I hear what you are saying for Drivers, but what about Passengers? I am Asperger's with Photophobia and Neurological Hyper Sensitivities to Bright and certain ranges of light and certain conditions, such as being in a Beach or an Overcast day (Due to a Neurological Autoimmune Disorder I am no longer able to drive - so as a Passenger at Night I deply rely on Sunglasses to help me with the Neurological Impact of Artificial Lights, I even use them in Shops)
I have and used yellow amber tinted glasses they were perscribe for a family member yezrs back for dyslexia when they were a child. But i used them now for day time night time driving.... i find them really good.
Totally! A good AR (Anti-Reflective) coating will help to minimize the Halo effect caused by oncoming headlights while providing relief for eyestrain symptoms as well.
For night driving I’d personally never go for a warmer color. I’ve noticed that on longer trips, especially with halogen lights i am more prone to get sleepy.
Yellow/orange is the color tone of the sun setting, which is why warmer colors tend to put you to sleep. It’s also the reason why phones and computers have a night time setting that makes your screen warmer so you can go to sleep easier. Yellow blocks out blue light. Blue or white light gives us the impression of sunrise, which is why you don’t fall asleep. Another reason why some people can’t sleep is cause they see blue/white light from electronics before bed. Side note, blue light hurts the eyes more than any other color. Ever check your phone in the middle of the night? Or a darn led new car drives past you? Yeah…
you are sleepy because your eyes are not stressed. The same in daytime wearing sunglasses, you will get sleepy much easier. By the way being sleepy during driving is much more like your bad mental or health condition, a relaxed and clear minded person is not getting sleepy. Eating junk food, eating large meals, being bored, being depressed, being stressed... these are all making you sleepy.
I have ALL the add on coatings and glare still bugs me as I have an eye disease and my eyes are very sensitive. The yellow is a very big difference for me. It helps with contrast and that glare from the bright white lights. It's not really something someone who doesn't have these issues will understand. I'd suggest giving em a try. You can buy the clip ons to place over your actual prescription glasses. If it works, it WORKS. If not you're out what $10/30? (Some of my glasses cost me almost 1K so...)
I always wondered how these worked and assumed what they did was equalise the light vs dark areas of your vision. It does seem to me that car headlights are much brighter than they used to be. Also in my area the roads aren't always well maintained so the cats eyes are all worn out.
I used “nighttime driving” glasses once, instantly threw them off when I couldn’t see the lines on the road, But years later today I saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith where both Brad and Jolie wore yellow safety glasses and I just wondered why wear yellow?
Thanks for the video! I plow snow in the winter and I sometimes find when its snowing hard at night it is hard to see and strains my eyes so I started researching night driving glasses and came across this video. Do you think the clear antireflective lenses would also work for driving in snowstorms?
Most Definitely! AR coatings were designed to cut glare and sync up the halo effect caused by oncoming headlights. This is most evident when driving in snow due to the increased reflective light intensity. It also reduces eyestrain and provides a much more comfortable viewing experience. In fact, some folks who do not require prescription lenses, but still experience high sensitivity to bright light will use AR coated lenses specifically for nighttime driving.
Actually in my personal opinion that Yellow glasses can be a great help when driving in FOGGY and deep fog weather.. Yellow glasses allows you to see an In coming car, on the opposite lane or allows you to see how close (distance) you might be to the vehicle that is right in front of you.. not just the basic traffic that you talked about in this video.. AGAIN, I repeat, driving in a FOG is NO picnic.. yellow glasses can prevent a serious or fatal accident.
The presenter appears to base all his comments on only one premise. That is that anything that reduces any of the light coming into you glasses is bad. I personally challenge that premise because not all the light that comes at you, especially at night on a wet road helps you see everything on the highway. This is where polarized lenses excel. Due to the nature of light that is reflected from a wet road, a windshield or mirror or many other glossy surfaces, being changed to only horizontal polarization, polarized lens selectively stop this glare while letting all other polarization come through. So yes they reduce some of the light that comes into your eyes; but this primarily reduces the glare from reflections. By doing this it actually increases the ratio of light power that contains needed information such as the image of a pedestrian, bicycle or another car, compared to the total amount of light entering your eyes. In communications this is called the signal to noise ratio. In this video he is primarily speaking of yellow filtering of light and does not take into account polarized lenses. Some of the night driving glasses that are yellow also can be polarized. I have a pair of these and find them excellent for driving at night and in bad weather. If you are a pilot flying an airplane, you probably should avoid using polarized lenses because it inhibits you from seeing the glare of the windshield of an oncoming airplane; but that is another situation that is vastly different from being on the road at night with wet roads reflecting headlights at you.
The ever debated yellow tint! Some find it beneficial for driving at night, but any tint will ultimately reduce the amount of light entering one's eyes and does not combat the 'halo effect' caused by bright oncoming headlights. A clear lens paired with an Anti-Reflective coating will reduce eye strain caused by blinding light from other cars, making it safer for you and everyone else on the road.

@@User24xik what u mean and I agree. I have all the add on coatings and glare still bugs me as I have an eye disease and my eyes are very sensitive. The yellow is a very big difference for me. It helps with contrast and that glare from the bright white lights. It's not really something someone who doesn't have these issues will understand.
Based on my own observation, it seems as though the yellow tinted glasses actually lower the contrast therefore brightening the darker areas that are made darker because of the glare of the bright lights coming at you. I e the brighter the headlight the darker the scenery is minimized by the lower contrasted Vision made possible by the yellow lens
This sounds a bit more like the results of an Anti Reflective coating rather than the yellow tint itself. Either way thank you for the input, it's appreciated!
Hello! You can put a mirror coating on just about any tinted lens but there's no reason to apply it to a clear lens due to the fact that not only does it look odd, it does not benefit the wearer in terms of providing any additional contrast, clarity, eye relief, or aesthetic. As a rule, mirrrors only work on tinted lenses.
So I don’t wear prescription glasses this is strictly for driving when I go on their website to purchase the scavengers it doesn’t show any information about lenses with that being said do I just buy them as they come?
A little one sided video. You don't like them and that comes across. Having said that the presentation is great and the presenter is charismatic enough to enjoy the video. Good job.
Because of the power in my eyes, I had to buy glasses After checkup, I got -1 power in my right eye and -.5 power in my left eye. When I showed the prescription to the shopkeeper, he suggested me to buy a UV blue lens, so I took a Kodak lens (suggested by him) which cost me around rs 3290 (indian rupees). It's showing me a yellow tint and This yellow tint is making it very difficult for me to see during the afternoon. So can this yellow tint be removed after a long time or not?
Hi! Yellow tints can fade over time with repeated sun exposure, but a new lens must be crafted from scratch if u wanted to change the tint type or opt for a clear lens. Many places will remake a lens if not to the wearers satisfaction. I’d check their return policy. Hope this helps!
Hello! With SportRx lenses, it is an optional separate add-on coating called 'Glare Defense' if you're building the lens from scratch. It's often called 'Anti-Reflective' as well.
The Jury is out on this one. Some people swear by the yellow tint for night driving. However, as with any tint, less light is making it to your eyes. For this reason, we still recommend a clear lens with an Anti-reflective coating & no tint for any nightime driving.
Sorry, night vision glasses can also be prescribed for those who wear prescription glasses. It was inside a site bluebyby I liked its shape, but my eyes are weak
Hi there! Blue Light coatings are used mainly to fight synthetic blue light given off by devices such as computer monitors and tablets. There are some blue light blocking lenses that appear to have a yellow tint, but an anti reflective coating provides the most relief from the harsh glare of oncoming headlights.
Hello! A Clear lens paired with an Anti-Reflective & Scratch Resistant Coating (which includes Oleophobic properties for fighting moisture buildup) is all one needs for night driving! Select Glare Defense Pro or Blue Defense when building out your lenses or give our opticians a call for more information 877.289.2999
So yellow lenses darken your vision. regular sunglasses darken your vision which helps reduce the sun and stops you squinting and the glare from the sun. If yellow glasses are reducing the amount of light getting to your eyes how is it even possible that they are not reducing the light from headlights? It sounds like yellow driving glasses are basically similar to a lightly tinted set of sunglasses. Instead of asking peoples opinions during tests they would be better off taking images of a glaring light with and without the lenses and using light meters. I'm not concerned about the darkness its the light that hurts my eyes and lightly tinted glasses will not massively reduce the power of my led novsight headlights which do not blind anyone but light up the road great
Hi Jason! The light that is 'hurting your eyes' is caused by the glare produced by the bright oncoming headlights from other cars on the road. The amount of tint, or tint intensity, won't combat this problem other making it more difficult to see out said lenses especially when driving at night. Whether you opt for a tinted vs. a clear lens, the main benefit for fighting eyestrain caused by glare is an Anti-Reflective coating applied to your lenses.

If it reduces glare to someone, then it reduces glare to them. It doesn't matter what studies say, if subjective experience of glare reduction and not being blinded by oncoming headlights is true. Fan: "I can now see perfectly for night time driving wearing them." Other Guy: "No you can't studies have shown." Fan: "Bro, I'm literally blinded by light when not wearing them. When I wear them I'm not blinded by light any longer." Other Guy: "Nuh uh, studies have shown..." ...
Hi! Lens-specific dry cleaning wipes & spray combo is the best option for removing oil and grease from lens surfaces. A microfiber cloth on hand will help keep lint and dust particles off as well.
False. Human eyes are more sensitive to yellow light, so changing the light with a yellow tint fools you into thinking it’s brighter while in fact it’s not because it’s blocking all of most of the blue light. Which decreases the overall light spectrum
