Anyone dabble with different types of sun glasses to see the tree better as the light changes? If so are they available in prescription lenses?

Drew , I spent some time with my eye doctor and a practice tree years ago ,before LED lights were used and came up with a blue reflective, but not mirrored lens coating that seemed to be better than others.
LED lamps negated the gain I saw with that lens coating, but the lights stayed relatively consistent thru the day The one thing you must watch for is that some Blue Blocker glasses filter out the blue circle LED staging lamps used at National events , making seeing the staging lamps almost impossible.

Hey Tom.
Thanks for the input. I recently updated my regular prescription glasses which are Transition lenses. This pair gets much darker in the bright sun compared to the pair I had previously. Kinda wonder if they get too dark and don't see the flash as quickly as my previous pair. Or maybe I just had a bad day and trying to blame it on something.

I don't think I'd trust the transitions for racing .
just one more variable we don't need .

x2. I've never raced with sunglasses or even a tinted helmet shield. I'll wear them in the pits, but always leave them in the trailer when I head to the lanes so my eyes have time to adjust.
