Since wearing military issue night vision goggles and driving around with the lights off is highly illegal, watchmaker Tag Heuer has created its Night Vision glasses.
The posh glasses have been designed specifically for drivers and correct the low-light short-sightedness that everyone endures from “twilight to sunrise”. The specs sport titanium frames in both Wide and Panorama shapes with anti-slip elastomere arms. The company says:
“The pale yellow lenses offer constant clear, sharp vision with a very high light transmission rate in order to contrast dark blue and green surroundings without changing colour perception. The special ophthalmic lenses offer an anti-reflective treatment, which reduces glare and offers more accurate sight.”
It might sound like bunkum but these glasses are already being sported by F1 and Indianapolis 500 drivers, and you can expect Le Mans drivers to be queuing up too. The key difference is that they’ll get theirs for free and you won’t. No price yet but they’re shipping soon. -Martin Lynch

My uncle had a pair like these back in the 80's for driving at night, but still they are nice :D
How Much do these glasses cost?
Like anything Kool and exported from Europe, the price will probably rip through your wallet like and F1 racer and like the wise man said, "They will get theirs free cause you're paying way too much for yours".
