Choose a coating for the way lenses are worn, cleaned and used every day. Compare the RIO range, understand the surface benefits, and discuss the right combination with Hubble Vision.
Read the purpose of each finish, then compare the options with your lens design and daily routine.
Premium Comfort
Smart Coating
RIO describes Smart as a German-technology coating system combining anti-reflection, anti-smudge, blue-light filtering, UV protection and scratch resistance.
What to consider
A broad surface-feature package to discuss for everyday lenses.
Ask Hubble: Which protective features are included in my chosen lens and material?
A surface-hardening option focused on scratch resistance and everyday durability. RIO describes proprietary hard-coat technology and durability testing.
What to consider
Start here when surface wear is the main concern. Scratch-resistant lenses still need careful cleaning.
Ask Hubble: Is Rock supplied as a hard coat alone, or with an anti-reflection finish?
RIO specifies a nine-layer anti-reflection structure, scratch resistance and a super-hydrophobic surface for easier cleaning. The brand reports twice the durability of standard hydrophobic coatings and up to 75% less reflected colour with its light-control technology.
What to consider
A finish to discuss when both reflections and cleaning matter.
Ask Hubble: Which materials and lens designs can be ordered with Glatt?
An anti-reflection finish manages reflections at the lens surface. Discuss appearance and the situations in which reflections are noticeable.
02
Cleaning
Water-repellent and smudge-resistant surfaces describe different properties. Ask which are included, and use the recommended lens cleaner and cloth.
03
Surface wear
Scratch resistance is not scratch-proofing. Rinse off particles before wiping and keep spectacles in a case when not in use.
04
The right combination
A coating does not replace the prescription or lens design. Confirm the design, material, treatment and coating together before ordering.
Care for the finish.
Rinse first, use a lens-safe cleaner and a clean microfibre cloth, and avoid dry rubbing or high heat. Follow the care advice supplied with your lenses.
No. Lens design describes the optical arrangement. A surface coating changes surface properties. The compatible coating options depend on the product and material.
Are photochromic and polarized lenses the same?
No. Photochromic behaviour concerns changing light conditions; polarization concerns filtering light to address reflected glare. Confirm the treatment and design combination with Hubble.
Can every coating be ordered with every lens?
Availability depends on the design, material and treatment combination. Ask Hubble to confirm the specific combination before placing an order.
