+ | ===== Alternatives to NoIRs when in artificial light only ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Eyes can be adequately protected indoors by regular sunglasses if they have all of the following characteristics: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * provides 8% to 12% total visible light transmission (or blocks 88-92% of the light) | ||
+ | * dark amber lenses | ||
+ | * close-fitting | ||
+ | |||
+ | The amber colored lens causes high contrast in vision because is also filters most blue light. The amber lens also distorts colors, but is essential to adequately block artificial light. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If style is a major concern for inside use, very dark amber sunglasses that wrap around to protect the sides can be used. Any light that seeps in from the top can be blocked with a cap if work/school dress code allows. | ||

+ | ===== Patient experience ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | The other day I called Jim Hidalgo, and he's very knowledgeable about glasses. Now I got myself some funky glasses: Hidalgo sunglasses for outside (0% IR, 1%UVA, 8% visible light), with option for magnetic clip-ons if it gets too bright out there, and Bolle 100 for inside. | ||

+ | If you go out and your family still wants to not be seen with you, let them walk and sit separately from you and they may soon realise your health is more important than what other people think. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Remind them that they can put up with you looking funny for a couple of years, or they can put up with you being sicker and sicker until you die. | ||

+ | |||
+ | *Legacy content | ||
+ | * http:// | ||
+ | * The Alternatives to NoIRs topic states that amber UV-blocking regular sunglasses are OK indoors...but they may not be if there is halogen lighting, which emits IR. The entire topic, in various articles, of indoor light types, lux, glasses options, etc. should be simplified and streamlined. --- //Joe Trunk 2008/12/19 23:32// | ||
