I would recommend you get gray colored polarized lenses. The reason fo
gray is
that it won't screw up how you see colors, like purple and amber lenses
will.
The polarization cuts glare, which is your biggest problem. You can
specify a
lighter shade as well. I have bi-focal polarized lenses and I got them a
shade
that is dark enough to prevent eye fatigue, yet light enough that I can
easily
read a chart without taking them off.

Response is slowed due to the compensation afforded by the automatic tint.

It's not a permanent situation. It takes a month or six to get the reflex
back.

Sailing sunglasses... polarized.. any tint... mirror finish to reflect back
the extra light from the waves. Get the leather side cups.....

In glass (not recommended) these are called Photogray or Photobrown Extras.
In hard resin, they are known as Transitions. They may get darker than you
prefer. Serenghetti makes a number of excellent lenses for sailors. My
favorite is their vermillion polarizer. Not too dark and a great polarizer.
Check it out. Oh, and by the way, it may be glass, so don't count on them
to be safety-type lenses.

Hogwash. At the very most one can experience an increased sense of
photophobia with prolonged dark lens wear, but pupillary responses, either
magnitude or reponse time, are unaffected by any type of sun lens, including
the photochromics.

It's not a permanent situation. It takes a month or six to get the reflex
back.


You need to stop reading the National Inquirer.

I was in agreement until you got to the mirrored F1. Mirrors do reflect a
lot of light, especially if they are quality mirrors, but they also make
lenses very dark, AND they generally tend to distort the image quality
considerably. Mirrors are generally not thought well of by the legitimate
ophthalmic lens industry or by eye care practitioners. Leather side cups
are ideal if one's lenses are small and very dark, such as with high
altitude expedition glasses, where UV is brutal and must be blocked to
prevent snow blindness (solar keratitis, or UV burns of the cornea). Not
practical or necessary on a boat, unless in the tropics. Katy ain't.

Bob Crantz April 6th 05 02:49 PM

Mooron is right. It's called long term phototropic hysteresis. It follows
the same principles as treating Raynaud's syndrome with conditioned cold
water immersion. The cross over point between the scotopic and photopic
intensity-subjective brightness curve and the associated Weber ratio are no
longer determined solely by the ambient irradiance, but rather by the time
varied filtered irradiance with both spectral and intensity changes not
natural to the eye. The ion channels that control the dynamic range of the
eye's sensitivity to intensity become clogged with unrecombined ions. Diet
can control this condition.

Do you see the light?!

Bob Crantz, Amen!

Joe has installed the same type of flourescent lights that deli meat cases

What's good for shooting is not so good for sailing. Yellow and brown

lenses
increase daytime contrast, but make certain colors invisible. When

sailing, it's
nice to be able to see EVERYTHING, and in the correct colors. It's also a

more pleasant if part of the reason you go sailing is to enjoy the sights.

I have HID, Fiber Optic, LED, and various types of incandesent

If it were true, there would be a mad rush to sell yellow glasses to all of

tourists, once they get a load of the yellow POS at anchor in it's own
toilet, turn around and leave the area, in some cases leaving Florida
altogether, never to return.

Bob Crantz April 7th 05 01:24 AM

You're a moron Joe.You are even too ignorant to burn in hell. The lights
that improve the appearance of meat are indeed of the flourescent variety
and to add even more insult, they are known as "Butcher" lights. Here's an
excerpt for you :

"How do PROMOLUX lamps differ from red butcher lamps?

Several years ago certain lamps used for meat display were dubbed "meat
lamps" because they were so strong in red color that consumer groups called
it obvious distortion and misrepresentation. These lamps would only be used
for meat, as they would cast an unwelcome red color on all types of
perishable merchandise placed beneath them. Many State Health departments
banned the use of red lamps, red colored display case interiors, red
reflectors and lamp covers in meat displays. PROMOLUX is approved in writing
by health officials for applications such as meat display lighting.

Today dark colors such as deep red and blue are ignored for their lack of
brightness by manufacturers of general purpose lamps. As everyone learns in
school, the three primary colors (red, blue yellow) are required in order to
make other shades of color. PROMOLUX lamps are designed with a balance of
the primary colors to achieve a natural appearance in all merchandise such
as meat, deli, seafood, produce, bakery, floral, etc. PROMOLUX does not
distort or sacrifice any one color over others and thus gains approval for
all types of food display.

PROMOLUX naturally shows true red color, but will also increase the contrast
of any other color such as white, blue, green, orange, etc. It is very
significant that PROMOLUX provides excellent color rendering of white. This
provides for a fresh appearance of meat due to the stark contrast of white
fat content combined with the red color of the meat. Other lights tend to
make the fat look yellowish-orange which gives meat an unpleasant and
unfresh appearance.

[ Back to Top of FAQ ]
"

For you they are called homolux lights.
