Anti-glare and anti-reflective coatings are similar but serve slightly different purposes:
1. Anti-Glare Coating: Reduces glare from bright lights and screens, making it easier to see in bright conditions and reducing eye strain.
2. Anti-Reflective Coating: Minimizes reflections on the surface of the lenses, enhancing visual clarity by making the lenses appear almost invisible. Both coatings improve the reading experience by reducing visual disturbances and increasing comfort.
