[BNM] [OT] A good opticians

[Luke Burstow]

My experience is that you'll still have issues even with tinted/reactolight
type lenses - the contrast between glare through the window and the monitor
screen will be the same (albeit that both will be darker). Also bear in mind
that most coatings that you mention use uv light to activate them and that
the window glass will affect how much they darken by - I've had problems in
my car where lenses don't react even in very strong sunlight (the car does
have a uv filter built into the glass though).

Might be cheaper/better to get a blind fitted?

Cheers

Luke

On the subject of glasses, does anyone use reactions/transitions lenses? I'm
tempted to get some as I need glasses while using the computer and my desk
faces a very bright window with lots of glare from the white buildings
outside. The windows are just plain glass, no fancy coatings to block UV
etc.

Also has anyone used an online company for getting glasses re-glazed? I have
an old pair of glasses with nice frames that I could get re-glazed with
transitions lenses to try them out.
E.g.

Thanks,
Martyn
