What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
These are clip-on tinted lenses in a yellow filter that attach over standard prescription eyeglasses to reduce glare while maintaining very high light transmission — letting through about 87% of visible light. They're designed for people with low vision conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, or cataracts who need improved contrast sensitivity without significant dimming of their environment. The yellow tint enhances edge contrast and depth perception in lower-light situations, while fully blocking UV and high-energy blue light. This is a standalone accessory that clips directly onto most eyeglass frames — no prescription needed — but the fit depends on whether your existing frames are compatible with the clip-on design.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
- Clip the lenses over your existing eyeglasses — they work immediately with no adjustment period required.
- If contrast or comfort feels off, try different lighting conditions; yellow lenses typically perform best indoors or in overcast outdoor settings.
- With professional help
- A low vision optometrist or orientation and mobility specialist can recommend the right filter color and transmission percentage for your specific condition and lighting environments.
- Expect a single low vision evaluation (1–2 hours) to determine which NoIR filter is optimal for your needs.
