Anti reflective glasses

Anti reflective glasses




Anti-reflective glasses (often called AR glasses or anti-glare glasses) are spectacles whose lenses have a special anti-reflective coating applied to reduce light reflections from the lens surface.


How They Work

  • Normal lenses reflect some light (about 8–12%), which can cause glare, halos, or washed-out vision, especially in bright light or at night.

  • An AR coating is made of thin layers of metal oxides that cancel out reflections by optical interference.

  • This allows more light to pass through the lens to your eyes — improving clarity and reducing strain.


Benefits

Clearer Vision

  • Less glare from sunlight, streetlights, or computer screens.


Better Night Driving

  • Reduced headlight halos and starbursts.


Eye Comfort

  • Less squinting and eye fatigue during screen work.


Better Appearance

  • Lenses look “invisible” so people see your eyes clearly in photos or meetings.


Common Uses

  • Prescription glasses (single vision, bifocal, progressive)


Computer glasses


  • Sunglasses (AR coating on the back of tinted lenses)


  • Blue-light filter glasses (often combined with AR)



Care Tips

  • Always clean with microfiber cloth and lens cleaning solution.

  • Avoid paper towels or clothing — they scratch the coating.

  • Store glasses in a hard case when not in use.

  • Avoid hot water or harsh detergents, which can damage the AR layer.


💡 Extra Tip: AR coating works best on high-index lenses (thinner lenses for stronger prescriptions) because they naturally reflect more light.

MYOPIA

What is Myopia? Myopia (commonly called nearsightedness) is a vision condition where a person can see nearby objects clearly but distant objects appear blurry. What Causes Myopia? It usually occurs when: The eyeball is too long from front to back. The cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) is too curved. As a result, light rays focus in front of the retina, instead of directly on it. Symptoms of Myopia: Blurred vision when looking at distant objects. Squinting to see clearly. Eye strain or headaches (especially after focusing on distant objects). Difficulty seeing while driving, especially at night (night myopia). Risk Factors: Genetics : If one or both parents are myopic, the risk increases. Excessive near work : Prolonged reading, computer, or phone use. Lack of outdoor time: Spending less time in natural light, especially in childhood. Treatment and Management Corrective Lenses: Eyeglasses or contact lenses with minus (–) power lenses. Refractive Surgery: LASIK, PRK, SMILE – re...

Important of colour check

  Why is it important to check colour vision? Checking colour vision is important for several reasons: 1. Early Detection of Vision Disorders It helps detect congenital colour blindness, especially in children. Can also reveal acquired conditions due to eye diseases (e.g., glaucoma, optic neuritis). 2. Career Requirement Certain professions require normal colour vision, such as: Pilots Electricians Military personnel Police officers Graphic designers Drivers Railway and maritime workers 3. Safety and Daily Functioning Correct colour recognition is vital for identifying traffic lights, warning signs, and colour-coded materials. Difficulty distinguishing colours can impact school performance, cooking, clothing choices, and reading charts or graphs. 4. Monitoring Disease Progression Colour vision testing helps track changes in patients with: Diabetic retinopathy Multiple sclerosis Macular degeneration Medication side effects (e.g., ethambutol) 5. Educational Guidance In children, dete...
