The anti reflective coating of computer glasses eliminates the reflection of light from both the front and back of the lenses, which means the eyes do not have to work so hard and focusing becomes easier.The anti-glare coating on computer glasses will also reduce problems caused by harsh office lighting and boost contrast, which is often lacking on computer screens and is another factor that causes eye strain as they struggle to focus accurately.
