I've always found this Auntie Glare to be more of Auntie Purse. I don't have
it on my lenses now and oh, the difference to me...is zero. I am outdoors
quite often, too. One good way to check it out is to ask the optician for
plain lenses (demo ones) with and without the anti-glares, take it out into
the sunshine and see whether you really need them.

To me, they are like the "anti-glare screens" that used to be sold for
television sets....QU...Quite Unnecessary.

Are there any eye doctors/opticians on this list? Nishant, do any of your
"chashmakdukanwala" relatives subscribe to this list? I seriously do want to
ask them about pricing policies on lenses and frames....they seem (like bad
glasses) to be so opaque! All I get when I ask probing questions is vague
replies like "Chinese frames, madam", or that old chestnut, "difference in
quality".
