Eschenbach Solar Shield Yellow Fit Over Glasses – Small & Large

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

If you wear eyeglasses and want better contrast without making your view too dark, yellow fit-over glasses are a good choice. The Solar Shield Yellow filter fits over many regular eyeglasses and is designed to reduce glare while making edges, print and details easier to distinguish.

Yellow lenses filter portions of blue light and increase contrast while still allowing plenty of visible light through, making them especially useful when clarity and detail are more important than strong brightness reduction.

What Are Yellow Lenses Best For?

Yellow lenses are best for increasing contrast and helping details stand out while maintaining a relatively bright view.

The Yellow Solar Shield filter is especially useful for activities such as reading and watching television, as well as other situations where improved contrast may make visual details easier to see.

Choose Yellow if you:

• Want stronger contrast and more defined edges
• Prefer a lighter lens rather than a dark sunglass tint
• Want plenty of visible light to reach your eyes
• Use filtered eyewear for reading, television or other detailed visual tasks
• Have light sensitivity or glare sensitivity but find darker lenses too dim

Yellow lenses may be especially useful for activities such as:

• Reading
• Watching television
• Computer or screen use
• Crafts and hobbies that require seeing fine details
• Puzzles, cards and other close visual tasks
• Indoor or mixed-light situations where a dark lens would feel too dim

For light sensitivity, Yellow is most appropriate when you want some filtering along with better contrast without dramatically reducing overall brightness. For very bright outdoor conditions or stronger glare reduction, a darker Solar Shield lens, such as, amber, plum or polarized gray may be a better choice.

Will Yellow Lenses Make Everything Look Yellow?

The lens does add a yellow tint to what you see. The purpose of the tint is to filter certain wavelengths of light and increase contrast, so colors will not look exactly the same as they do through a clear lens. However, the added contrast can make edges, print and fine details stand out more clearly, which may make certain visual tasks easier.

What Does 72% Light Transmission Mean?

The Yellow Solar Shield filter allows approximately 72% of visible light through.

In simple terms, about 72% of the light around you still reaches your eyes while about 28% is filtered out.

That makes Yellow one of the lighter Solar Shield filters. It provides filtering and contrast enhancement without making your surroundings as dark as Gray, Plum or Amber.

Are Yellow Solar Shield Glasses Good for Driving?

No. The Yellow Solar Shield filter should not be used for driving.

The manufacturer specifically cautions against driving while wearing this yellow filter, so it is not recommended 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 Small size can also be worn on its own if you do not need to wear eyeglasses underneath.

Why Choose Solar Shield Fit-Overs Over Other Fit-Over Glasses?

Solar Shield fit-overs combine specialized filtering with protective top and side shields, helping reduce light that can enter around the edges of ordinary eyewear.

The Solar Shield design provides:

• Top and side coverage for additional protection from surrounding light
• 100% UVA/UVB protection
• Comfort-Flex bend-to-fit temples for a more customized fit
• Specialized absorptive lens filters designed for contrast and glare management
• A protective case included

The top and side shield design provides 40% more protection from the sun than ordinary sunglasses.
