Is anti scratch or anti glare coating necessary for new eyeglasses?

[Malaysia]

I am going to get a new pair of eyeglasses, and I know there are some coatings such as anti-scratch,anti-glare or UV protection,is there anything else? Are they necessary for the glasses?

That will depend on the purpose that you get your glasses. If you use your glasses to drive, an anti-glare coating is necessary because it can help you reduce the glare while driving. UV protection is needed when you go outside and need your glasses to block the harmful UV rays. An anti-scratch coating can protect your glasses lens from being scratched so that your glasses can last longer. I think an anti-scratch coating is the essential for a new pair of eyeglasses.

I think the anti-scratch coating is enough. Other coating on them are just a waste of money.

None of them is necessary. Don't pay extra money on these useless coatings.
