I guess you would classify them as "50%" lenses; they are designed just for protecting healthy eyes from glare, and they do that real well.+About 15 yrs ago, I became less light sensitive and I wanted folks to see my eyes at meetings.

 Some MP patients (those who work with computer graphics, etc.), cannot use NoIRS because of color distortion. Zeiss lenses may make it possible for these patients to be able to have adequate eye protection and maintain necessary function. Some MP patients (those who work with computer graphics, etc.), cannot use NoIRS because of color distortion.

 After being made fun of by my family because of my "fit-over" sunglasses, I began the quest for something more trendy.  Unfortunately calls to Zeiss and Oakley found them only covering UV-A and UV-B, some covered UV-C wavelengths but not IR.  And the curved, wrap-arounds that could have a prescription placed in them weren't available anywhere that I looked.....until recently.  Now, you can get some real nice wrap-arounds from NOIR that have the ability to have prescription lenses placed inside them.  When you go to the Noir website, you won't find them immediately.  You need to go to the Noir laser site (link below) & you can find them as the # 34's and can have all the benefits of the traditional Noir wavelengths blocked + prescription lenses placed.  I believe they are a take-off on glacier glasses for mountain climbers.  My friends say I look pretty cool now! After being made fun of by my family because of my "fit-over" sunglasses, I began the quest for something more trendy.  Unfortunately calls to Zeiss and Oakley found them only covering UV-A and UV-B, some covered UV-C wavelengths but not IR.  And the curved, wrap-arounds that could have a prescription placed in them weren't available anywhere that I looked.....until recently.  Now, you can get some real nice wrap-arounds from NOIR that have the ability to have prescription lenses placed inside them.  When you go to the Noir website, you won't find them immediately.  You need to go to the Noir laser site (link below) & you can find them as the # 34's and can have all the benefits of the traditional Noir wavelengths blocked + prescription lenses placed.  I believe they are a take-off on glacier glasses for mountain climbers.  My friends say I look pretty cool now!

 By the way, if you are reading this Trevor, thank you for all your hard work and giving me my eyes back.  We were all worried that I would soon be on disability and not driving anymore.  Since I am not on your study and don't report anywhere, I thought you might like to know. By the way, if you are reading this Trevor, thank you for all your hard work and giving me my eyes back.  We were all worried that I would soon be on disability and not driving anymore.  Since I am not on your study and don't report anywhere, I thought you might like to know.
