Can Anti Glare Glasses Be Used While Watching TV And Driving? Does It Raise The Power?
Question: I have minor power
Right eye: SPH = -0.25 CYL= -0.25 Axis = 55 vision 6/6
Left eye: SPH = -0.25 CYL=-0.25 Axis = 65 vision 6/6
Is is ok to wear anti glare glasses while watching TV, working on computer and driving. I have heard that prolonged use of anti-glare anti-reflective glasses can develop permanent power and the need to wear glasses permanently. Is this true? Please advise.

Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for the query.
You have a very minor degree of simple myopic astigmatism.
Anti-glare glasses reduce the glare from bright light sources and reduce eye strain. Anti-glare glasses have no effect on your power. We sometimes prescribe anti-glare glasses for people with no power. So you can wear your glasses without any fear.
I hope I have answered your query. I will be available for any further queries if you have any.
If you do not have any further queries please close this discussion.
Best regards,
