Last week I mentioned “driving glasses” as my light item on the podcast. Wanted to better describe what that meant.

It’s just a pair of shades with a very specific lens, lens tint, and coating. It’s a Zeiss “DriveSafe” lens that gives you sharp peripheral vision, with magma orange tint (which changes the contrast), plus a sapphire flash coating (for deflecting direct sun).

You’d probably have to ask an optician to special-order it. But I find it really useful from basically dawn to dusk, unless I’m facing absolutely direct sunlight head-on.
