Helpful Facts about Non-Glare Coating

So we all know that having a non-glare coating put on your lenses reduces the amount of visible glare... but how much glare is actually reduced? Are there other benefits to having the coating besides reducing glare? The answer is that while the amount of glare cut down by the coating is very helpful, there are actually a lot of other benefits to having a non-glare coating which aren't as obvious. Here are a few facts about the coating that should help you decide to make sure and add it to your next pair of glasses.

With a non-glare coating on your lenses:
- Up to 18% more light will get to your eyes, which allows you to see sharper detail and gives you an overall clearer line of sight.
- A non-glare coating will resist scratches, dust, dirt, fingerprints, and water runs right off the surface without leaving a mark.
- Eye-fatigue will be reduced significantly, as fluorescent light will be less bothersome and computer screens will be easier to view.
- Glare from headlights and taillights will be reduced to help with night driving.
- A non-glare coating will make your lenses seem virtually invisible. This not only allows for you to see clearly, but also allows people looking at you to see your eyes instead of their own reflection.
