Many people have this problem when driving: they feel tired when driving in the sunlight; Driving at night is often blinded by sudden strong light, and so on. So, wearing a pair of glasses that suit oneself is essential. If you choose the wrong sunglasses, not only will the sun shine blind, but in serious cases, it can also lead to traffic accidents. Although glasses are small, there are many misunderstandings inside.
Misconception 1: The darker the color, the better
Many people assume that the darker the color, the better the UV protection function. In fact, the function of sunglasses to filter ultraviolet rays is only related to the film they are coated with, and the darker the color, the better. Because sunglasses and lenses can cause a delay in the transmission of signals from the optic nerve, resulting in distorted speed perception and causing drivers wearing sunglasses to make incorrect judgments. A survey shows that when cars and motorcycles move forward at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, dark colored sunglasses can extend the driver's reaction to the situation by 100 milliseconds, thereby adding a 2.2 meter emergency braking interval.
Misconception 2: Polarizing lenses are the most suitable
Many drivers like to wear polarizers. Indeed, polarizers can reduce strong light, eliminate glare, and make the line of sight naturally soft. However, in fact, polarizers are more suitable for environments with large areas of reflection such as fishing and skiing. Sometimes, drivers have to face scenes with dim light such as tunnels, which can easily make people suddenly appear dark. In addition, polarizers can make the color of LCD screens and LED traffic lights lighter. Therefore, when choosing polarizing lenses, it is best to choose high-quality optical lenses, and when passing through tunnels, it is best to remove the glasses in advance and blink more.
Misconception 3: The color of sunglasses is too fancy
Fashionable young people may have sunglasses in various colors, which may look good but are not suitable for use while driving. For example, pink and purple lenses can change color and spectrum. Actually, it's best to use gray lenses for sunglasses because they won't change the basic color spectrum. Next is dark green. Brown and yellow lenses have the effect of improving brightness and are more suitable for environments with high fog and dust.
Misconception 4: Not wearing myopia glasses
Some drivers have mild myopia, and it is not a problem to drive without wearing glasses. But once you put on sunglasses, the problem arises: your eyes are more prone to fatigue, and your vision will also decline, just like driving at night can affect your vision. So, drivers with mild myopia have no problem driving normally. If they need to wear sunglasses, they must be equipped with lenses with myopia degree. Jingho reminds you that driving safety is the most important. Summer is here, wearing color changing lenses makes the indoor environment transparent and the outdoor environment deepened. There is no need to switch back and forth between the indoor and outdoor areas, making it comfortable, convenient, and eye friendly!
