Who is it for?

Is Hercue Coating right for you?

A scratch-resistant surface coating that shields lenses from the everyday abrasion of handling, cleaning and cases.

Wearers who want extra protection for daily use. Scratch resistance does not make lenses scratch-proof.

How is it fitted?

Ask the optical team to confirm coating compatibility, price and care instructions for your selected lenses.

What does it cost?

Ask your counter for the price of your chosen prescription, material and coating before ordering. Frame and lens costs are quoted separately.

Clariviz Hercue Coating
How it works

What the coating does.

Hercue works as a protective barrier, taking the impact and friction that would otherwise reach the lens material underneath.

It uses a formulation of specialised polymers, nanoparticles and ceramic materials chosen for hardness, bonded to the lens to form a durable layer against mechanical stress.

Why wearers choose it

What you notice day to day.

Protection

Reduces how easily the surface picks up scratches and scuffs in normal handling.

Lasting clarity

Lenses hold their appearance and optical clarity over longer periods of wear.

Longer service life

Fewer marks accumulating means the pair stays usable for longer.

Helpful answers

Your questions, answered

What is Clariviz and who is it for?

Clariviz is a lens brand from Eyegear Optics India Private Limited, the company behind Ben Franklin. Its portfolio includes progressive designs, occupational lenses, photochromic options and coatings. A Ben Franklin optician can help compare the options against your prescription and daily activities.

What is the difference between DigiPro 2.0 and ULTIPRO Bluecut?

DigiPro 2.0 is a progressive lens design with near, intermediate and distance viewing zones. ULTIPRO Bluecut is a surface coating with antireflective and blue-light-filtering properties. They serve different purposes; ask the optical team which combinations are available.

What does minimum fitting height mean?

Minimum fitting height (MFH) is the shortest vertical lens depth a progressive design needs to fit all of its viewing zones. A frame shallower than the MFH cannot take that lens, which is why your optician measures the frame before confirming the design.

How much do Clariviz lenses cost?

The price depends on the lens design, prescription, material and coating. Bring your prescription to a Ben Franklin counter for a quotation that separates the frame and lens costs before you order.
