In dives this is less than a tenth of a second for 5 feet thus eyesight is important. It takes a couple seconds for eyes to dialate back to normal. Too late. We are using the large sunglasses, silver mirrored by Zurichsunglasses.com or Zurichsunglass.com. Cannot remember the exact address. They are amazing. For general aviation flying I am using prescription glasses with Brown no 2 tint. These glasses allow me to see steam gauges and glass screens like the Micro Encoder and Vision Microsystem lcd screens without difficulty. Polaroid glasses cause difficulty with some of these screens and should not be used for that reason. Bob Smiley
