Glare is defined as the overwhelming brightness produced by direct or reflected light, which can lead to eye discomfort, digital eye strain—especially during computer use—visual halos, and headaches. Additionally, glare can impair visibility, creating hazards while driving.

Anti-glare coating, also referred to as anti-reflective (AR) coating, is a fine layer applied to eyeglass lenses that enhances light transmission. By minimizing the glare that bounces off the lenses, this coating improves clarity and provides a more comfortable visual experience. You can request this coating when purchasing new eyeglasses.

Key Benefits of AR Coating

Enhanced Appearance

Without anti-glare coating, your glasses may reflect camera flashes and bright lights, which can detract from your appearance during conversations or meetings, create distracting reflections in photographs, and complicate video calls. Anti-reflective coating mitigates these reflections, allowing others to see your eyes and face more clearly.

Decreased Digital Eye Strain

The fatigue and irritation you feel after prolonged exposure to digital screens is known as digital eye strain. Anti-glare coating helps alleviate this condition by reducing glare from screens and surrounding lighting.

Improved Nighttime Driving Safety

Bright headlights from oncoming vehicles can be particularly hazardous when driving at night, as they can momentarily distract you from the road. AR coating on your prescription glasses effectively diminishes reflections from headlights, enhancing your visibility and promoting safer driving conditions after dark.
