What is Anti-Glare Coating?

You Look and See Better Without Glare On Your Glasses
Without anti-glare coating, sunlight, lights from sources in your immediate surroundings, and other people and objects are often reflected in the lenses of your glasses. This often causes others to be unable to see your eyes through your glasses, detracting from your overall look, and making it more difficult to see your eyes.
Anti-glare coating reduces these reflections, making it much easier for others to see through your glasses to your eyes, and connect with you personally.
