As previous studies indicated, diamond-like carbon (DLC) layers exhibit outstanding biocompatible properties. Additionally, due to high hardness and high transmittance in infrared and visible parts of spectra it is possible to utilize for application ophthalmic optics. DLC layers are suitable for coating of spectacle lenses, contact lenses and even intraocular lenses. In this paper, we focused on transmittance and wear resistance of different commercially available spectacle lenses with surface modification and lenses with DLC layer. The lens transmittance depends on base material and its surface modification. Commercially manufactured lenses exhibit usual transmittance of 90±5%, while transmittance of DLC coated lenses was lower by 15%. Wear resistance is strongly dependent on surface modification. The results of DLC layers were similar or better than commercially manufactured lenses with surface modification.
