About Driving Lenses
In general, driving lenses should improve contrast and relax the eye muscles to reduce stress while you’re behind the wheel. Many drivers opt for grey sunglasses lenses, which allow the lowest light transmission and make a good choice in the brightest sunlight. But brown or amber-colored lenses increase contrast, enabling a driver to better read the road contours. These lenses also minimize eye strain because they reduce the glare of scattered light from dirty windshields, smog, and haze. In addition, brown and amber lenses allow drivers to wear their sunglasses earlier in the day and later into the evening. Sunglasses with yellow lenses work well for driving in low light conditions, like the rain or during a snow event, because they make everything appear brighter, and they enhance contrast and depth perception.
