I'm hoping someone here may shed some light (pardon the expression) on something I heard the other day.

Patient comes in & while discussing coatings, she said she had read some new information that was researched by an Australian company. Apparently glare & reflection are big issues Down Under as the sun is very bright there. The Aussies are on the forefront of contact lens resesarch also.

The research said that when driving at night, the main visual problem was not so much reflections but the eye receiving multiple images from (1) oncoming headlights, (2) street lights & signs, & (3) light bouncing off the road surface when wet. The researchers had concluded that AR actually exaggerates & increases the multiple images, aggravating night driving. This is contrary to what most of us have been telling folks! Most people I know who have AR say it helps their night driving. Anyone have a handle on this?
