If you wear prescription glasses, you know they’re your key to seeing and interacting with the world around you. That’s why you want to make sure that you’re getting the clearest, most comfortable vision experience at all times. Anti-glare coatings for your prescription lenses or sunglasses are a great way to enhance the way you look and see!

What is Anti-Glare Coating?

Anti-glare coatings are an addition to your prescription glasses or sunglasses that help reduce or eliminate glare from objects around you. There are many advantages to this simple add-on. Below are just a few:

See and Be Seen With Anti-Glare Coatings

Anti-glare coating cuts down on reflections on both sides of the lens from sunlight, lights from sources in your immediate surroundings, and other objects around you. This makes it much easier for others to see your eyes behind your glasses, and connect with you personally.

Not having glare on the inside of your lenses also cuts down on headaches, eyestrain and other side effects while out in high-glare areas.

Anti-Glare Coatings Make Night Driving Safer

The glare of oncoming headlights from other cars, street lights and other light sources can sometimes blind you to oncoming hazards in the road while driving at night.

Anti-glare coatings lessen or eliminate these dangers, making driving safer and more comfortable.

Anti-Glare Coating Reduces Digital Eye Strain

If you spend long periods of time each day looking at digital screens, you may experience headaches, dry eyes and other unpleasant symptoms as part of a condition known as computer vision, or digital eye strain.

Anti-glare coatings help reduce glare from these devices, lessening the impact of light from these devices on the eyes.

Q&A

Are anti-glare coatings good for sports?

Yes. Especially while participating in outdoor sports and activities, glare can significantly hinder performance. That can translate into missed field goals and bad swings. Anti-glare coating reduces excessive light, provides you with visual clarity and increases your sports performance overall.

Does anti-glare coating wear off?

Yes. The average length of time before anti-glare coating begins to wear off is about two years. Over the course of this time, your lenses are likely to encounter bumps and scratches that slowly wear away the coating. After this two-year mark, it is recommended to replace your glasses.
