Hi my friend, how are you? I hope you are doing and keeping well. I remember you told me that i can change outdoor glasses’s mirror with yellow color, then it can be more protective toward sun? I feel that my eyes are being sensitive toward sun shadows when i drive a car in the morning times. If i change the mirror with yellow format, it can better for me? Should i try?
OUR RESPONSE:
Well yes and no
So each color of lens works best at a certain situation
Polarized gray is best for water sports and general outdoor setting. Water reflects so much light that it acts like a mirror. Polarized lens would cut that glare from light reflection. So for driving and water sports and general outdoor use I would stick with polarized. The only problem with polarized lens is that it’s made of many different layers. It only last about a year or so because eventually water would go into the layers and delaminate the layers.
Yellow lens is good for needing high contrast color. So lots of shooters and hunters use yellow or Orange lens. It is also very good for computer use because yellow can reduce the blue light from the computer or tv. And yellow is good for nighttime because it tricks your computer to think that it makes things brighter (though it doesn’t). It also reduces the oncoming blinding traffic light from other cars.
Now you mentioned you’re sensitive to sun shadows during early morning
Is it because the polarized lens is too dark so you couldn’t see the shadow? If it is then I’d recommend take off the glasses or yes use yellow for better contrast.
This is my 2nd pair. I like the wrap around, really protects the eyes from sun and wind. The color is more maroon than red. Already getting compliments on them. I need to order the pink ones next. They fit great.
