nonglare
Reduces harsh reflections
Nonglare describes surfaces or materials treated or designed to reduce reflected light and prevent the harsh brightness that can strain eyes or obscure vision.
Computer screens, eyeglasses, picture frames, and automotive dashboards commonly feature nonglare coatings or finishes.
I switched to a nonglare monitor for late-night work.
The term functions as an adjective, often appearing before the noun it modifies or hyphenated as non-glare.
