Anti-reflective Lenses
Anti-reflective glasses (also known as anti-glare glasses) prevent the reflection of light on both sides of the lenses. By preventing this, anti-glare lenses allow for more light to reach the eyes, thereby improving vision. The anti-reflective coating glasses improve visual acuity while reducing glare and making the eyes behind the anti-reflective lenses easier to see. This coating may be applied to prescription lenses as well as sunglasses.
