These glasses (and contact lenses) allow
the wearer to see infrared, ultraviolet, and
many other electromagnetic bands which
we cannot see naturally.
The lenses act as spectroscopes, and
photochemically shift the light into our
"visible light" spectrum. Of course,
separate lenses are required
for spectrums
below or above ours, and for the extremes
(e.g., gamma).
WARNING: It is not recommended to
expose your eyes to Spectrolenses for
extended periods of time. Do not drive
while wearing Spectrolenses. If headaches
or nausea ensue, discontinue use of lenses
and contact a physician.

//photochemically shift the light// - how? |

Are "Spectrolenses" similar to the Rainbow Glasses sold in kids' science experiment and joke catalogs? [see Link] These glasses were used in a demonstration on how to build your own Spectroscope. |
