Mandatory mask-wearing may keep us and the people around us safe from Covid-19 infection, but introduces a daily inconvenience that Singaporeans never had to deal with previously: their spectacle lenses fogging up with each breath expelled.

Spectacle wearers now find themselves having to wipe their glasses off on a cleaning cloth or the hem of their shirt constantly. And when one is in the middle of carrying out construction work, delivering an important presentation or performing a surgical operation, what used to be a simple act of cleaning becomes exponentially annoying – not to mention, highly distracting.

Investing in quality and reliability

If these scenarios sound familiar to you, consider Apollo Lens by Apollo Optical. Founded in 1970 in Hong Kong, the company established itself in Singapore two years ago, and now calls it home to its second-largest base of operations in the region.

Apollo Lens retails special ion-plated lenses from legendary German lens manufacturer Schneider, known for high-performance, ultra-sharp lenses for industrial equipment and photographic imaging.

The company’s latest innovation is lenses featuring a special alloy layer permanently applied through ion beam deposition.

Featuring anti-reflective capabilities, the alloy layer repels water droplets, spreading them into a thin liquid film across the lens’ surface that remains transparent to the human eye.

And since the lenses can be coated on both surfaces, they are also resistant to moisture from external sources.

Maintenance is low-key. All Apollo Lens – Anti-Fog lenses come with a specially-developed anti-fog cloth that replenishes and strengthens the alloy coating with each wipe, extending its shelf life.
