Can Night Vision Glasses Really Help You See at Night While Driving? Night vision glasses can indeed help you see at night. Types of night vision glasses: Infrared night vision glasses are divided into two types: active and passive. Active night vision glasses emit a beam of infrared light that reflects off objects and returns, similar to a flashlight. Passive night vision glasses amplify the infrared light emitted by objects themselves and convert it into visible light. Therefore, without an infrared source (most heat-producing objects can serve as infrared sources, such as living beings, vehicles, flames, etc.), passive infrared night vision glasses cannot see anything. Features of night vision glasses: Night vision technology is a photoelectric technology that enables nighttime observation with the help of electro-optical imaging devices. Night vision technology includes two aspects: low-light night vision and infrared night vision. Low-light night vision technology, also known as image enhancement technology, uses night vision glasses with image intensifier tubes to enhance faint images illuminated by ambient night light for observation, which is a type of photoelectric imaging technology.
