Glare refers to excessive brightness caused by direct or reflected light. It can cause eye strain, digital eye strain, halos, and headaches. Glare can also reduce visibility, making it unsafe to drive.

Anti-glare coating, also known as anti-reflective (AR) coating, is a thin layer applied to the surface of your eyeglass lenses that allows more light to pass through by reducing the amount of glare that reflects off the lenses. You can request anti-glare coating when purchasing eyeglasses.

AR Coating Offers 3 Major Advantages

Better Appearance

Without an anti-glare coating, camera flashes and bright lights can reflect off your lenses. This can make it difficult to find the right angle for video calls and cause flash reflections in photos. Anti-reflective coating eliminates harsh reflections, allowing others to see your eyes and face clearly.

Reduced Digital Eye Strain

That tired, irritated feeling after staring at a digital screen for several hours is digital eye strain. Anti-glare coating helps reduce digital eye strain by lowering your exposure to excessive glare from digital devices and lighting.

Safe Driving at Night

Bright headlights from oncoming cars can pose a serious danger when driving at night. AR coating on your prescription eyewear effectively reduces reflections from headlights, allowing you to enjoy a better view of the road and safer nighttime driving.
