Anti reflective coating reduces glare and other reflections.
When you walk out of an eye exam ready to pick out new glasses, frames may be top of mind, but it’s the lenses that are actually going to help you see better.
That means you’ll want to pay close attention when the optician reviews the special lens coatings and treatments that can enhance your view or improve the look of your glasses.

In addition to shielding your eyes from harsh reflections, anti-reflective coating can also make your glasses have a better appearance to others as well.

Yes. In fact, it’s a good idea. The addition of an anti-reflective coating to both the front and back of the lens will give your eyes the best protection from strong UV rays that come in directly, as well as those that bounce off surfaces like windows and sidewalks.
This can allow you to see more clearly with your sunglasses[CB3] on a bright, sunny day — even with a lighter tinted lens.
You’ll want to use special cleansers to preserve the coating and guard against scratches. and should never be cleaned with a dry cloth without wetting the lens first.
This can cause scratches which will be more noticeable with an AR coated eyeglass lens.
