- I've got corrective eyeglasses which I use primarily for night driving.
- The coating definitely reduces the halo effect that you normally
- get at night with oncoming car headlights.

- The only drawback is that they are somewhat harder to clean.
- In my mind, the cost and more difficult cleaning is definitely
- worth the improved vision while driving at night.
