Reflection

What is Reflection?

Reflection occurs when part of the incident light does not pass through the lens but is deflected towards the eye or outwards. It is a natural phenomenon that depends on the materials, coatings and lighting conditions.

• Reflection front — Visible on the outer surface of the lens.
• Reflection internal — It may impair vision in very bright environments.
• Contrast reduction — It affects the perception of details.

Why it is important

• Sharpness — Reflections reduce the perceived image quality.
• Visual comfort — They can cause discomfort, particularly in the evening or when using a computer.
• Aesthetics — A lens with fewer reflections appears clearer.
• Everyday experience — It affects driving, digital work and dynamic activities.

Solutions for reducing glare

At Isolani Optical Centres, we use optical solutions designed to reduce glare and improve clarity, comfort and aesthetic appeal.

• Anti-Reflection treatment — It drastically reduces reflections on the lens surface.
• Transparent materials — They improve light transmission.
• Polarised lenses — They eliminate reflections from horizontal surfaces.
• Photochromic lenses — They adjust the brightness to reduce glare outdoors.

Isolani Experience

Each lens is designed with the frame, technical specifications and lifestyle in mind, to ensure an ideal balance between visual quality, comfort and aesthetic clarity, whilst minimising unwanted glare.

• Bespoke glasses — Complete customisation of the frame and choice of lenses.
• Behavioural Centring — Real-world operating parameters for precise design.
• Simulation Room — Aesthetic and functional checks prior to production.

Ongoing support

The management of glare depends on materials, treatments and conditions of use. At Isolani Optical Centres, we offer ongoing support with adjustments, non-medical checks and updates to your optical solutions where necessary, to ensure you maintain clear and comfortable vision over time.
