NoIR Fit Over 11% Dark Gray, Large
$18.70
These large fit-over sunglasses in dark gray cut glare and give 100% UV protection, and they can be worn over most prescription glasses or on their own. The whole lens body is made of one dark gray filter that lets in about 11% of light. Fitted side shields and curved, temple-lapped arms block stray light and help the frames stay put. They suit someone who is bothered by bright light or glare and wants a darker tint that keeps colors looking natural. The vendor describes this filter as helpful for people with diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, or cataracts. One thing to check: one listing says 11% light transmission and another says 13%, so confirm before ordering if the exact number matters.

NoIR Clip On, Flip Up, 28% Medium Gray
$55.00
This clip-on filter attaches to your existing eyeglasses and flips up out of the way when you don't need it. The medium gray lens lets in 28% of visible light and blocks 100% of ultraviolet light, plus infrared. It's meant to cut glare and ease eye discomfort in bright settings. It measures 132mm x 52mm (about 5.2 by 2 inches), so check that it covers your lenses before you buy. It's often suggested for people with glaucoma or early cataracts, and an eye care professional can tell you whether this shade suits your eyes.

NoIR 28% Medium Gray SpectraShield Small 421-31
$55.00
These NoIR SpectraShield glasses have medium gray lenses that let through 28 percent of light and block all UV. They are meant for people who struggle with glare and want a tint that cuts brightness without a strong color shift. The product listing mentions use after cataract surgery and with glaucoma. This is the small size, so fit matters. Light needs differ a lot from person to person, so a vision professional can help you choose the right darkness.

NoIR 28% Medium Gray SpectraShield Medium 421-36
$55.00
These medium-size fit-over sunglasses sit right on top of regular prescription glasses, or can be worn alone. The medium gray filter passes about 28 percent of light and blocks all ultraviolet and blue light, which cuts glare while keeping contrast and sharpness. A ledge across the top and small filtered windows on the sides keep stray sun and artificial light from sneaking in around the edges. They suit someone who finds bright light uncomfortable, including after cataract surgery or with eye conditions like glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy. Because this is the medium frame, check the size against your glasses first; the frame is roughly 5.6 inches wide, and the temples (the side arms) adjust.

COIL +6.0, 8 B.I., 45mm, Brown, 1/2 Eye
$77.95
These are prismatic reading glasses with a +6.0 diopter (a measure of magnifying strength) and 8 base-in prism, sold as a half-eye style with small 45mm lenses in brown. Prism glasses like this help the eyes work together at close range, which can cut eyestrain when someone with low vision reads for a while.
