Tag Heuer Night Vision Glasses
Tag Heuer is releasing glasses that offer you night vision without scaring your family into thinking that their mini van has been hijacked for a covert ops mission. Their "Night Vision" glasses use light yellow lenses to enhance road contrast and improve your distance of view. Field tested at 24 Hours of LeMans, Tag Heuer is feeling charitable enough to provide them for your next vital midnight run to grab a "fourth meal." [jalopnik]

@discounteggroll: boolsheet. you can get prescription yellow (or any other color for that matter, even light-sensitive ones) sunglasses online direct from hong kong, just like your optometrist does. I got some yellow ones for night driving for $40 (minor astigmatism in one eye, and a bit of prism). doofusgumby

@Noobs-R-Us:
Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed that. I had some that fitted over my prescription glasses and acted as safety goggles too - I almost didn't realize that it was past the legal time of day to hunt because they worked so good! grok666

Okay, everyone here needs to learn a few things about sunglasses, particularly in reference to "cheap" vs. "expensive".
When you wear cheap sunglasses, the dark tint causes your pupils to become enlarged and allows them to absorb more UV. Obviously most quality sunglasses will have UV protection, but as the really cheap glasses often do not have a full UV A/B/C and blue light protection rating, they are doing more damage than good--you'd be better of not wearing sunglasses at all.
When you start to look at something like the above Tag Heuer glasses, which utilize flexible titanium arms coated in silicone rubber and quality lenses, you start to realize why something is the price it is.
Sure, the Tag's are probably 5x more expensive than they need to be, but that's business, and they need to make money to be able to spend money developing, running a race car team, etc... people that buy the product expect them to spend that money.
My disclaimer is that I own two pairs and they are the most lightweight and comfortable glasses I've ever owned. JoeKing

Just goes to prove that if you put a high enough price on something people will fall for it and think it's something new and innovative. BoinK

BTW, I own 3 pairs of Tags like this, with better lens though. What I really like is the design which has very flexible temples that hugs your face without pain. Noobs-R-Us

@HeyBeav: You beat me to the punch on the Bono comment...well done. "Hey Opera, do think these 2000 dollar sunglasses scream rich douchebag while still conveying a feeling that I give a sh*t about these poor people? Elevation! Weeeooooo!" Jimbuck

Ah, amber-lensed driving glasses, always classy. Glad to see the tat of the '80s once more retooled. TheAdAgency

Do they come in prescription lenses? I have a scar on my retina that causes me to have pretty bad nightvision and I'd be curious to see if these could help. Derrick
