There’s nothing like riding a motorcycle at night. But to do so safely, you need more than just skill; you also need the right gear. If you have prescription glasses, that means choosing motorcycle eyewear that won’t obscure your vision.
These aren’t always easy to find, especially if you’ve been struggling with blinding headlights, road glare, and other visual obstacles. But RX-Safety has a solution. Keep reading to learn more and to discover our best motorcycle glasses for night riding.
Motorcyclists face increased risk when driving in low-visibility conditions. These are most common at night, on foggy mornings, and in stormy weather. For example, foggy conditions are low contrast, which can strain your eyes and slow your reaction time. When it rains, you might see reflections in wet pavement that interfere with your processing speed.
Riding in these conditions becomes safer with the right eyewear. But that means going beyond standard options and choosing specialty lenses. These are specifically engineered to help motorcyclists overcome the problem of reduced visibility and can help you stay safe.
Halo Night Driving Lenses are a new lens technology designed to make riding in reduced visibility safer. We worked with Phillips Safety Products to create them, combining our decades of expertise in optical engineering and laser safety technology.
Halo Night Driving Lenses are available in Polycarbonate, High Index 1.67-inch plastic, and Trivex. These different materials impact the weight, thickness, and optical clarity of the glasses. However, the filtering performance will be the same no matter which you choose, so you can decide based on personal preference.
The filtering technology in Halo Lenses comes from proprietary synthetic dyes. We embed these into the lens material during casting, and they block 99% of harsh blue light.
The lenses feature a unique set of synthetic dyes that are specifically designed to target and filter harsh wavelengths. This blocks disruptive light spikes like modern car headlights and reduces glare. The result is a lens that improves nighttime driving comfort and safety by helping the eyes stay relaxed and focused.

Seeing better may sound nice, but is it really worth investing in prescription motorcycle glasses for night riding? The answer is, absolutely yes, if you want to prioritize safety. Low-visibility conditions slow reaction times, increasing your risk while riding. Halo Lenses solve that, so you and those closest to you have one less thing to worry about. Here are three examples showing how:
Improved Reaction Time and Visual Clarity
Halo Lenses improve visual clarity, which is a key factor in determining your reaction time. When you can see more easily, it takes less time to process and respond to new information on the road. The result is better decision-making in low-visibility conditions.
Comfort During Long Rides
Halo Lenses reduce pupil fatigue by filtering out harsh LED and HID blue light. You’ll notice less stress on your eyes and more relaxation, letting you enjoy longer, more comfortable rides in low-light conditions.
Overall Safety in Non-Daylight Conditions
Protecting your ability to see and react is important, especially if you regularly ride in low-light conditions.
Modern LED and HID headlights emit a significant amount of high-energy blue light, which creates intense glare. Halo Lenses feature a specialized lens that lets more reds and greens pass through. This enhances clarity without darkening your view. They also feature an amber tint, which boosts contrasts, making objects easier to see and improving your depth perception in poor and low light conditions.

Why do bikers wear glasses at night?
Bikers and motorcyclists wear glasses at night to help filter out intense light. Glare from the road, headlights, and other obstacles can obscure vision, reduce response times, and create safety issues. RX-Safety’s Halo Night Driving Glasses keep you in touch with your surroundings by filtering out unwanted light spikes.
Are there prescription glasses that help with night driving?
Yes, RX-Safety offers prescription lenses that help with night driving. They feature a proprietary dye embedded during the manufacturing process, which filters out unwanted light. You can add our Halo Night Driving Lenses to any frame we carry or put them in a frame you already own.
Do I need prescription motorcycle glasses for night riding?
If you already wear eyeglasses or think you may need them, you probably need a set of prescription night-riding motorcycle glasses. These keep you safe by filtering out intense light spikes and relaxing your eyes. They make sure you have the contrast you need to see well in rain, fog, and glare.
People with poor vision already struggle to see clearly while riding their motorcycles. You don’t want that problem to compound at night when you’re facing headlights, glare from the road, and other visual obstacles.
