There are two kinds of coated glasses lenses: one is reflective filter lens: the surface of the lens is coated with gold, silver and zinc sulfide. The coating can reflect visible light, infrared ray and R ray, and protect eyes. The other is antireflection film: plated with magnesium fluoride, silicon dioxide, aluminum fluoride, etc. The specular reflection can be reduced and the transmittance of the lens can be improved. Beautiful appearance, conducive to photography. Advantages of coated glasses: (1) Clear vision, reduced specular reflection and increased light transmittance. (2) Coated glasses can prevent ultraviolet rays, infrared rays and X-rays from hurting eyes. After wearing coated glasses, the eyesight is not easy to get tired, which can protect the eyesight of the staff in front of the screen. (3) Coated glasses can reduce the reflected light on the lens surface, solve the problem of wearing glasses to take pictures under strong light, and increase the aesthetic feeling.
