Yeah, definitely like looking through a cat 2 gradient brown lens for sunglasses - prefer the vision a bit to black / grey lenses, and also I think the sunglasses look better too - probably because often the frames are brown or very dark brown or dark red or tortoiseshell. Just got some new prescription sunglasses on order, and they are with green lenses - only options were grey, green or brown. The pair that I tried on in store were green, and I stuck with that - hope I made the right choice. But from your video I think I did - best would have been brown maybe, but definitely better to try green than grey. Though the girl in store, although very good, said that the colour differences were only for style / looks - nothing to do with vision quality or glasses use. cheers! JB

2:58 I bought a pair of sunglasses. The color looks "purplish" when you put them on, so the color is like a grey-violet. So I wore them while driving on the copilot seat, and they made the sky and scenery look cleaner. The red, green, and yellow street lights looked brighter. While the surroundings looked muted, and the foliage looked more 3D. In addition, the foliage seemed a little bit greener and brighter. And stationary street signs looked brighter, red cars look beautiful. Everything looked more defined, more visible, and cleaner.

Thanks for another great video. Trying to update a few pairs of frames by having my updated Rx lens tinted. I was thinking of going with a medium 50% tint of either Rose or Yellow after seeing the Sweet Violet tint in this video. Would that be too dark? To be honest, I'm thinking fashion and softening the fine lines under my eyes, but that they have to be functional for office work as well. Could you do a video or maybe you already have done a strictly cosmetic video dealing with the most Flattering Tints for aging eyes? Thanks again and keep educating!

@thespectaclefactory Жыл бұрын

Sure, that's a good video idea! Could you do me a favour and ask the question on our recent community post? And then I can answer it in my upcoming video. As for those tints, I personally don't think a 50% rose or yellow ever looks good. Sweet Violet is much more cosmetic. Yellow is great for gaming but looks a bit odd outside of that environment. Just IMO of course 😄

@r1r597 Жыл бұрын

Something that happens for me with my distance prescription is; if the lighting is dimmer, things are less clear for me in the distance, so if I wear dark grey prescription lenses, I actually notice no difference to wearing non prescription lenses, because the grey tint actually negates the prescription in the lense by making detail less contrasted for me haha. So for me with my particular distance prescription, brown tinted lenses work best for me because they accentuate things and don’t dim the details, if that makes any sense haha :)

You could go for either the blue as suggested for contrast, brown to blend everything together, or even green if you want a more neutral lens in terms of colour perception.

They are kind of the same. Anti-reflection stops reflections off the lens surface, which in turn reduces glare into the eyes. BUT it's important to know that lenses with anti-reflection do not reduce glare from the outer environment, only reflections that would have been caused by the lenses themselves. Polycarbonate doesn't inherently have dust or water repellence. You need a coating for that. I never recommend polycarbonate lenses - see my video about lens materials. With sunglasses, You definitely want anti-reflection on the back surface. Whether you want it on the front is up to you. Having it on the front means others can see your eyes more easily and it makes them perform better in lower light. Not having it obscures your eyes and makes them a tiny bit more protective in bright weather.
