Default Anti reflective lenses and EFIS

Has anyone tried the anti reflective coating applied to prescription glasses. My latest prescription makes the screens one off. They work fine on the old steam gauges but the screens are a bit tough to see clearly on the, new to me screens. I'm wondering if the anti glare coating might help?

I have anti reflective rx sunglasses and have no trouble with EFIS. If I wear polarized glasses on the other hand, the screens seem to go black and pulse. Polarization is great for glare, but not for EFIS.

I use anti glare coatings and mine are fine, but when I first got them they screwed up the coating and things were blurry. Don't know how long you have had them but something maybe off.

Default Definitely Try Anti Reflective lens

You should definitely try Anti-reflective coating as they reduce glare and make things easier. You can also use polarized Sunglasses as they have beneficial during day time, and Anti Reflective ones are beneficial during night time.
