Anything added to the light path will degrade the image. Its just a matter of what is visible and acceptable.

A barlow adds extra elements and air/glass surfaces to scatter light. To minimise this effect make sure you get a quality one.
The words "fully multicoated" carry both a price and a performance premium in this regard.
