Polarized sunglasses with non-glare finish on the inside -- your eyes will thank you.
This is exactly how my husband's sunglass lenses were made at Costco.....anti-reflective coating on the inside of the polarized lenses. As I wrote previously, he isn't the most careful person in the world when it comes to cleaning his glasses so I don't know how long the coating will last! It CAN be removed should it scratch or deteriorate. I agree that these are the best, most comfortable sunglass lenses anyone can wear.....the anti-reflective coating isn't a must if cost is an issue, but I would NOT be happy now without the polarization. Normally, we would not purchase such an important item at a discount box store but Costco's optical shop earned top honors in a recent Consumer Reports article. They did not disappoint us. By the way, at Costco, the anti-reflective coating is a standard on their polarized lenses..no extra charge.
