Astigmatism and new glasses?

Question

So I got some new glasses for my astigmatism but I'm still seeing glare out of my right eye when I watch tv or when I'm on the pc.I thought the glasses would fix the glare. I'm thinking of getting a new exam.

Answer 1

Most glare that people experience with glasses is from light reflecting off the lens.  With a normal lens around 86% of light goes through the lens.  The rest of it bounces off and causes glare and reflections.  There is a coating that can be put on the glasses to let more light through the lens and less light bouncing off. That would help with glare problems.  If you have it and still experience glare then I would have it checked out.
