However a good Multilayer reflection free coating is essential to reduce glare from oncoming head lights.
Agreed. Sometime ago I wore an old pair of spare glasses while my new ones were being made. They had no anti reflection coating and were horrendous at night, spreading the glare across the lenses.
I quite agree, even if it means paying a bit more (some shops, especially those at the more 'discount' end of the range make this an extra), often only a tenner max.
I find, as someone with lighter-coloured irises (I think that's why, anyway) who was difficulty adapting quickly from darkness to bright light conditions (or the opposite way around), I need both a coating to reduce glare and those nice 'reactolite' (or similar) lenses that quickly go dark in high ambient brightness conditions and back again, such as going through tunnels on bright days or in winter when the sun is bright but low in the sky.
Far better than my 'old' system I used during my early years of driving when I had two pairs of glasses (it worked out cheaper back then to do so), one for general use and one prescription sunglasses. I would not advise changing over glasses as you drive!
