On the other hand, thelensesare easily scratched and may require replacement.
This allows more non-reflected light to pass through, leading to fewer visual disturbances.
Unlike reflective lenses with mirror-like finishes, anti-reflective coatings are transparent with a very faint green or blue tint.

Is Anti-Reflective Coating Worth It?
Anti-glare glasses can also make driving safe, particularly for those who drive at night or do long-distance driving.
But that’s not the case anymore.
This reduces reflected light and allows more non-reflected light to be transmitted through the lens.
The American Optometric Association lists eyeglass lens coatings as one of the more useful solutions for computer vision syndrome.
AR coatings are available for sunglasses too.
Are Yellow-Tint Lenses Good for Glare?
Anti-reflective coating, on the other hand, does reduce glare and can improve nighttime driving performance.
Even so, a higher-end coating can be well worth your money.
According to Vision Center, AR coating can add $20 to $150 to the cost of lenses.
Insurance may cover some or all of that cost.
Despite their benefits, anti-glare glasses tend to scratch easily and would then need to be replaced.
