What is AR coating? Anti-reflective coating, also called "AR coating" or "anti-glare coating," can eliminate reflections from the front and back surfaces of your eyeglass lenses. With reflections gone, more light passes through your lenses to optimize visual acuity with fewer distractions. This helps people see your eyes and facial expressions more clearly, provides sharper vision with less glare when driving at night, and greater comfort during prolonged computer use.
