Why our AR holds up
Coated in-house
We run our own coating equipment in West Valley City. No send-out, no third-party variability.
Under 4-day turnaround
Most AR jobs leave the lab in under 4 business days — sometimes the same week you order.
Real warranties
1 year on Core. 2 years on Crystal and Blue Defense. If it fails, we redo it — under our standard redo policy.
Premium cosmetics
Crystal residual reflection is engineered to be virtually invisible to the patient.
Blue light, done right
Blue Defense is the right call when a patient asks about screens — but for most patients, Crystal is the better default.
Optician training included
We'll come to your office (or you to ours) and train your team on selling AR upgrades the right way.
A note on blue AR.
The blue residual reflection on blue-filter coatings is visible — patients notice it. Most ECPs default to clear AR unless the patient brings up screens or blue light first. If they don't ask, go Crystal or one of the VSP Techshield options.
