The invention relates to spectacles, systems and methods for visibility enhancement, including by glare suppression. The spectacles, systems and methods for visibility enhancement includes spectacles and a spectacle lens having a liquid crystal cell (LC), the transmission (TR) of which may be varied by a suitable control and the liquid crystal cell (LC) designed so that the transmission (TR) of the liquid crystal cell (LC) may be switched between high and low transmission states. The liquid crystal cell (LC) includes a control for regulating the times of the state of high transmission (T.sub.on) of the liquid crystal cell (LC) such that the temporal position of the times of the high transmission state (T.sub.on) within a period of times of the high transmission state (T.sub.on) and times of the low transmission state (T.sub.off) may be altered continuously or discontinuously; and/or the duration of a period of times of the high transmission state (T.sub.on) and times of the low transmission state (T.sub.off) may be altered continuously or discontinuously. Such changes may be determined by a secret coding key.

A snow goggle device includes a composite lens and a spectacle frame fastened to a periphery of the composite lens. The composite lens includes a multi-layer sheet, a protective sheet spaced apart from the multi-layer sheet, and a combining layer connecting the multi-layer sheet and the protective sheet. The multi-layer sheet includes an anti-UV layer, an anti-fog layer, and a photochromic layer, the latter two of which are respectively disposed on an inner surface and an outer surface of the anti-UV layer. The photochromic layer has an adjustable transmittance that is changed when a UV light travels through the photochromic layer. The anti-UV layer can reflect a UV light to the photochromic layer. The multi-layer sheet, the protective sheet, and the combining layer jointly define an air layer that is configured to slow down the transference of an outer temperature of the protective sheet to the multi-layer sheet.
