@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you for replying! I'm taking a Master's course in photonics this semester that touches on ophthalmology, and your videos about topics such as this, contact lenses, and LASIK have been really helpful supplementary videos in my studies!
I'm surprised you did not mention ghost lights. My first glasses did not have an AR coating, and at night, bright lights would be reflected back into my eyes from various angles so that I would see many more lights than there actually were. This made night driving very difficult and confusing-especially in unfamiliar areas. AR coated glasses eliminated this completely. For me, this was a safety issue. Cheers, Russ

Just came from the eye doctor. We were so confused with their explanations. You made it all so much more clear!! Thank you so much!
You are brilliant - pure delight listening to you. You make everything so clear, (like with AR coating....). I get a feeling of comprehensive understanding of the subject. Thanks for making these videos for us.
Another really important advantage of an anti-reflective coating is if you have a high prescription. It eliminates the 'coke bottle' effect (where there appears to be concentric rings in the lenses).
I got glasses without it one time. Never again I would see reflection of my eyes in the glasses. So much better with the AR.

What do you mean you would see your reflections of your eyes
Loved the video…I feel we’re taken advantage of a lot when buying lenses and especially lens coating “options” when buying glasses from your typical Omnivision etc. businesses. Man they hit me with over 300.00 purely for lens “options” and I’m really relying on your videos to get to the bottom of this….my prescription is very slight and it’s time we educate ourselves on eye lens function,features, prices, and brands also the difference between necessity and pushy sales tactics..we need to know especially because your vision is not only the most important of your 5 senses but the windows to the soul.
I eventually got prescription eyeglasses. I’m learning a lot about eyeglasses. Thanks D.E.H.
Dr your view #s are sky rocketing ! ! Congrats ! You are such a blessing to all, as eyes are subject to deteriorate for all human ! See your passion and heart in it !
Wow, your eye colour is amazing!
It would be great if you could do a video comparing the different AR coatings and what their reflex colours look like. I'd be really interested to see a comparison between Duravision and Crizal.
Thank you for making this video. I really needed this because I’m about to order my glasses.
Great video!! I've been trying to figure out the features and benefits of an AR coating for about a year. This video explains so much better than my optometrist's staff.
It’s a must, absolute beneficial. thanks We need AR
Thanks Doc! This answered a question I've had for a long time.
Doc you are doing good. Simple words though perfect deliveries. Good examples and perfect identification of daily problems and uses
Doc thanks for the video. I always thought these add-ons especially the AR, were just a way to boost the prices of eye glasses. No one has ever really explain the benefits when ever I got glasses.
Thanks a lot, this video have helped me basically understand what I wanted to know about glasses.
A very clear and simple explanation for our patients. some times they think it's to expensive and not worth it, I going to use the same verbiage, they will understand more than just a cosmetic coating.
Bless you for the honest comparisons. Very helpful
4:50 brochure changing position. Thanks for the video
I have Daltonism and playing Pickleball I noticed that my AR glasses help me see better as oppose to my non-ar which help with seeing more vivid colors; so it's back to the DRAWING board to see what AR's work "best" for me - - Thanks Doc; great video!! 😇😇😇🤴😇😇😇

Thank you! we just had it remodeled about 2 years ago. It was by Eye Designs.
I stopped getting the AR coating because before the year was up, my lenses were so smudgy that I had to turn my head to see clearly in some situations - and I wasn't a kid - but stuff that are considered rough on my glasses. I'll talk to the optician next time about it because friends have commented that my lenses reflect a lot of light and I do hate the halos when I rarely have to drive at night. Thanks for the info!
I have two pairs of TF eyeglasses that I got with regular lenses at the store, then I got a third pair of TF which I ordered online. And to my surprise, they arrived with an AR coating. I regret not getting the other two pairs with an AR coating it really makes a drastic difference.
I got a 2 for 1 deal, a pair of normal glasses and a pair of sunglasses for a pretty good price but then I had to add the price of the AR coating on the normal ones and even more money to get the sunglasses polarized. My first prescription glasses so I'm new to this! Glad to get an explanation, I'm glad I paid the extra now.
Very thorough explanation, well done. Looks like a Speedmaster you have on. Cheers!
Just received a pair of glasses with the Crizal coating and it's leaps and bounds better than my last pair with another A.R. coating. Enough so that I did a little digging around to learn more about it. Really good stuff.

Going to be getting new glasses very soon. You just helped me make my shopping list of things I will need concerning my lens. thanks
I’m new to glasses and contacts and appreciate all your videos! Your contact tutorial all definitely helped me! When I went and I got glasses also they suggested an anti glare coating, I wish I would’ve gotten it. I’ll just have to spring for next time. It’s more money but it’s totally worth it right now. I’m waiting on my contacts to come in from Florida so I’m stuck wearing the glasses I just got. I see all the glare that I don’t see with the contacts
Thanks for the information Doc.
Yes thanks, your video was very informative. Just got anti reflective for the first time
I was first introduced to anti-glare coating to eliminate the reflection of my eyes, which was seriously distracting!
I love this channel very much, cos I myself wear 👓 and have upgraded them to have AR-Coating protection. Very helpful and beneficial, thanks for the eye health seminar, very much appreciated.

Appreciate all your knowledge it helps me pick my next pair of glasses thank you. ✋
One thing not mentioned is depending on the glasses shape light from behind or to the side of you can cast a reflection on the inside of your lenses. It’s crazy annoying. Opted out of coating my most recent ones and I’m regretting it.

I was told that the coating does deteriorate though from salt water or from stronger cleaning chemicals withch will leave you with ruined lenses. Thus if your the type to always wear glasses even while in the water or you work with cleaning chemicals that might splash now and then you might want to pass on the coating
The only drawback is keeping them clean they smudge a lot

Great information! I'm a professional driver and can't see at night...I thought it was my eyes, now I think it's my glasses! Unfortunately my insurance only covers the absolute very bare minimum. I think this is causing my eyesight to be worse! I have to tilt my head up to see while driving at night and everything is still super blurry, etc. Can't read signs, can't read addresses... but fine during the day. Also I'm constantly taking my glasses off to read anything or look at things close up, or else it's super blurry. I can't see anything at all driving without them though, so it's required. Also I clean them, blink, and they're all smudged again.
thank you for your expert help. Getting new galsses soon and i always do my homework before a purchase.
Nice video with some great info. Thank You.
Can you talk about all the various add-ons that will be presented when ordering lenses? Seems like there are quite a few that will take the cost up significantly. You’ve discussed AR coatings, but I recall being offered an assortment of other options. Would like to know if they are worth it. Thanks!!

Yeah, they're called oleophobic coatings. Zenni Optical offers it on their site.
I didn’t know what it was when I purchased it. But I’m so glad I got it.
Anti-reflective seems like the one thing I really want from glasses besides the correction. I hate shopping and fashion and glasses don't offer the options I want to see. I don't want a Nike swhoosh or a DG on my glasses but why not a range finder, motion tracker and/or some sort of augmented information system over the non-dominant eye? These are the upgrades we were promised in the 1980's lol. I recently learned that all my transition lens glasses are a pain if you are training to be a drone pilot. The sun and the glare from the snow turns my glasses into sunglasses and I always loved it. I honestly rarely noticed when they darkened unless I took my glasses off. Now I find myself trying to read a LCD, maintain a Visual Line of Sight with an aircraft and anything I need to see in-between. I am near-sighted so I have managed by bringing my glasses to the end of my nose and looking over them when I need to. I had my eyes checked today and was quickly overwhelmed with the wall of frames and no real help. I left with nothing but the exam and came home to research. I don't think Blue Light will help with how I use a computer screen outside, transitions is out, so I think just the non reflective, the anti-UV coating on both sides is about for usefulness for me. Will the more expensive lens improve clarity/sharpness more than the C-95 (number might be off, srry) or is it more about durability? Anti-Reflective is the only other improvement I can think of, to help with being outdoor in lots of sunshine and using LCD displays unless you have any other suggestions? Strange question for a very niche market.

Thank you for sharing your expertise. If long-distance glasses (intended for driving) with anti-glare protection do not visibly reduce any glare, does it help to have the lenses additionally tinted (50%) or what is the best solution? Is it better to opt for adaptive lenses? My main problem is being blinded by modern LED lights from on coming traffic at night. I must be particularly light sensitive. My prescription is +1.50 and I do not wear glasses permanently. For reading, my prescription is add +2.25 for both eye. Thank you
Thank you for this video Doctor. I really like my progressive transition glasses. Due to an idiopathic double vision the lens are also prisms I also have a dry eye problem. When I am inside my car the transitions don’t work at all and the sun glare really bothers me. I wanted to add anti glare to my glasses but I was told that it wasn’t good for my type of lens. Any other recommendations you could suggest that would be helpful. Thank you!
Nice explanation. Liked it
As far as the blue light coating. I had a pair of high end glasses ordered and the coating actually made the reflection so bad front and back I couldn’t use them. Had to send them back. Don’t know why it was so bad but I’m finding a lot of online shops are actually cheaper with blue light blocking than without now.
