ABSTRACT:
Night driving eyeglasses include an illuminating color band extending upwardly from the bottom of the lens to cover about 50 per cent to about 75 per cent of the surface area of the lens and a glare-reducing color band extending downwardly from the top of the lens to cover about 25 per cent to about 50 per cent of the surface area of the lens, with a distinct interface between the color bands. The glasses further include a nonreflective coating made from a plurality of layers of magnesium oxide selectively applied to a surface of the lenses of the glasses. Preferably, the distinct interface is located about 5 mm above the top of the wearer's pupil. The color bands and the nonreflective coating all cooperate to equalize the illumination of the wearer's entire field of vision.
