A method for manufacturing spectacle lenses according to a prescription, comprising the steps of: - blocking (504; 604) a semi-finished spectacle lens blank (SFB) having a first face (cx) possessing a final curvature, said first face (cx) being coated with a permanent top coating (TC) prior to said blocking (504; 604) step, providing the outer surface of the finished spectacle lens being finished and ready for use for a spectacles wearer and having a surface energy of less than 20 mJ/m 2 , and a second face (cc) opposite said first face (cx) on a block piece, wherein said first face (cx) of said semi-finished spectacle lens blank (SFB) faces said block piece, - surfacing (506, 508, 520; 606, 608) said blocked semi-finished spectacle lens blank (SFB) on said second face (cc) to obtain a final curvature of said second face (cc), - deblocking said surfaced spectacle lens blank from said block piece prior to subsequent coating step of said second face (cc), wherein said deblocking step is followed by at least one of the following steps: - applying a hard coating (HC) onto said surfaced second face (cc), - applying an anti-reflection coating (AR) onto said surfaced second face (cc), - applying a mirror coating onto said surfaced second face (cc), - applying a photochromic coating (PC) onto said surfaced second face (cc), - applying a polarizing coating (POLC) onto said surfaced second face (cc), - applying a top coating (TC) having surface properties of at least one of the group of - a surface energy of less than 20 mJ/m 2 and a contact angle of a water droplet of more than 90° - a surface energy of less than 18 mJ/m 2 and a contact angle of a water droplet of more than 100° - a surface energy of less than 16 mJ/m 2 and a contact angle of a water droplet of more than 110° - a surface energy of less than 14 mJ/m 2 and a contact angle of a water droplet of more than 116° - a surface energy of less than 12 mJ/m 2 and a contact angle of a water droplet of more than 120°. onto said surfaced second face (cc). - blocking (504; 604) a semi-finished spectacle lens blank (SFB) having a first face (cx) possessing a final curvature, said first face (cx) being coated with a permanent top coating (TC) prior to said blocking (504; 604) step, providing the outer surface of the finished spectacle lens being finished and ready for use for a spectacles wearer and having a surface energy of less than 20 mJ/m 2 , and a second face (cc) opposite said first face (cx) on a block piece, wherein said first face (cx) of said semi-finished spectacle lens blank (SFB) faces said block piece, - surfacing (506, 508, 520; 606, 608) said blocked semi-finished spectacle lens blank (SFB) on said second face (cc) to obtain a final curvature of said second face (cc), - deblocking said surfaced spectacle lens blank from said block piece prior to subsequent coating step of said second face (cc), - applying a hard coating (HC) onto said surfaced second face (cc), - applying an anti-reflection coating (AR) onto said surfaced second face (cc), - applying a mirror coating onto said surfaced second face (cc), - applying a photochromic coating (PC) onto said surfaced second face (cc), - applying a polarizing coating (POLC) onto said surfaced second face (cc), - applying a top coating (TC) having surface properties of at least one of the group of - a surface energy of less than 20 mJ/m 2 and a contact angle of a water droplet of more than 90° - a surface energy of less than 18 mJ/m 2 and a contact angle of a water droplet of more than 100° - a surface energy of less than 16 mJ/m 2 and a contact angle of a water droplet of more than 110° - a surface energy of less than 14 mJ/m 2 and a contact angle of a water droplet of more than 116° - a surface energy of less than 12 mJ/m 2 and a contact angle of a water droplet of more than 120°. <EOS>
