I'm trying to work around a problem that may apply only to a few of us. I've seen one other skier here comment on it.
In dense cloud I see blotches in my vision that greatly interfere with seeing what little there can be seen. Rose tint lenses are the worst for me with big fairly dense rose color blotches in my vision. Yellow lenses show smaller and less dense blotches, but they're still there. I've seen this with Oakley Prizm and Smith ChromaPop. My ophthalmologist says that it is an artifact from my low level macular degeneration--no problem except maybe skiing in that fog. I'm not sure this is correct, but I don't have a better idea. Anyone else working with these blotches on a very foggy day?
A couple of years ago a buddy let my try his Spy goggles with their Happy green lens on a cloudy day. The contrast was excellent, and I didn't really get to try them in fog for the blotch effect. Green is pretty much opposite red on the color wheel, so if yellow causes me less problem than rose, maybe green will be even better. Spy, a Bollé brand, will have their latest and greatest technology, Happy Boost out soon (claims deeper colors while maintaining white balance, and still great contrast, https://www.spyoptic.com/happy-boost ) Stuck for other ideas, I may give their Happy Boost Low Light Gray Green lens a try.
