ABSTRACT:
Spectacles for reducing glare due to oncoming traffic while driving at night. The spectacles include a mask or filter that blocks light from entering the wearer's eyes when the source of light is on the opposing side of the highway. The mask may either be a part of the lenses of the spectacles or supported in front of the spectacle lenses by means of a “clip-on” device. If a perpendicular reference line is drawn on the lenses that passes through the optical center of the lens, the mask covers the portion of the lens between ˜225° and 15° with respect to the perpendicular (or the mirror image on British-type highways), or, with reference to the face of a clock, the portion of the lens between 7:30 and 12:30. The mask can be opaque, or it can be a low transmissivity filter (transmissivity ˜10%) or a notch filter that passes only red light. The angle from which oncoming light can be blocked my be changed by a slight rotation of the wearer's head.
