It is a popular misconception that the yellow lenses advertised for night driving enhance your vision at night.

Yellow tint gives the wearer the impression they are seeing better at night, when in fact the reverse is actually true. 

They are even hazardous, because they give the driver a feeling of seeing better, which no one has yet been able to explain. Studies have shown that they actually impair visual performance and retard glare recovery. 

While yellow lenses can be effective for low light, foggy or hazy daylight conditions, they are not effective against headlight glare and should not be worn at dusk or night.
