Anti-reflective coating is an optical coating, which is applied on the back and front surface of optical elements and optical lenses to abate the reflection. It seizures the unwanted reflection from surfaces and helps in improved visibility. The anti-reflective coating has high transmittance and low reflectance, and therefore, are commonly used in eyewear applications. It eliminates back glares associated with sunglass and eyeglasses.It is extensively used in the electronics, solar, architecture, military and defense, automotive, medical, and telecommunication industries.
