Should I get anti- glare on my glasses.. please help?

Question

Hi i got my glasses couple days ago, from "Vision Works" I didn't get the anti glare on my lenses,..my friend told me their not that much of a diff.unless im driving at nite, which im not driving yet. when i pick up my glasses it was night tiime..I saw glare with the car lights, but not as bad,but the next day when i woke up and put my glasses on the windows when the shades are open i saw in some spots foggy , my mother said maybe cause I didn't get the anti glare on my glasses, so i call the man to see if they can put it on my lenses he said sure but they going to have to redo the whole lenese buit that wont cost me cause I have 14 days on them, but I will have to pay for the anti-glare which will be 79.99 plus tax

i read up on anti glare..some say that anti-glare is hard to clean and less then a yr it comes off and makes the glasses look crappy..

how can I prevent that from happening? right now I just use a microfiber cloth to clean my glasses..do i keep using that or something else?

Should i get the anti glare on my glasses, or leave them like they are or get something else beside the anti glare?

on vision work stie they have a guess diff, lenses

right now i only have the Polycarbonate Lenses and im Single vision

they have somethig call Polarized Lenses..or NuPolar
or Eagle Vision 4.0 (EV 4.0) ..they didn't talk about anything beside the anti-glare.. so maybe I should look into something like those?

can u please help me, I do have to wear my glasses all the time or as much as i can

thank you

I work for another store in that company. Yes, you should get the anti reflective coating.



It helps with night driving yes, but it also helps with computer work, being under florescent lighting, watching TV or movies, and whiteboards at school. What it does, is by removing the glares that bounce off your lenses, you are virtually eliminating eyestrain, and it allows more light into your eye so you see more clearly. Besides that, they make your lenses look more invisible, so people see your eyes, not the glares and reflections of lights or windows around you.



The Clearshield brand that they use is chemically bonded to the lens. Unless you are using something like dish soap, hand soap, windex, etc to clean your lenses, it will not peel off. Using the microfiber cloth is the best thing, other than a little running water, or alcohol once in a while. Also, it's a hydrophobic coating; wiping straight off helps because going in circles only moves the dirt around on the surface.



Since you have time left on your 30 day satisfaction guarantee, go back and ask for a refund/re-ring. That will allow you to get the discounted price on the anti reflective, unless you paid with insurance, then you will have to pay the $99 for the upgrade.



EV 4.0 lenses, aka, High Definition or Trivex lenses are the best material we carry, but if you are OK with a poly, you can stick with that. NuPolar Polarized lenses are the brand of Polarized lenses, and are sunglass lenses only.



As for wearing them all the time, get the doctor's advice on that. Hard to say yes or no because I don't know what your prescription is like.

Anti glare is important to have on your glasses for computer use IF you already wear glasses and need them to see the screen. It makes a huge difference , but only if you need glasses. Getting non prescription glasses just for the anti glare makes no sense though. Anti Reflection coatings only cut glare on the lenses, which is the only place glare happens, so it stands to reason, if you don't have lenses on , then there is no glare. Glare doesn't come from the screen...it only happens on the lenses. That is what your Dr. meant...it is a misconception to think anti reflection glasses will help when you don't normally wear glasses. Frequent breaks to look around the room, away from the monitor , and keeping the monitor at least 28 inches away are keys to reducing eye strain

Answer 4

No Glare Glasses

Answer 5

I always have anti-glare on my glasses. I find it prevents reflections in my glasses when working on screens, doesn't reflect back at people looking at me , It reduces glare generally. As you say you don't drive at night, but you aer probably in teh car at night and the amount of glare can make your eyes tired. The really big difference for me is using computer screens.



It is true that anti-glare coatings are harder to clean. You have to be very careful to use a micofibre cloth and they need special spray. In time the coatings do come off and then the glasses are ruined but not in one year if you buy a decent coating. i've had my current ones 3 and never had a coating break down in under 5. Ask the optician what sort of guarantees you can get. If you have to wear your glasses all teh time I'd recommend it. I started wearing glasses before you could get them and so I do have experience of the differences.

Answer 6

there are many brands of anti-glare lens coatings available, and the brand is the most important factor in the quality of the coating. This is one area in which you get what you pay for. IMO the best A/R coating out there right now is Crizal Avance with scotchguard. It is easy to clean, and durable.
