What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
These are specialized filter glasses that block all UV light and blue wavelengths while allowing 87% of visible light through, using a yellow-tinted lens that heightens contrast in everyday environments. They're designed for people with conditions like macular degeneration, cataracts, or other low vision conditions where glare and light scatter reduce functional vision — yellow tints are particularly effective at improving contrast on overcast days and in mixed indoor/outdoor lighting. The SpectraShield wraparound frame design includes a brow guard ledge and side-panel windows, reducing light leakage from above and the sides — a meaningful improvement over standard sunglasses for people with light sensitivity. These fit over most prescription glasses and are a complete, ready-to-use solution, though an eye care specialist can help identify which NoIR filter color is best for your specific condition.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
- Put the glasses on directly or slide them over your existing prescription eyewear.
- Adjust fit on your face — no tools or configuration needed.
- With professional help
- A low vision optometrist or optician can evaluate whether yellow (87% transmission) is the optimal tint, or whether a different NoIR filter color better addresses your specific vision condition.
- Expect one low vision evaluation appointment lasting 45–60 minutes. See your eye care provider or a low vision specialist for guidance.
