3 Benefits of Anti-Glare Coating

Glare refers to excessive brightness caused by direct or reflected light. It can cause eye strain, digital eye strain, halos, and headaches — and can 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, reducing the amount of glare that reflects off your lenses.

AR Coating Offers 3 Major Advantages

1. Better Appearance

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

2. Reduced Digital Eye Strain

That tired, irritated feeling you get after staring at a digital screen for several hours? That's digital eye strain. Anti-glare coating helps reduce digital eye strain by lowering exposure to excessive glare from digital devices and artificial lighting. If you spend significant time in front of screens, AR coating can make a noticeable difference in your comfort.

3. Safe Driving at Night

The bright headlights from oncoming cars can pose a serious danger when driving at night. These sudden glares can momentarily steal your focus from the road ahead. AR coating on your prescription eyewear effectively reduces reflections from headlights at night, allowing you to enjoy a better view of the road and safer driving experiences.
