FAQs

Impact-resistant glasses are worth it for individuals at higher risk of encountering impact or potential damage. They provide safety, durability, and peace of mind. 

On the other hand, if your lifestyle is relatively low-risk and you do not engage in activities that threaten your glasses, you may not need impact-resistant glasses. In such cases, regular eyeglasses with standard coatings (e.g., anti-reflective, scratch-resistant) might suffice.

Consult with an eye care professional to determine if they suit your lifestyle and needs.

The longevity of an impact-resistant coating on eyeglasses can vary depending on the quality of the coating and how well you care for your glasses. To maximize the lifespan of the Impact X coating on your glasses, consult our aftercare guides.

Impact-resistant and scratch-resistant coatings are two different features of eyeglasses. At our Lens Hub, you can learn more about scratch-resistant coating and its benefits.  These two features, impact resistance, and scratch resistance, can be combined, creating a more durable and long-lasting eyewear solution.
