Coloured Lenses

The colour of your sunglasses lenses has a subtle effect on your vision.

Grey, smoke and grey-green tinted lenses are great for bright sunny days and are the most common lens colour you’ll find. They work to convey all of the colours that you see through them whilst not changing the actual value of the colours. They are dark enough to provide sufficient protection from the effects of glare, but are still light enough to ensure that your vision is not impaired.

Lenses with rose tints help to block blue light, which improves contrast by offering maximum glare and light protection. They can be very soothing to the eyes as they offer high contrast, which can improve such things as road visibility. Because of this, many people have found rose tinted lenses are the most comfortable for the longest periods of time.

Brown shades work very well to block the blue light that you can experience on a cloudy day through diffused light. They can improve both depth perception and contrast, making them a good all-rounder in changeable weather conditions.

Lenses with yellow or amber tints are great for driving in low light or overcast conditions as they offer maximum sight performance through a high intensity tint.

Lenses with blue tints can absorb the light and reduce glare in hazy sunshine.
