Both.

Their correcting effect comes from refraction, unwanted shine and "ghost" images come from reflection.

Refract light. They only reflect when you see a glare or ghost image


Do eyeglasses reflect or refract light?

Eyeglasses primarily refract light as they bend it to focus properly on the retina. Some reflection may occur on the surfaces of the lenses, but the main function is to refract light to correct vision.

Can mirrors cameras telescope and eye glasses refract light?

Mirrors don't refract, they reflect. All lenses, on the other hand, refract (bend) the light. All cameras have lenses, to focus the image; same for eyeglasses. Some telescopes have lenses, but others are collections of mirrors. Note that some few optical elements are lenses and mirrors - like prescription sunglasses with mirror coating.


Does an echo refract or reflect?

An echo is created when sound waves reflect off a surface and return to the listener. In this process, the sound waves do not refract, but rather bounce off the surface at an angle equal to the incident angle.


Does a pair of eyeglasses transmits light?

No, eyeglasses do not transmit light. They help focus light entering the eye onto the retina to improve vision. The lenses in the eyeglasses refract light to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.


Do eyeglasses scatter light?

Eyeglasses do not scatter light, but they do refract, or bend, light to focus it properly on the retina of the eye. This correction helps improve vision for individuals with refractive errors like myopia or hyperopia.
