Abstract
A light filtering transparent or semitransparent visor intended to prevent flash blindness and other hazards associated with the adverse affects associated with bright lights impacting the eyesight of occupants of a vehicle. In the certain embodiments, the visor comprises a larger, tinted body surrounding a smaller, much more heavily tinted body intended to filter the bright rays of sun to enable safe viewing of the sun through the filter. The entire apparatus is designed to be repositioned directly in the line of sight between the viewer and the sun.

An apparatus to block sunlight to eliminate use impairment while preserving a user's field of view comprising:
- a first portion having a horizontal width greater than a vertical height comprising a material allowing the passage of light;
- a second portion having a horizontal width greater than a vertical height comprising a material that allows less passage of light than said first portion;
- said second portion comprising a material having a luminous transmittance in a range of 0.00027% to 0.061%;
- said second portion being smaller than said first portion;
- said first portion being movably attached to a vehicle;
- said second portion being slideably attached to said first portion;
- wherein said user can track the position of the sun by sliding said second portion along a horizontal plane or a vertical plane of said first portion.
