Default RE: Glasses and glare?

Go to a fabric or hobby shop. Find some DARK-COLOR nylon or polyester FINE MESH CLOTH. Use the PLAIN WEAVE. Plain weave strands have an aperture (opening). Check the mesh size by pulling the cloth tight against your glasses. You should be able to see through the mesh with only a very slight shading of light, and in some cases, none at all.



Also buy about 24 inches of ½" wide elastic band.


1. Cut out a " Lone Ranger" type mask without the eyeholes.
2. Tie or sew the elastic band to one side of the mask.
3. Hold the mask against your glasses, pull the elastic around your head, and size the elastic so that mask is pulled tight against your glasses. Mark the elastic.
4. Tie or sew remaining end of elastic to mask.

The mesh pulled against your glasses works just like taking a picture through a screen, or looking through a screen with binos, while standing close. You will not see the mesh. You might have very slight shading at first, but if you concentrate on your pin and target, you eventually will not notice that the mesh is on.

If the mesh bothers you, cut some horizontal slits in the mesh. This should help.

Cuts the glare and hides your eyes.
