Orange Contrast Glasses – NoIR Filters 60, 63 & 68 | Glare Reduction

What Are the Best Orange Contrast Glasses for Glare and Better Detail?

If glare makes objects, edges and details harder to distinguish, orange contrast glasses can help improve visual separation while reducing bothersome light. These NoIR UVShield options use specialized orange filters designed to increase contrast, reduce glare and help details stand out more clearly.

This listing gives you four choices ranging from a relatively light 64% VLT orange filter to an extremely dark 4% VLT filter. Three options use the discontinued NoIR N-Series standalone frame, while the U68 option is a fit-over frame designed to be worn over corrective eyewear. These frames and filters are discontinued will no longer be available when inventory is gone.

FINAL SALE – $24.95: Originally $69.95. These are remaining-inventory items and will not be restocked by us once sold out. All sales are final.

Which Orange Lens Should I Choose?

Orange – Filter 60 | 49% VLT | N-Series

Filter 60 is a good middle-ground option when you want stronger contrast and glare reduction without an extremely dark view. The orange filter intensifies the difference between objects and backgrounds, helping shapes and details appear more defined.

  • Best for: moderate glare, contrast enhancement and everyday visual tasks
  • Allows approximately 49% of visible light through
  • Helps increase contrast and visual definition
  • Provides blue-blocking filtration
  • Good when you want a noticeable orange filter without extreme darkness
  • Frame: Discontinued N-Series standalone frame

Think of Filter 60 as the medium-strength orange option.

Dark Orange – Filter 63 | 4% VLT | N-Series

Filter 63 is the darkest option in this listing. It combines orange contrast enhancement with extremely strong brightness reduction for someone who finds ordinary sunglasses or lighter filters do not reduce enough light.

  • Best for: intense outdoor brightness, strong glare and significant light sensitivity
  • Allows only approximately 4% of visible light through
  • Filters approximately 96% of visible light
  • Provides the strongest brightness reduction of these four options
  • Helps intensify contrast while dramatically reducing surrounding light
  • Provides blue-blocking filtration
  • Not for driving
  • Frame: Discontinued N-Series standalone frame

Think of Filter 63 as the extra-dark outdoor option.

Light Orange – Filter 68 | 52% VLT | N-Series

This is the legacy discontinued Filter 68 used in the N-Series frame. It allows approximately 52% of visible light through and provides orange contrast enhancement without making the view extremely dark.

  • Best for: moderate light, glare reduction and tasks where better contrast is useful
  • Allows approximately 52% of visible light through
  • Helps intensify backgrounds and improve visual separation
  • Provides blue-blocking filtration
  • Maintains a brighter view than darker orange filters
  • Frame: Discontinued N-Series standalone frame

This lighter orange lens enhances contrast while allowing about 52% of visible light through, making it a good choice when you want better definition without a very dark lens.

Orange – Filter 68 | 64% VLT | U Fit-Over

The U68 uses the 64% VLT Filter 68 specification and combines a brighter orange contrast-enhancing lens with a protective fit-over frame. It is the only option in this listing specifically designed to be worn over many prescription eyeglasses.

  • Best for: contrast enhancement when you still want a relatively bright view
  • Allows approximately 64% of visible light through
  • Brightest lens option in this listing
  • Helps reduce glare and enhance contrast
  • Provides blue-blocking filtration
  • NoIR currently lists Filter 68 for contrast enhancement, computer use and several outdoor activities
  • Can be worn over corrective eyewear or on its own
  • Side shields help reduce light entering around the sides
  • Frame: U Universal Fit-Over

Think of the U68 as the brighter fit-over option for reducing glare and improving contrast while still allowing plenty of visible light through.

What’s the Difference Between the Two Filter 68 Options?

Both lenses add an orange tint and are designed to improve contrast, but the view through them will look different.

  • N68 Light Orange – 52% VLT: The orange tint will look deeper and the overall view will appear more shaded, similar to looking through a moderately tinted sunglass lens. It reduces more surrounding brightness while still allowing enough light for good visibility.
  • U68 Fit-Over – 64% VLT: The orange tint will look lighter and more transparent, so your surroundings will appear closer to their normal brightness. You still get the orange contrast effect, but without as much darkening of the scene.

In simple terms: choose 52% VLT if you want the world to look more shaded and glare softened more. Choose 64% VLT if you want the orange contrast effect while keeping your surroundings looking lighter and more naturally illuminated.

How Do Orange Contrast Glasses Help You See Details?

Orange filters change the balance of visible light reaching your eyes. This can help create greater separation between objects, edges and backgrounds, which may make details easier to distinguish when glare or washed-out lighting makes things blend together.

The amount of contrast enhancement and overall brightness you experience will depend on both the filter and the lighting conditions.

What Does VLT Mean?

VLT stands for Visible Light Transmission. It tells you approximately how much visible light passes through the lens.

  • Filter 60 – 49% VLT: About half of visible light passes through
  • Filter 63 – 4% VLT: Only about 4% passes through — extremely dark
  • N68 – 52% VLT: Slightly more than half of visible light passes through
  • U68 – 64% VLT: About two-thirds of visible light passes through

A lower VLT means a darker lens and stronger overall light reduction.

What Activities Are Orange Contrast Glasses Useful For?

The best activity depends on the amount of light filtering you need.

Filters 60 and N68 may be useful for:

  • Reading and detailed visual tasks
  • Hobbies and crafts where contrast is helpful
  • Walking and sightseeing outdoors
  • Gardening and yard work
  • Moderate outdoor glare
  • Situations where objects or backgrounds seem washed out

Filter 63 is better suited to:

  • Very bright outdoor environments
  • Intense sunlight
  • Bright reflected glare
  • Situations where ordinary sunglasses still feel too bright

U68 64% VLT may be useful for:

  • Computer and screen-related tasks when an orange filter is preferred
  • Reading and detailed visual work
  • Outdoor recreation in moderate light
  • Sports and activities where improved contrast is useful
  • Anyone who needs orange filtering while continuing to wear prescription eyeglasses underneath
Will Orange Lenses Make Everything Look Orange?

Yes. These are true orange specialty filters, so they will noticeably change the color of what you see.

The color shift is intentional and is part of how these filters increase contrast. If maintaining completely natural-looking colors is more important than contrast enhancement, a grey or grey-green filter may be a better choice.

Can I Wear These Over My Prescription Glasses?

Only the U68 Fit-Over is designed for that purpose.

The N60, N63 and legacy N68 use the same discontinued standalone N-Series frame and should be worn on their own.

The U68 Universal Fit-Over is designed to sit over many corrective eyeglasses. It can also be worn by itself if prescription eyewear is not needed.

What Size Are These Glasses?

N60, N63 and N68 N-Series Frame – Medium:

  • Overall Width: 139 mm — 5.47 in.
  • Overall Height: 53 mm — 2.09 in.
  • Temple Length: 135 mm — 5.31 in.

U68 Universal Fit-Over – Large:

  • Overall Width: 144 mm — 5.67 in.
  • Temple Length: 149 mm — 5.87 in.
  • Overall Height: 43 mm — 1.69 in.

When choosing the U68 to wear over corrective eyewear, measure the outside width and height of your prescription glasses. Your glasses should be smaller than the fit-over frame so there is enough room for a comfortable fit.

Which Orange Contrast Glasses Should I Choose?
  • Choose Filter 60 – 49% VLT if you want a medium-strength orange filter with good contrast and moderate light reduction.
  • Choose Filter 63 – 4% VLT if you need extremely strong brightness reduction along with orange contrast enhancement.
  • Choose N68 – 52% VLT if you want the discontinued lighter orange N-Series option with a brighter view.
  • Choose U68 – 64% VLT if you want the brightest orange option and need a frame that can fit over prescription eyeglasses.
