Certain examples embodiments relate to hydrophobic anti-reflection coatings, and/or methods of making the same. A major surface of an anti-reflection coating may be treated with a silane-based solution so as to increase the contact angle of the coating's surface. The silane-based solution may include silane(s) having alkyl and/or fluoroalkyl functional groups. The treatment of the major surface of the AR coating may include chemically grafting the surface of the coating such that the silanes and functional groups bond to an outermost portion of the coating. The presence of the silanes and/or the functional groups may lower the surface energy of the coating. The lowered surface energy and/or intrinsic roughness of the AR coating may cause the contact angle of the coating to rise to hydrophobic and/or super hydrophobic levels, such that the hydrophobic AR coating possesses anti-fogging and/or anti-fouling properties.
