Many people get a slight blue tinted glasses that helps when using computers. If deer see the color blue much better than orange, how many hunt with prescription glasses that have a blue filter for working with computers?
Just a thought. I didn’t think about it until I noticed deer staring at me in a stand. Not sure if they saw me or the two blue reflectors I was weraing?

I have not seen any blue tinted glass's you refer to, but would think just being a blue tint would not be enough to alarm deer. If a person has to wear glass's while hunting, usually what happens is the deer notice a reflection caused by the glasses, when you turn your head, especially in sunlight. similar to reflections caused by binoculars.

The front lens of the scope can be fitted with a (honeycomb) optional filter so that the front lens does not reflect. some call it spyclass. in my opinion, a shooter can use any glasses as long as they are non-reflective. There are glasses that are intended for use in low light, for example Serengeti ... but they are more brown in color

Thanks, I typically try the same as you with similar results. Just wondering if anyone has notice any difference with the computer blue tint. I have noticed a few stares, in reality not likely more than the typical. Now I drop the glasses in a pocket asap after deer show for all the above reason.

Ive had 'em so close staring a hole thru me. I'd slowly close my eyes hoping when I opened them the deer would have taken its eye off me. Ha! That was back when I was much younger and got really excited when a deer would get within killin range. I'd be standing with my vert bow in my hands with my fingers on the string waiting to draw. I think every muscle in my body would tense up when a deer did that. Now...I just sit and look back at em to see what they want to do cause I usually dont have any intentions of killing it. Man! How Ive changed over the years.:)

Lasik took my glasses away. No more steaming up glasses during early bowseason and no more glaring eyes from the stand.:)
