Our Story

As a new father of two young children, I found myself frequently making a long night-time drive home along US 101 after a day of fun activities at the grandparents’ house. Driving carefully with the children fast asleep, I found the would-be peaceful drive frustratingly uncomfortable due to the debilitatingly bright headlights of other cars on the highway. As a serial entrepreneur and inventor of functional eyewear, I couldn’t help but start thinking about the problem. Glare is a multi-factor vision issue caused by the color and intensity of light, as well as and the position of glare sources within our field of vision. By examining the vector space of glare from the driver’s point of view,I envisioned a new kind of lens with multiple glare blocking zones optimized independently for each eye, enabling superior glare mitigation without compromising visibility. The result is the NightBirds eyewear brand and patent-pending lens technology. I hope that you will enjoy using this product as much as I do. I’d love to hear your story.
