You may feel very dazzled when wearing glasses outdoors when the sun is overhead. It's not dangerous, but because of this glare, you can't move comfortably. Well, you can try some eyeglass lenses that are specially made to be anti-glare and protect your eyes from the sun.
A variety of anti-glare glasses
1. Lens high-definition
This lens is specially designed digitally so you can see clearly and precisely. The accuracy of minus or plus changes can reach 0.01 diopters. This differs greatly from other conventional lens shaping tools whose accuracy is only in the range 0.125 - 0.25 diopters.
In addition, the lens shaping process is also adjusted to the type of eyeglass handle you have. These are the things that make glasses that use anti-glare lenses to help users see sharper and more clearly.
2. Adaptive lens
Not only anti-glare, the glasses equipped with this lens will change color according to the surrounding light conditions. For example, when indoors, the lens will appear clear, but will turn gray or brown when exposed to sunlight. More precisely, the lens can change color when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, so even in cloudy conditions the lens will still experience discoloration.
This discoloration helps to reduce the sense of glare caused by the bright rays of the sun. The advantage is that the lens can protect the eye from UV rays and can be used in various types of refractive errors, minus eyes, plus eyes, and astigmatism.
3. Polarized lenses
These lenses can complement anti-glare glasses because they have a chemical coating that keeps them from reflecting light. If the catch of light reflection, aka glare, is reduced, it will be easier for you to capture colors. There are 2 types of lens thickness to choose from, namely:
- 0.75 millimeter - suitable for those of you who often do light outdoor activities.
- 1.1 millimeter - more suitable for those of you who often do extreme activities outdoors. Increasing the thickness of the lens does not further reduce glare.
This type of lens is more often found in sunglasses or commonly known as sunglasses . Here are some ways to find out if your sunglasses have a polarized, non-glare coating:
- There is a difference in color sharpness when you are wearing and not wearing glasses.
- Generally, the lens will appear darker than other lenses.
- There is a reduction in glare from the reflection of cars or asphalt when driving during the day.
4. Anti-reflective coating
So, if you want to modify existing glasses to be anti-glare, you can use this coating. This coating can be used on all types of lenses.
The use of an anti-reflective coating will help reduce glare while reducing light reflection on the surface of the eyeglass lens. Some brands of anti-reflective coatings are even equipped with the ability to reduce scratches and oil stains on the lenses.
