Do glasses with clear lenses exist that block natural light?

[mcfofo]

I play percussion and have been having trouble reading my music recently because the lights of wherever I'm playing will reflect off of the black ink on the sheet music and bounce into my eyes, semi-blinding me. It's been making it really hard for me to play because of it, so I'm looking for sunglasses that look enough like standard prescription glasses for me to wear in public and during concerts/rehearsals, but will have just enough light protection to keep the light glare from the notes out of my eyes. Does such a thing exist?
Thanks!

Thanks everyone- I found computer glasses that will filter out some of the light that's been bothering me reflecting off of my sheet music. Thanks for all the help!

Eliminating glare is a matter of using "polarized" lenses, which filter out the component of light that's parallel to a certain direction.

So, yr goal would be to find the LEAST dark polarized lens that you can find.

In a perfect unicorn world, you would be looking for a CLEAR polarized lens, but, that's physically impossible.
Remember -- polarization works by REMOVING A FRACTION of the light entering the lens! So, inevitably, any polarized lens WILL have at least *some* significant sunglass effect.

BETTER IDEA:

Can you get an E-ink reader (like Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite), scan the music into PDF's, and then just view them on the e-ink reader?

E-ink readers should be glare-proof -- indeed, that's the whole point of their existence -- and relatively cheap, too ($119 for the Paperwhite).
And you should be able to just swipe swipe swipe, which will also get rid of the awkwardness of page-turning.
Win win.

Can you do that?

Yes they do ! My boyfriend has a pair he loves them ! They are called transition lenses !

You'd be after clear polarized glasses. I don't know how easily available they are or how well they work. But they're designed to block out glare or light reflections from particular angles without blocking the majority of overall light.

"Clear polarized" is a physical impossibility. Literally can't exist.

Remember, polarization is the *removal* of the component of light in X direction. Removal of any light = not clear.

@redeyemindtricks Haha, yeah... I suspected they were probably too good to be true. I've seen people on ebay selling clear glasses and claiming they have 'polarization properties', lol.

"polarization properties" baha

It's weird that they'd do that, considering how easy it is for buyers to get all their money back by filing a claim. Ebay is pretty heavily slanted toward buyers, so, frankly I'm surprised.
