Understanding AR and Increasing Percentages

Course overview

This one-hour, technical home-study course explores the science, history, and practical application of anti-reflective (AR) ophthalmic lenses, with a strong emphasis on effective dispensing strategies. Participants will review how AR technology works, why it improves visual performance and patient comfort, and how modern AR systems differ from earlier generations. The course also examines common reasons patients decline AR lenses and provides optician-specific techniques to improve communication, address objections, and increase acceptance ethically. By combining technical knowledge with real-world dispensing skills, this program helps opticians enhance patient outcomes, reduce remakes, and elevate overall standards of professional practice.
