Driving lenses: Eye comfort behind the wheel

Hoya

EnRoute

Reaction times and visual comfort provide the starting point for Hoya’s offering in the driving lens arena. It says that reaction times are linked to vision and EnRoute is designed specifically to minimise stress placed on the visual system.

The lens employs a glare filter which, like other driving lenses, cuts light in the blue spectrum, reducing light scatter and distracting glare from the dashboard, streetlights and the headlights of oncoming traffic. At the same time, EnRoute enhances the transmittance of necessary light, improving contrast and brightness perception. The result, says Hoya, is more comfortable, relaxed vision even in low-light, bad weather and other stressful driving situations.
