Anti-glare filters are designed to help relieve eye strain, fatigue, headaches and the stress associated with continued viewing of computer monitors by reducing glare. Anti-radiation filters help eliminate exposure to radiation emissions. Some products provide both anti-glare and radiation protection.
An anti-glare filter placed in front of the computer screen is very useful for an individual with a visual impairment. As filters come in various shades, it is important to choose a high quality filter which best suits your individual need, as some filters can be too dark, making it difficult to read the screen.
