Can I just say it was pretty trippy wearing all of your prescriptions! I wonder if anybody has looked through so many different ones in such a short space of time before!? I was spaced out for a while afterwards 😂

Hi Robert. I've only discovered your channel in the last couple of days but I'm hooked. It's wonderful to find someone so passionate about all things 'spectacles'..... You've certainly 'opened my eyes' to the many aspects of coatings, tints, gradients, frames and all things to do with glasses. Something many of us take for granted and are not fully aware of just what we can ask our optometrist to do in order to enhance our experience and style. Thank you again.

Man, videos like this one are so helpful to customers who need to understand optical technologies, and how you can create personal style choices. You've taught me a lot and can't wait to try on my new glasses. Bravo Robert!

Amazing video and content! I've learnt so much over these last days going through many of your videos. Thanks for educating us on doing the best possible purchases for our eyes 🙌🏼😎

You are so good at this. I've learned a lot about what's available outside the mainstream retail stream! I'm sure most of these specs are out of my league, but maybe it's something to save for as a true statement piece down the road. Those Porsche aviators are INCREDIBLE.

I honestly see better with non polarised orange/red warm coloured amber tint. It contrasts every colour beautifully, making everything stand out and making everything look like it is under a warm sunset. Really useful while driving in both bright and overcast conditions.

Awesome!! Loved it!!!❤😊

I really appreciate your videos. After subscribing & watching your videos in 2022, I bought my first tinted sunglasses online.

Great video. Totally agree that photochromic lenses is the way forward. For sure! Ideally with some mirror. The only thing that I don't like about them is that they don't get as dark when wearing a hat.

u have so many good design of eyeglasses. I love all of it

Amazing as always Rob! I just love Agnes’ Cartiers! And I really like those RLR Dash frames….

Very informative. Thank you Robert.😊

Thank you Robert, I love the gradient tint, just on the shape you got to work on, thank you, my other frames are ready to be shipped, the jmm frames.

I like the fixed tint to change the look and the mood. Definitely adds style and shows that you are different from the norm when you step into the room. Picking up some JMM with an amethyst(similar to sweet violet) tint on black acetate around 40%

I totally agree with you on the amber tint, it's so stylish and luxurious and so soft on the eyes. I have a pair of Moscots made of chunky acetate. Both the frame and the gradient lens are exactly this tint of amber . You won't believe how many people asked me where I got them, not counting the curious glanses from strangers I get every time I put them on. On a more sour note though, most people get taken aback when I tell them how much I paid for them! Still, they are definitely a jewel in my collection.

Thanks for making us learn colors! 🫶🙏

Thank you for going over those

I love love your videos!!

Magma orange is my favourite.

You guys have been busy! These are all absolutely stunning. But I must say that magma orange is something else. Of course, no bias at all! 😜

Robert, you're great. Loved the video, very informative. Love the Cartier on your wrist as well. Cheers.

I really want to try that sweet violet tint at my appointment! I would never have thought of that colour for a tint and was thinking of something more obvious. Still haven't decided on which Reykjavik Eyes frame to pair it with.

Absolutely great video,thank you! Tints are my big passion as well! Could you maybe do a video describing the feel that it gives you. You did it very well with red

Ahh Yes! Finally!

Are you ever going to do another collection rating video? That was such a fun and informative video

I watched this video and went the next day and placed an order for a pair of JF Rey 2899 in black wood / carbon with a grey gradient tint 35% Not something I would've tried previously but you convinced me.

Love the videos, so much info packed, awesome stuff!, as well as what looks like the Santos De Cartier (i think) on the wrist. class 😎

Sweet violet is one of my all-time favourites, thanks to you.💜🔥😛 The sweet violet gradient custom shape you created looks really cool and would look great in a Flair rimless pair 🤔✅

Hi Robert, and thank you for the video and info you provided to us. This year I'll be looking for a brand new pair of frames... But I am curious: what do you think about the Balmain brand eyewear? Is it any good?

so bro,i am thinking to go for a powered sunglass ,so which tint would you suggest for long hours on computer plus for outdoors which deflects a good rate of sunlight

Being a lighting enthusiast I initially thought I'd hate green tinted lenses until I tried some G15s, the colours look great, especially blues and the overall tint isn't as repulsive like green-leaning LEDs make things appear. I still absolutely want some pink/brown lenses though.

Hi Robert, I just discovered your channel and it's amazing! I love your talks about how lens color can affect your mood! I lost my 12 years old RayBans and I missed their specific green color. I've tried many sunglasses with green lenses but not able to find similar green color. First, I bought new RayBan with G15 but this is not even green, this is more grey color..then I tried Etnia Barcelona Polarised HD green glasses - these are very good and pleasant for the eyes however they are little bit yellowish than green..the best green I've found so far was in Oliver Peoples - Oliver Sun model special collaboration with Bruno Cucinelli (this was also very special color (named as "Green C") made only for this particular model but differs from "Green C" color in other models in their lineup!), but I'm missing that "deep water green" color as my old RayBans had..I'm not sure they were made by Bausch and Lomb but definitely they had very unique green color lenses I'm looking for. As you're the expert and you had many sunglasses in your hands do you happen to advise some perfect forest? water? crystal green lenses? They should be made of mineral glass. I loved the mood when wearing them that's the reason I'm still looking for similar glasses..:( I found one video where some guy is showing the old RayBans and it seems it's the color I'm looking for..kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gN6Kf6p2z5eVkas.html Many thanks and keep doing a great work!

Hi Robert, they look fantastic. My family was amazed by how well the mood frames fit me... You may be hearing from them soon :)

Hi Robert, do you do consultations online and suggest glasses that will suit ones face, shape, colour, etc. ? In addition, do you suggest tints, which we can then ask for in our own country? I am based in India and have been wearing spectacles since I was 6. Thanks to your videos, now that I am 42, I am learning about tints and various contrasts and combinations. Thank you for continuing to make videos and showing up so many possibilities, rather than the same old boring glasses we are used to wearing.

im in the states. when you say flash coating is that the same as what we call a subtle mirror coating?

Great video! Wow, drinking from the lens color firehose, lol. Thank you!

Very informative as usual Robert. What's your take on “ Drivewear " Lenses by Younger Optics??

Question what’s your opinion on Chromeheart glasses

Informative vor! Cheers! Does Zeiss provide this adaptive gradient tint? Or other companies?

Outstanding

I’m hook I used hate glasses but now I’m so excited 😆

Do you have any videos showing the photofusion x colors without the flash coating? I cant find a video of that anywhere on youtube.

Hi Robert great content , what tint would be the best for golfing visibility? Thanks

18:13 it would be nice to see the modifications made to the rimless glasses with a gradient sweet violet tint!

I am interested in these lenses. Can someone recommend which color is best ? Grey,green and blue are an option in a shiny black frame. I would love to know what your experience is with this lenses. Thanks.

Hey I feel like the other sweet violet lenses you modelled before were more purple. While these are more blue? Is that so or is it just a difference in frame color?

Great video as always. Which adaptive sun is better for driving; 75/25 or the solid 60?

Hi Robert. Really love your videos. Could you give me the exact specs of the tint of the Gast Mapi you opened the video with? Much appreciated

Love the rimless frame with tint! I get what you mean with having purple making things calm and serene. I'm planning to get that amber tint + rimless (with prescription). Do you think amber would be a great, day to day eyeglasses? Or would you prefer adaptive?

more info on where i could get that J FRey carbon/wood amber gradient plz. love it!!!!

Grey + sapphire... or blue + sapphire... or blue = ruby... All three are amazing!

I need some advice! I’m getting a new pair of ray ban tortoise frames. I usually add a custom 20-25% tint on top of photochromic lenses. I’m wondering what colour combos would look good on a polished tortoise frame. What would be a good tint, photchromic and flash colour combo? Thanks!

Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩

What do you advice for a cheaper chrome hearts or Fendi FF0039 ZCZ type of glasses?

Thans Robert. I am from India, decided to go with tansition gen 8 lenses. But confused between grey or graphite green. Can you please help me to select one. I haven't used transition lenses before.

Just subscribed great work just bought prada crystal eye glasses will probably go gradient blue or gradient gray thanks again or your favorite blue gray 40 tint which is a work of art

Thank you for video with the nice glasses 👌🏼 I have the blue and violet lens from Zeiss on my sunglasses. But my friend said me that it’s not healthy to my eyes to wear blue or violet colour lenses because my eyes will getting more blue and ultraviolet sunlight and it’s dangerous for anybody eyes and some people can get cataract. Do you know about it something?

@thespectaclefactory : Hello Robert, I was wondering, is that Amber gradient tint with amber flash coating a Zeiss colour? I couldn't find it. Also, for some reason, here in Belgium, it doesn't seem possible to get their "Fun" range of colours (Magma Orange, Sunset tints,...) with their various Flash coatings. Is that possible? I tried ordering a pair of Magma orange Drivesafe lenses with Sapphire Flash as you have, but that combination is not possible apparently?

Hi Robert, what is the tint % of the lens that you wear at the beginning of the video? That's amazing color!

What type of green gradient 25 percent should I use and thanks

What is the best tint colour for those who spend most of the time on laptop, mobile for reading purpose and some cooking as well. Most of the time spend is indoor.

Idk Rob I feel like the LDS stingray pair was perfect for you 😉

Where can I get my lenses tinted? I just subscribed to your channel. It's too good on a subject i love.

I love this video and just stumbled upon your channel. After being inspired, I went to my Zeiss certified optometrist and asked about fitting my frames with similar ask as what this video shows (slight gradient tint, flash coating, anti glare, photo fusion, etc). He looked at me and said that there’s no way to do such things and began telling me of how tints wear out eventually but that it can’t be done with zeiss photochromic lenses. Basically, I have to stick with the trivex , photofusion, digital lenses. But that they’ll have a slight tint indoors. So, do you take HSA (Health Savings Account) payment? lol

Hi Robert! I am still curious about the silhouette. What shape will you prefer for that frame? I have that kinda of frame and wanna to reshape and tint it. Please reply your thoughts means alot. Thanks in advance

Can you add mirror coating to existing lenses?

Gosh, you're stylish, especially your clothes 😅. You have quite spectacular taste and the orange glass looks so elegant and geekish on you.😊

Was hoping my new pair made the cut, guess I have to get another pair 😂😂

What is the tint % on the sweet violet gast lavivo?

I can't help but feel that an Amber flash would've also worked with the Magma Orange on that particular pair, since there's already so much going on with the contrasting colours as it is. Thoughts?

Robert, i just discovered your channel. Subscribed. This is such a good video. How do i get consultation without visiting your physical shop? And how would consultation look like, virtual frames?

Great video Robert!Thanks for creating an eyewear wardrobe for me. Can’t wait to get my RE Elias and BP Cecil and wear them here in Thailand! As mentioned to you, I have a Reykjavik Eyes Vor (Aviator style). Thinking of a polarised lens with mirror finish for this, but don’t particularly want a fixed tint. Is it possible to have a brown gradient (already have green on my Cecil) adaptive sun and polarised, with diamond flash? How do you think this would fit in as a 3-pair eyewear wardrobe? Or do you suggest some other tint/flash combo?

Can the adaptive sun lenses be added with prescription?

Hi I have a question regarding prescription sunglasses. Can you keep your thin lenses 1-74 and have sunglasses paired with them?

Just subscribed - wonderful! Robert, what tint would you suggest? - I'm a 6'4 male, 49 years old, on the cool on the subtle side, not loud. Classic, not in your face. I'm entertaining the thought of my first pair of crystal/clear frames. They have a hint of smoke in them. I never considered tints until I found your channel. What tint color and percentage would you suggest? I would prefer very subtle, not dark at all, almost none to tell you the truth. The lenses would be trivex, Varilux Series X progressives. Thank you! Appreciate the thoughtfulness to every sentence.

Does the magma orange tint also help with night driving? Or is it just for day driving?

I'm somewhat confused. Dissappointed in my new Cartier Panthere silver progressive computer glasses. I wanted everyday gradient blue tint with adaptive sun with flash. What I received was clear lenses which darken in sunlight ...I believe photochromic with a flash coating. My request seems to be new territory for them. But watching your videos on tinting I'm not so sure what is doable. I thought photochromic lens could be tinted indoors but todays video seems to suggest no, they are clear. The last set of fashion tints on your video do not alter for outdoors. So am I correct that if I want tint indoors and darker outside they should be ordering an adaptive sun lens. Hopefully a gradient blue with a sapphire flash coating. Is this correct? Which lens are best adaptive? Finally, wondering how you work with international customers. Can you collaborate with the opticians I purchased the frames from to make me the lens?

HNY🎉 Can gradient tints help when viewing monitors?

Hi . Which colour tint will look best with thick JMM navy blue frames for spectacles indoor purpose - light blue 12 % or light pink or light amber or what ???

Don't know if comments are still being read -- what is the percentage tint on the rimless gradient sweet violet at the end?

You've mentioned before how blue lenses are calming but for someone with sensitive eyes and prone to headaches would they cause issues? Or would it be fine? I love how blue lenses look but I have baby eyes lol.

I have never tinted my glasses before but this has changed my mind. Completely changes the look of some of those frames. I was going to get transition lenses for some driving glasses but magma orange it is!

How would you go about ordering such lenses? I like the Reykjavik ELIAS with the PhotoFusion X Blue + Flash Sapphire. Is there a particular outlet which provides such lenses?

Robert, you refer to adaptive lenses, in Canada is that the same feature we call progressive lenses, thanks love the channel, found it a few weeks ago it’s Feb 2024 here :) I’m light sensitive too, have clip on polarized solid brown over clear lenses with anti glare (basic)

I'm going for my eye test at my local big name opticians tomorrow. Can I get these tints there? I'll almost certainly go for new glasses as I've only one of four frames I really like. Hopefully I'll avoid expensive mistakes this time. They always say Transitions don't work on the car. I wonder if they can do that there now.

How can i get one of these glasses, the gast mapi the one you have , plz let me know thx

I have searched everywhere and i cant find the robert la roche dash magma. Could you by any chance provide a link for them?

If i have a pair of sunglasses that i want to put a different lens tint. In general, how much would that cost in dollars? And im talking about general lens tint, no polarization, no fade color, no mirror. Just color only. And what color lens do you guys have?

my dream watch on your wrist 😀

Love your explanations. I own a wholesale lab Want to start selling specialty tints any suggestions or tools you recommend ?

Did not hear much about glasses/tints good for computer screens? Whats good for eye strain staring at spreadsheets all day?

What about the effect of various colour tints on the quality of vision and health of the eyes, ...having put all the posing and ego tripping aside??

This is grear. What lens would you go with for nightclubs so that you can still see in the dak but cuts lasers and strobe light. Also looks good indoor daytime? Amber? Is ther any that are yellow amber but transition darker in sunlight? Can you make lens for the rayban wayfarer meta glasses?

What's your opinion on night driving with a low tint, say sub 20%?

Are all these tints available by Zeiss? If not, then which ones specifically are not?

May I know what sunglass you wearing in the thumbnail?

Hey Robert I want to contact you to get a pair of glasses. I was curious what’s the best way to do that? Thanks

Photofusion x can be made with polycabornate?

What percentage of tint was the “Sweet Violet” ?? 18:30

Hi Robert. your videos made me decide that my next pair of glasses should be luxurious (probably acetate or reykjavikeyes) with a beautiful indoor tint which transforms outdoor. I wonder what is the budget i should set aside for a pair of lens that have a tint, changes colour under UV and probably have a reflective coating - this will help me plan towards my next pair.
