Do I need an anti-glare coating?

Home / Eye Health FAQs

Polarized lenses are, sunglass lenses that not only protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun (protecting against macular disease, cataracts, pinguelcua and sunburn), but also reduce the amount of glare reflecting off of shiny or wet surfaces. This offers the sharpest most unobstructed view of your world around you. A polarized filter is applied to the lenses which only allows light traveling in one direction to pass through.

Polarized sunglasses are ideal for water sports or hobbies such as boating, jet skiing, and fishing and also useful for snow sports like skiing and snowboarding. Sunglasses with ultra violet (UV) protection, should be worn year round when outdoors to protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun, but adding the extra polarized filter will give you the clearest vision possible.

Anti-glare, or no glare, coatings are fantastic for a number of reasons.

  • Mainly, anti-glare coatings greatly diminish glare and “the starburst” effect from headlights and streetlamps at night.
  • Aesthetically, anti-glare coatings reduce the flash effect that appears on many lenses in photographs so you can see the person behind the glasses, for a cleaner more vibrant photo.
  • Anti-glare lenses also greatly reduce eyestrain from back lit devices, such as computer screens, smart phones & tablets.

AcuSight’s lenses come with a bonus feature in their Recharge Anti-glare coating. This latest technology coating helps protect your eyes from the blue-light emitted by cellphones, computers, tablets, e-readers, and any other backlit device. Blue-light near the ultraviolet (or UV) end of the spectrum can lead to earlier cases of macular degeneration, cataracts, and disrupts our day-to-day sleep habits. This anti-glare coating is a crucial preventative feature that we recommend each patients use. Scratches? Forget about them, the Recharge anti-glare coating comes with built-in scratch resistance making your lenses tough and durable from daily wear and tear.
