09.01.2022 BLINDED BY GLARE? A high quality anti-reflective coating reduces glare, light streaking and distortion from oncoming headlights at night. How? By minimising internal reflections within your lenses and increasing the transmittance of light through the lenses to your eyes. Ask us for a recommendation on quality lenses with an anti reflective coating to reduce glare at night. #optometrist #nightdriving #designerframes #antiglarecoating
