Sunglass Lens Tint Spice things up by choosing a lens color to match the frame or to enhance your vision. All sunglass lenses are tinted to cut down on overall brightness and enhance terrain definition.

Your choice of tint colors affect your vision by influencing:
  • How much visible light reaches your eyes
  • How well you see other colors
  • How well you see contrasts
For example, the best sunglass tint for volleyball on a sunny day at the beach will likely be too dark for golfing on an overcast or partly cloudy day.

While this guide offers "tried-and-true" tint solutions recommended by many eyecare professionals, don't be afraid to experiment with lens colors and densities. Sometimes the best tints for optimizing performance are a matter of personal preference.

However, Polarized Lenses are by far better than just a lens tint. Most in the optical field would not wear sunglasses without the lenses being Polarized. In rare cases Polarized Lenses would not be the ideal choice, for instance a pilot is not allowed to wear Polarized Lenses because there might be certain gauges in a cockpit that would not be seen properly through polarized lenses.

Here's are some advantages to certain colors and the best sport for each color:
