Coating options at a glance

How to choose between coating options

Ask which coating properties matter for your daily handling and cleaning routine before comparing Rock, Prevencia and Easy Pro. Request the exact coating name separately from the underlying lens design and material. For Natural Look, ask for the product specification rather than inferring features from the name.

Questions to ask your optician

  • Which Crizal coating is included with my chosen lens design?
  • Why would you select Rock, Prevencia or Easy Pro for my routine?
  • What specification can you provide for Crizal Natural Look?
  • What cleaning instructions, warranty exclusions and return terms should I review?

Fitting and adaptation basics

Have the underlying lenses fitted for pupil distance and fitting height in the chosen frame. Ask about the complete pair of glasses when discussing comfort. Adaptation varies by wearer. Request cleaning instructions and written coating warranty, return and remake terms, including how the practice handles a coating concern after delivery.
