When you buy eyeglasses or sunglasses, you can choose to enhance your vision with a color tinted lens. Tinted lenses can reduce glare when driving and unlike transition lenses, the color of a tinted lens will remain the same at all times. Lighter tints like pink are used for fashion purposes, whereas darker tints such as grey or brown can be used to provide sunglass protection. Tinted lenses are ideal for athletes, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who leads an active lifestyle.
Additional Lens Options
We also offer a lens color matching service where your new prescription lenses matches the original color of the designer sunglasses lens.

Brown & Gray
Enhances contrast and is recommended for bright conditions. Grey is ideal for water sports where there is glare. Brown gives the wearer a better contrast between colors.
