This is what I have, but I'm my right eye. The glasses are great, can't believe I've been so long without a pair..

You do realise you are born with it........how the hell did nobody pick up on it when you were a child?

Like everything, not all coatings are equal, some are more equal than others.

I find the anti-glare from Specsavers has worked nicely and I've had extremely good experience with the anti-scratch side of it. A friend of mine had some anti-whatever coating on his specs from another place and it flaked off. Useless.

I find I tend to use my reactions specs only in very bright conditions, like on holiday on the continent. Hardly use them in the UK, mostly the light isn't bright enough for me. Also note due to the UV filtering they hardly change when behind car windscreen or helmet visors.

My prescription has barely changed for 20yrs but now my eyes are beginning to suffer the ravages of time, they definitely aren't as flexible as they were and I can't get the close vision I used to, that's just age, it's not a result of wearing specs. On the other hand I've always thought it good practice to exercise your eyes as much as you can, regularly look at a distant object if you're doing close up stuff, and vice versa.

It's a bit like old folk complaining that modern food doesn't have the flavour it did when they were young. Truth is they have lost most of their sense of taste and smell.
