FAQ
Common Customer Questions
What coating options can Vena Optics provide?
Vena Optics can support HC, HMC, SHMC, anti-reflective, super hydrophobic, blue, green, EMI and UV coating options depending on lens type and order requirements.
What is the difference between HMC and SHMC?
HMC focuses on hard multi-coating and anti-reflective performance. SHMC adds stronger hydrophobic and easier-clean properties for upgraded lens ranges.
Can coating color be customized?
Coating reflection color, such as blue or green, can be discussed based on product positioning, lens type and coating availability.
Do high index lenses need anti-reflective coating?
Anti-reflective coating is commonly recommended for high index lenses because higher index materials can show more surface reflection without coating.
Can you support coating durability testing?
Vena Optics can support coating appearance checks, adhesion review, water resistance checks and sample confirmation before bulk orders.
Can coating be matched with blue cut or photochromic lenses?
Yes. Coating options can be planned with blue cut, photochromic, high index, progressive and single vision lens ranges.
