Although I haven't seen a pair for decades now, I wonder if very many folks are still rocking the Blu Blockers we used to see all the time on television commercials?

I used to wear those and I loved em. But many people say they make it more difficult to see at night, but it seems to me that bright lights in your eyes do too! So I liked em.

Does anyone know of a type of glasses that will cut glare, but not affect colors (at least not a lot)? I really dislike sunglasses, but figure I should use something to eliminate eye fatigue.

I don't know if there's such a thing, but I can tell you for over 10 years I've used Polarized sunglasses for driving (previous life was local delivery driver) and lots of outdoor stuff (I live in Florida). My favorites are wrap around Spyders which you can sometimes find in the fishing section of Walmart for about $15. There are other brands just as good. I got these after blowing $36 on "fishing" sunglasses that had the same features.

Also, many fishing guys swear by a brand that sounds suspiciously like Costs a Lot More. Those...well, never mind. I hope this helps.

Not had any truck experience yet but I wear the Spiderwire or Berkley brands of polarized fishing glasses from Wal-Mart for just about anything from day driving or motorcycle riding to boating and fishing. As you can imagine the pavement produces a really bad glare when on a bike and well we all know how bad water is. The good thing is I don't notice any real changes in color. When I ride at night I wear yellow safety glasses much like you wear for shooting and they work great when the headlights hit you at almost directly eye level, they also help when driving as well and aren't so dark you cant see. Hope this helps some.
