Harry Potter Question

This is probably the dumbest question ever posted but…

…but I really need to know. I know that Daniel Rdcliffe doesn't really need glasses. So, in the earlier movies, I can tell the glasses don't have lenses by the lack of a glare. In later ones, there is a glare.
So, my question is this: how did the moviemakers produce a glare on lenses that weren't there?

Maybe they digitally added lenses or he wore window glass in them.

Window glass would probably still screw with his vision. With anything clear, there is always some distortion for those that look through. With the glasses, it might not have been much, but it would have been enough to screw with depth perception

Daniel Radcliffe said that some of the glasses have lenses and some don't have lenses. When they want a glare they use the ones with lenses. So maybe they wanted a glare more often in the later movies. It depends on the camera angles and how it looks with or without lenses(or with or without a glare).

If it is an effects thing, whichever movie maker started doing it probably just thought up the idea late in the series.

fake lenses
or
you just don't see the glare in the earlier movies
or
you need glasses
or
they realized that there weren't any lenses in the earlier ones
or
they had been afraid if fake lenses broke it would have hurt Dan's face...
or...
The list of possibilities goes on and on, but I'll stop here...

There's a magnificent instrument called "Computer" and they've built a castle and a whole magical world with it ... would it be so hard to make Harry's lenses glare or refract light

Im not sure if they were fake lenses or real ones, but i know there were two pairs of glasses some with lenses in and some without, they used the ones without because sometimes the crew/camera were reflected in them when they were filming :)
