It's day 2 for me.
Have you ever watched a colorized black & white movie? It's a lot like that.
I get the greatest benefit at dawn and dusk, the times that I do my commuting. The blue gray seems to have better clarity between road and sky.
The reason I got them in the first place is the damned HID headlights that become more common every day. 90% of all the headlights in Metro Detroit appear the same shade of amber and are not very offensive. ~2% of the total, the mildly offensive ones appear a canary yellow. ~8% are the most offensive that appear a neon green color. These are the ones that momentarily blind you when unfiltered.
Interestingly, I've read an article about the ineffectiveness of amber driving glasses. From a totally unscientific users perspective I beg to differ. I experience less eyestrain from my daily four hours of commute. I believe that the reduced eyestrain makes me a more alert driver, if that's at all possible. The point of view of the article seems to be that anything that reduces the amount of light reaching your eye during night driving is detrimental, even dangerous. By this reasoning the best light for driving would be on the surface of the sun, until you burst into flames, of course.
The analogy that comes to mind for me is the cop's flashlight trained in your eyes. (Thanks, by the way.) What can you see? Nothing but glare.
My recommendation: You might like them. I do.
Any other opinions? =^..^=
