Reflections on your lenses can be more than just a mild annoyance. Glare and reflections have a way of creeping into daily activities, making it difficult to focus, read, or see clearly. From outdoor adventures to long hours in front of a computer, the distractions caused by excess light or reflections can put a strain on your vision.
If you have been looking to purchase a pair of glasses, you are now well aware of the many different options and coatings available. But we most often hear...what is the difference between anti-reflective lenses and anti-glare lenses?
Anti-glare is focused on the harsh brightness from intense light sources. Have you ever driven at night and felt your eyes strain against oncoming headlights? Anti-glare coatings help filter out the excessive light, softening the distracting halos or glare from bright lights allowing you to maintain focus while driving.
Anti-reflective coatings are specifically designed to eliminate reflections from the front and back surface of your lenses. You know that moment when someone’s looking at you and all they see is the reflection of the overhead lights in your glasses? So instead of acting like a mirror, anti-reflective coatings make your lenses appear clearer, allowing more light to pass through for sharper, more defined vision.
Anti-reflective is a perfect option if you spend a lot of time looking at screens, this coating can minimize the glare coming off your device and reduce eye fatigue. They also make for better photos and videos, since these coatings reduce reflections allowing your eyes to appear more visible and natural.
You can choose the anti-reflective coating on our CliC Rx site, or upgrade to any of the Crizal coatings which combines both the anti-reflective and anti-glare coating along with smudge and scratch resistance, water and dust repellent and UV protection.
