatives.... LOL!

    Carat Advantage's AR can be made in 3 different color options? Does the color depend on the lab, or do you specify?

    Who makes "Trio?"

    Ask the independents, they can make it just about any colour you'd want.

    Essilor. It is their lower end AR. It is not a nice blue

    Zeiss is I believe the only major that makes a blue AR. Blue is a harder color to control than green which is why nearly all else is green based in color.

    iCoat AR's are all green. We do offer a gold but usage is nearly nil as with all other gold colors. Hope this helps!

    Does anyone have a favorite AR color? Personally I HATE blue AR. Our lab's coating is blue which is why I don't use it. I don't know if patients care or not, although I did have a guy just return his glasses because of the "pink" tint from the AR. They were Crizal, so not pink at all, but whatever.
