Eschenbach Solar Shield Orange Fit-Over Glasses – Small, Medium & Large

What Are the Best Orange Fit-Over Glasses for Better Contrast?

If you wear eyeglasses and want stronger contrast with more light reduction than a yellow lens, orange fit-over glasses can be a good choice.

The Solar Shield Orange filter is designed to reduce selected blue light and increase contrast, helping edges, shapes and details stand out more clearly. With approximately 32% visible light transmission, it gives you a noticeably darker view than Yellow while still being much lighter than the darkest Solar Shield filters.

What Are Orange Lenses Best For?

Orange lenses are best when you want strong contrast enhancement along with moderate brightness reduction.

They can be especially helpful for people with light sensitivity or glare sensitivity who want more filtering than Yellow provides but do not want an extremely dark lens.

Choose Orange if you:

• Want edges, shapes and details to stand out more clearly
• Want stronger filtering than a light Yellow lens
• Prefer a moderate-dark lens rather than one of the darkest filters
• Are bothered by glare or bright light
• Want contrast enhancement for detailed visual tasks

What Activities Are Orange Lenses Good For?

Orange Solar Shield lenses may be especially useful for activities such as:

• Reading in brighter environments
• Watching television
• Crafts and hobbies where seeing details clearly is important
• Outdoor sightseeing
• Walking outdoors during the day
• Sporting events and outdoor activities
• Gardening or yard work
• Shopping or running errands
• Other daytime activities where improved contrast can make details easier to distinguish

What Does 32% Light Transmission Mean?

The Orange Solar Shield filter allows approximately 32% of visible light through.

In simple terms, about one-third of the available light reaches your eyes while about two-thirds is filtered out.

That makes Orange a medium-dark filter: darker than Yellow, but considerably lighter than Amber, Plum or Gray.

Will Orange Lenses Change the Colors I See?

The lenses will add an orange tint to your view, so colors will not look exactly the same as they do through a clear or neutral gray lens.

That tint is part of the filtering effect. By reducing selected wavelengths of light, the Orange filter can increase contrast and help edges and details appear more defined, which may make certain visual tasks easier.

Are Orange Solar Shield Glasses Good for Driving?

No. The Orange Solar Shield filter is not for driving.

The manufacturer specifically cautions against driving while wearing this filter, so it should not be used for either daytime or nighttime driving.

Which Solar Shield Size Should I Choose?

Measure the outside width and height of the eyeglasses you plan to wear underneath.

The Medium Oval is an older Solar Shield frame that are still have available in limited inventory.
