What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
These are specialized fitover sunglasses that block virtually all incoming light, allowing only 3% transmission, while providing full infrared, ultraviolet, and blue light filtration. They're designed for people with extreme light sensitivity — particularly those in early-stage retinitis pigmentosa or certain photosensitive conditions where even moderate indoor or outdoor light causes discomfort or harm. The fitover frame wraps over most existing prescription glasses, eliminating the need to remove your regular eyewear, and the wraparound design with side shields minimizes light entering from the sides. At 3% transmission, these are among the darkest filters NoIR offers, so if your sensitivity is moderate rather than severe, you may find them too dark for everyday use — start with a sample or consult a low vision specialist before purchasing.
