[0002] In the field of optical coating, after a lens surface is coated with a plurality of layers of anti-reflective film (i.e. anti-reflection film), the lens is particularly prone to stains, which can destroy the anti-reflective effect of the anti-reflective film. Under a microscope, it can be found that the anti-reflective film layer has a porous structure, so that oil stains can easily infiltrate into the anti-reflective film layer. The solution is to coat a top film with oil and water resistance on the anti-reflective film layer, which is commonly known as a waterproof film layer. Moreover, this film layer must be very thin so as not to change the optical properties of the anti-reflective film.
[0003] In infrared coating, after the accompanying pieces and product lenses are coated with anti-reflection film, the lenses are removed and coated with a waterproof film layer using a special machine. Sometimes, the product lenses have marks or dust points coated in the waterproof film layer, which cannot be removed. In order to reduce costs and improve efficiency, it is necessary to remove the waterproof film layer and then re-coat the waterproof film layer. SUMMARY

[0007] The beneficial effects of the present disclosure are as follows.
