Practical Designs for the Next Generation of Eyeglass Coatings

The advent of Zoom and Team Meetings and other face-time communications has made the annoyance of reflections from uncoated eyeglasses more apparent. Even the residual reflections from some of the current commercially available antireflection (AR) coatings can be distracting. The goal of this work is to find the most practical recommended AR coating design for the next generation of eyeglass coatings which will effectively eliminate these annoying reflections which are currently seen when in a Zoom or Teams meeting with those who do not have sufficiently well-coated glasses. The evolution of the designs from many layers to the recommended four layers will be presented.
