Driving Glasses
Driving glasses come in two different categories: sunglasses designed specifically for driving and prescription eyeglasses. Sunglasses for driving feature polarized lenses that reduce glare and make it easier to see in bright sunlight. Drivers who have been in accidents often claim that they couldn't see the other car or a pedestrian because of glare reflecting off the road or the sun shining in their eyes. Studies have even shown that glare can be a causative factor in automobile accidents. Polarized lenses reduce glare and make it easier to see in any situation where there is glare. Sunglasses tinted specifically for driving increase contrast and make it easier to see. Prescription eyewear for driving includes your distance prescription and should have an anti-reflective coating. This special coating reduces glare from light reflecting off the front and back surfaces of your lenses and allows light to enter your eyes for better vision when driving at night.
