I currently have standard-definition eyes and am trying to decide if I should upgrade to HD eyes now or wait until the government-mandated analog to digital photon conversion. I am thinking about these. https://www.hdwraparounds.net/?cid=656531 Thoughts? |

or wait until the government-mandated analog to digital photon conversion. AKA...plugging the last "analog hole", ha! Big Content cheers! Those glasses would be mighty tempting if they came with cobalt blue lenses. Puke yellow? Pass. |

Sun glasses do improve color vision on most people, polarized glasses also help with this. |

Polarized glasses have been able to do this for years. These days it's not what you sell, it's how you sell it. There are so many suckers out there thinking they got a once in a life time deal on something. |

Yellow glasses, I've seen them at work. And they do give you better sight somehow, I tried it. But the yellow colour isn't your everything... |

yes filters can improve some parameters in your vision ... sharpness, details ... but a yellow filter will turn white to yellow, so I won't say it improves colors ... it's just a trade-off. plus yellow/polarized glasses like that shouldn't be used in snow/beach/too sunny environments unless you want to damage your eyesight... (by reducing perceived light they make your iris open more, yet all damaging effects of sun are unfiltered ...) all in all that's pure commercial bullshit. |

This is all old stuff and have been available in one form or another for a long time. The Night driving ones do work if you do long trips at night. I used to get an extra pair of prescription glass made with the yellow tinted lens when I was making 2 300 miles trip each month. It does cut down on fatigue on long drive as it dims the oncoming headlights without affecting your night vision. |

I used to do a lot of mt biking, often times driving home in the dark. My eyes are very sensitive to a combination of light and dark, so headlights coming at me at night, especially with the glare rain adds, is very straining. I took to using a cheap pair of pale yellow glasses for night driving. They bring out the contrast without being overly dark and make the bright lights and glare juxtaposed to the dark much easier to take. They're commonly used for shooting glasses too. |
