NoIR Wraparound Glasses Plum Medium Dark Tint | Glaucoma | Filter 81- 19% VLT

Does glaucoma make bright outdoor light or glare uncomfortable?

These glaucoma sunglasses use a medium-dark plum lens with 19% VLT, providing substantial brightness reduction for bright outdoor conditions.

These glaucoma glasses are not only helpful for glaucoma but can also be helpful for diabetic retinopathy, corneal pathology, migraines, and glare sensitivity. The wraparound design also helps reduce light entering from the sides.

Why choose a plum lens instead of gray?

Gray lenses mainly reduce overall brightness while keeping colors more neutral.

A plum filter changes the balance of light reaching the eyes and may be preferred by people who are bothered by glare, light sensitivity, or reduced contrast.

The color shift the glaucoma glasses have is what helps with the glare, light sensitivity and reduced contrast.

How dark is Filter 81?

Filter 81 is a medium-dark plum tint with 19% VLT.

That means the lens allows approximately 19% of visible light through, making it suitable for bright outdoor light and glare without being in NoIR’s extra-dark range.

Who might find Filter 81 helpful?

Filter 81 may be useful for people experiencing:

• Glaucoma-related glare or light sensitivity
• Diabetic retinopathy
• Corneal conditions
• Migraine-related light sensitivity
• General sensitivity to bright outdoor glare

These filtered sunglasses are intended for glare reduction and visual comfort and do not treat the underlying eye condition.

What activities are these good for?

The 19% VLT plum lens is well suited to bright outdoor conditions and activities such as golf, tennis, running, walking, snow activities, outdoor events, travel, and everyday errands.

Are these fit-over glasses?

No. These are wraparound glaucoma sunglasses designed to be worn directly on the face rather than over prescription eyeglasses.

Available frame styles:

Medium – Frame 35
Medium – Frame 52
Medium – Frame 73 – Tortoise Shell
Large – Frame 45

Can Filter 81 be used for driving?

Because these glaucoma sunglasses have a relatively dark 19% VLT plum lens and changes color perception, it should only be considered for daytime driving if colors, traffic signals, signs, and road details remain easy to distinguish.

Not for night driving.
