Have you ever taken a really close look at the iPhone or those high-tech screen protectors? I have. No matter how much I handle my phone, the screen display really doesn’t get dirtied with fingerprints. I figured maybe the reason was because the iPhone is made of glass, but that’s not it at all. It’s because of fancy “Fingerprint Resistant Anti-Reflective Coating,” also called oleophobic coating. The coating repels oil, dust, fingerprints, and water. Pretty cool!
Well, Zenni Optical is joining the ranks of the high tech, and is now coating their eyeglasses lenses with the oleophobic coating. Pretty neat!!! I don’t know about you, but my eyeglasses get filthy, especially during the summer when it’s hot and humid. I am out in the garden under the hot sun, or ripping apart walls in the house and my glasses always seem spotted or speckled with fingerprints and dirt. I think having a coating that protects the lenses from dust and dirt is amazing. Zenni is offering the oleophobic coating on glasses with free shipping on orders over $50.
The oleophobic coating also helps reduce glare and reflections. My eyes are sensitive to such things, so the next pair of glasses I get from Zenni will have the new high-tech coating. It’s just another great reason to shop eyeglasses at Zennis- we all know that such a coating would cost $100 or more at the retail eyeglasses store.
I’ve had my Zenni Optical glasses for several months now. They are really terrific. I am looking forward to my next eye exam (can you believe it?! me looking forward to the exam?!) so I can get anew prescription and a new pair of fancy glasses. I’m very, very pleased with Zenni. Check them out if you need glasses.
