The picture in the article is the new-for-2012 more attractive
spectacles. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GI_glasses> shows
some of the older versions that are relatively less appalling,
and describes some others that are more so.
As a civilian and bicyclist, I've usually picked the widest
lens size on the shelf, with metal frame, for the best side
vision.

Hm. Well, I find none of them appalling. Maybe I just prefer to
look at guys who make themselves more intelligent by wearing
serious glasses?
(My son, last time I saw him (he lives in New York now and it's
been a few years) was wearing little round Franz-Schubert-like
glasses, e.g.
http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fassets2.classicfm.com%2F2012%2F37%2Fyoung-schubert-1347455176-hero-promo-1.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.classicfm.com%2Fcomposers%2Fschubert%2F&docid=vCfy1ftqe_DPaM&tbnid=_gT5SAXWBv4FZM%3A&w=298&h=298&ved=0CAIQxiBqFQoTCKm265-QtsgCFUkqiAod-c0F2A&iact=c&ictx=1
which I don't care for much, but he's forty years old and can
wear what he likes.

I like wide lens sizes too, for the same reason, and it's getting
increasingly difficult for my ophthalmologist's office to find
any.

Try online services, once you get the prescription.
I've used zennioptical.com, with good results.

"At one time, they were officially designated as regulation prescription glasses, or RPGs." Aha, that helps explain the evolution of the derisive slang term (genteelly worded "Rut Prevention Glasses" in the Wikipedia article). > As a civilian and bicyclist, I've usually picked the widest > lens size on the shelf, with metal frame, for the best side > vision. I'd do that too, but past a certain size you can't slap fit-over sunglasses over them. And I like my eyesight. -- wds

Is the light-reactive material present in a layer on or in the lenses, or does it permeate the entire lens? I ask because some people's eyesight (mine included) is so twisted that the thickness of the lenses varies noticeably from point to point. If the lens material is evenly doped with the stuff then the degree of light-reducing would likewise vary depending on what area of the lens one was looking through. (Not that, at my financial status, I'm likely to spend extra big bucks for each pair of glasses I have to buy, as opposed to not doing so and just using fit-overs, but I'm curious.) -- wds

It's an outer surface coating, so lens thickness has no affect on it. Cheers - Jaimie -- They say the mind is the second thing to go. I can't remember the first.

I don't see how it can be. A surface coating always starts to peel off after a few years and I have never noticed anything like that. Of course, that does not mean I am right, but I would need further evidence. -- Robert Bannister Perth, Western Australia

The last time I had light-reactive glasses, they were only available in glass, which was very heavy for my wide face and strong prescription. The technology has advanced since then. I think I've seen a demo offer where you can get stick-on plastic demo reactive panels for your current glasses. This implies that it is a thin layer when you buy it for your real glasses. >(Not that, at my financial status, I'm likely to spend extra big >bucks for each pair of glasses I have to buy, as opposed to not >doing so and just using fit-overs, but I'm curious.) I had cataract surgery, which left me with good highway distance vision and I buy cheap dollar-mart readers for the close-up work. -- We are geeks. Resistance is voltage over current.

Here's an article from 2009 that discusses the state of the technology then. There's a newer one around that mentions specific brand names and their characteristics but I can't find it again.

It's kind of like Amber. I think "Amber-lite" would be a reasonable description.

The only books that I can recall that really did do something like Amber are the three by Elizabeth Willey, starting with _A Sorcerer and a Gentleman_.

The details are different, but it has a similar "a bunch of people with magic/superpowers traveling to different worlds with different magic systems" vibe going. Except that it's much more shallow and saturated with sophomoric humor.
