glare reduction

Lessening harsh light

Glare reduction is the lessening of harsh, uncomfortable brightness—especially reflected light that impairs vision or causes eye strain.

The term appears in contexts from eyewear to computer screens to architectural design: The monitor features glare reduction coating, glare reduction film for car windows.

Anti-glare and glare-reducing are common variants.
