Anti-glare glasses, also known as anti-reflective glasses, are eyeglasses with a special coating that helps to reduce reflections and glare on the surface of the lenses. The primary purpose of anti-glare glasses is to improve vision in conditions with bright or reflective light, such as driving at night or using a computer screen. By reducing reflections and glare, anti-glare glasses can make it easier to see clearly and reduce eye strain and fatigue. They can also help reduce glare from overhead lights, sunlight, and other bright light sources. Anti-glare glasses work by reducing surface reflections, allowing more light to pass through the lenses, and neutralizing the wavelengths of the glare. The benefits of anti-glare glasses include:

• Reducing reflections, glare, and halos
• Improving visual clarity and contrast sensitivity
• Reducing eye strain and fatigue
• Improving the appearance of eyeglasses by reducing reflections that can make lenses appear thick or cloudy
• Helping reduce blue light exposure and the symptoms of digital eye strain
• Allowing more light to pass through the lens, improving visual clarity

Anti-glare glasses are not mandatory, but they can vastly improve the performance, experience, and aesthetics of your glasses. They are definitely worth the extra cost, especially if you spend a lot of time looking at screens or digital devices, have difficulty seeing while driving at night, or are often bothered by reflections when wearing glasses.
