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". D.
