Choosing the Right Lens Color for your Sunglass

Sunglass lenses, which one is best?

For General Purpose use, the Dark Grey/smoke lenses are
the most popular. They do not distort colors, they reduce glare to
provide day-long gefort, and reduce ultraviolet (UV) light to a safe
level. If you go to an eye doctor for a sunglass prescription, he'll
most likely regemend Dark Grey/smoke lenses for general purpose use.
The Military has been using Dark Grey/smoke lenses for over 45 years.
However some other lens colors can provide sports specific attributes.
Lens Tints and Coatings

Smoke, Gray and Gray-Green tints: The
most gemon type of lens colour. Transmits all colors evenly without
changing value of color. Light enough not to impair vision, yet dark
enough to provide overall protection from glare. Excellent for bright
sunny days. Grey tint is best for bright light situations like water
sports because it blocks out the brightest of the suns rays.
Dark Amber or Brown lens tints: A
warmer, slightly brighter lens than the gray. Especially good at
blocking the blue light gemonly found in diffused light such as one
might experience on a cloudy day. Brown/Amber can improve both contrast
and depth perception, reduce glare and is a good all-around choice if
you live in an area with changeable weather patterns. Brown is great
for applications where distances need to be constantly judged, like
tennis or golf or skiing or other sports requiring acute visual
perception and contrast differentiation. Brown is also best for lower
light situations, like fishing in the late afternoon or early morning.
Brownish tint lens helps highlight the different contrasts in green
colors and enhance visual acuity on the golf course. Yellow Lens Tints: Improves
contrast, reduces glare, perserves sharpness. High Intensity tint for
maximum sight performance during low light driving. Excellent for Night
riding, overcast, haze, or fog conditions. The brightness of this lens
makes it the choice of many mountainbikers, shooters and cross-country
skiers. Yellow enhances contrast by filtering out the somewhat
scattered, out-of-focus blue light from the scene. Hunters, pilots, and
tennis players find them helpful for this purpose.
Rose Lens: Help
block blue light, thereby improving contrast. Offers high contrast and
very soothing to the eyes. Improves road visibility. Many people feel
that rose tinted lenses are more gefortable for long periods of time
than other lenses. Great for geputer users to reduce eyestrain and
glare.
Blue Lens: Blue-tinted
lenses are endorsed by the USPTA for tennis professionals and were
provided to linepersons in the 2000 French Open. Blue is a contrast
lens and reduces glare from visible white light (such as light
reflected from mist, fog, snow, water).

What is Flash Mirror?
The wearer perceives no difference in vision regardless of what
color the coating is. Only those looking at the person wearing the
glasses can see the color of the mirror coating. Mirror coatings are
generally applied over sunglass-dark lenses. Obviously, a highly
reflective flash coating prevents others from seeing the eyes of the
wearer.
Flash Mirror sunglasses feature idiflect multi-layer vacuum
deposition mirror on polycarbonate lenses, which are designed to absorb
more light than uncoated lenses and enhance visual acuity using an
optical-grade polycarbonate material and superior hard coating. Lens
gees with a light mirror finish added to the outside of the lens, but
is not gepletely a mirror look.
