"Since wearing military issue night vision goggles and driving around with the lights off is highly illegal, watchmaker Tag Heuer has created its Night Vision glasses.

The posh glasses have been designed specifically for drivers and correct the low-light short-sightedness that everyone endures from “twilight to sunrise”. The specs sport titanium frames in both Wide and Panorama shapes with anti-slip elastomere arms. The company says:

“The pale yellow lenses offer constant clear, sharp vision with a very high light transmission rate in order to contrast dark blue and green surroundings without changing colour perception. The special ophthalmic lenses offer an anti-reflective treatment, which reduces glare and offers more accurate sight.”

It might sound like bunkum but these glasses are already being sported by F1 and Indianapolis 500 drivers, and you can expect Le Mans drivers to be queuing up too. The key difference is that they’ll get theirs for free and you won’t. No price yet but they’re shipping soon. "

do they do prescription night vision lenses?

I like

Bet they'll be really cheap....

they look as cool as they do expensive

I use similar offshore for nightime banksman operations. You get better contrast and can judge distance better, it makes it safer. Your eyes adjust quickly to the residual light levels.

I will say though that on dark country roads, with no background lighting they make vision worse.

Good in town... sh*t out in the countryside.

I nearly bought the "normal" specs in that style last week when I was in Eye 2 Eye in Glasgow.
£300 inc prescription lenses.
(obviously clear glass)
cool specs

What's so special about them for the night time stuff then? Is it just the fact that they are non-reflective yellow lenses? I'll just stick to my £50 yellow Ralf Lauren jobs that I got in the bargain bucket at the Sunglasses Hut.
