The Yellow lenses make it easier / quicker for your eye`s to adjust to light changes. i.e going into a building when it`s bright oustide.

They are supposed to also help with depth perception and judging distance which is the same thing really! I wear yellow glasses for airsoft and it seems to give a sharper image? Or at least the illusion of one anyway!

A few lads that ride bikes told me to get a yellow visor for riding on wet roads as it helps you see variations in the tarmac much better so ye can ride on the grippy bits and avoid the parts that would have ye on yer hole......never tried it tho

It's was a recent ish signal that came out that said guys on the front are not allowed to use yellows anymore, not sure the full reasonings though but if it's anything to do with being unable to see disturbed earth and wires I'd call the BS until it was proved really.
The real title for the yellow lenses is high contrast, low glare. Great at night on a wet road, they cut the glare off the road and most of the glare from car headlights, you also have a slight advantage of a higher contrast in shadows so you are more likely to see someone in the shadows.

Whenever I drive in normal or low light conditions I wear yellow lenses, if its sunny I stick the darked out ones in.
