Cool New Coatings on Eyeglasses

Eyeglasses styles come and go. Besides styles, there really hasn't been any exciting breaks in eyeglasses technology in years. That is until recently. Today, you can get something that is known as an oleophobic coating on your eyeglasses. Never heard of oleophobic coatings? That's OK, neither had I until I was fishing with my brother. It turns out that he had a new pair of eyeglasses with this kind of special coating. He told me about it when he noticed how bad I was squinting from the glare from the water. I also found myself having to clean the lenses often from getting water and smudges on them. That was when he told me that I should go over to a website with a cool name of ZenniOptical.com. That is where he bought is eyeglasses with an oleophobic coating. This cool coating is anti-reflective. That means he was able to see the fish better than me with my regular eyeglasses. Oleophobic coatings also help to keep your eyeglasses clean too. They are able to repel oil, water, dust and even finger prints. That is pretty handy when you are fishing. There is water splashing and it is easy to get smudges on your glasses. So now, I have ordered myself a pair of these eyeglasses too. I highly recommend them too.
