What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
These are specialized low vision sunglasses with an amber tint that blocks 100% of UV light while allowing only 15% of visible light through — a combination that reduces glare significantly more than standard sunglasses. They're designed for people with conditions like macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or cataracts, where sensitivity to bright light and glare is a daily challenge. The SpectraShield frame includes a top ridge and built-in side shields to block light from above and the sides, and the glasses fit over most prescription frames. The 15% transmission is quite dark, so they're best suited for bright outdoor environments or very strong artificial lighting — not for indoor or low-light use.
