Two-thirds of motorists are dazzled by oncoming headlights and the fashion for high intensity discharge lamps and LED continues apace. Patients are increasingly looking for visual protection when driving.
Did you know that 40% of accidents occur at night, even though we only spend 25% of our driving time at night? A survey by the EyeCare Trust showed that 31% of people avoided night-time driving because of safety concerns. The RAC found that 65% of motorists are regularly dazzled by oncoming headlights, whilst 58% of motorists believe they are at risk of having an accident due to the glare. The majority of drivers felt it took up to 5 seconds before they could see clearly again.
Hoya EnRoute – a new lens dedicated to driving
Hoya Enroute Driving Lenses
They combine a premium lens (both single vision and varifocal are available) with a specially developed Glare Filter and an optional Contrast-Enhancing Filter. This reduces reflections and glare from new brighter LED and Xenon headlights and helps with night driving, even in poor light and bad weather.
These lenses provide:
Significant reduction of reflections and uncomfortable glare from oncoming traffic;
Improved contrast and brightness perception in low-light conditions, fog and rain;
Clear, unimpaired vision in the far distance, of the dashboard and in mirror;
Smooth, fast switching of focus between distances.
There is also a Pro version developed specially for professional drivers, or those who want additional support and a more relaxing driving experience.
The Pro version offers all the benefits of EnRoute and adds:
A contrast-enhancing filter for improved contrast and colour perception, and even better glare reduction;
A lens design that considers both the wearer’s vision and viewing distance to the dashboard, for a natural, relaxed driving posture.
