Ergonomic studies [4] show that prolonged work in the office environment with the presence of discomforting glares and disturbances from light reflections on the screen can cause mild to severe health effects, ranging from eye strain and headaches to photosensitive epileptic episodes. These effects are usually explained by the physiology of the ...
A single sheet of Glare may be referred to using the naming convention GLARE grade - Aluminum layers / Glass fiber layers - Aluminum layer thickness. The number of aluminum layers is always one more than the number of glass fiber layers, and the aluminum layer thickness is in millimeters, which can range from 0.2 to 0.5 mm (0.0079 to 0.0197 in ...

Discomfort glare is a psychological sensation caused by high brightness (or brightness contrast) within the field of view, which does not necessarily impair vision. [2] In buildings, discomfort glare can originate from small artificial lights (e.g. ceiling fixtures) that have brightnesses that are significantly greater than their surrounding.

Anti-reflective coatings are used in a wide variety of applications where light passes through an optical surface, and low loss or low reflection is desired. Examples include anti-glare coatings on corrective lenses and camera lens elements, and antireflective coatings on solar cells. [2]
Veiling glare in a photograph from Cassini (spacecraft) Veiling glare caused by stray light reflecting inside the camera or scattering in the lens. Veiling glare is an imperfection of performance in optical instruments (such as cameras and telescopes) arising from incoming light that strays from the normal image-forming paths, and reaches the focal plane. [1]
glare from bad lighting is a public-health hazard—especially the older you become. Glare light scattering in the eye causes loss of contrast and leads to unsafe driving conditions, much like the glare on a dirty windshield from low-angle sunlight or the high beams from an oncoming car."
