Reducing Glare at night coating by HAVA DriveClear Lens

The Challenge

Glare is often described when someone having difficulty of seeing in bright light, such as direct sunlight or artificial light.
Market survey and Scientific Reports both indicates that perceived glare in traffic is linked in particular to LED and Xenon HID light sources as used in modern car lighting technology. Intense glare can put you at a risk by reducing the visibility of objects and sensitivity of the eye to contrast.

Glare also can be subjectively perceived as discomfort and irritation

Hava Optique eyecare professionals read out various research articles on glare experiments and found out that the blueish, high-energy part of the visible spectrum ( in particular in the 420 – 480 nm range ) using LED or Xenon H.I.D (High Intensity DIscharge) technology is linked to a glare effect perceived by drivers.

(Ross and Bradley, 1997)
