Compare Different Types of Lenses for Glasses

When shopping for a new pair of eyeglasses, there are many factors to consider. Compare different eyeglass lens types to understand the best fit for you.

Types of lens tints

Tinted lenses ease eye strain from changing light conditions while maintaining natural vision and color perception. They reduce glare, enhance contrast, and improve depth perception in any settings. Use the guide below to find the best tint for your lifestyle.

Yellow or Orange

They enhance contrast in low light or overcast conditions while filtering blue-violet light from screens to improve focus and reduce eye strain. They’re ideal for night drivers, outdoor and winter sports enthusiasts, and those who spend extended time on computers.

Amber, Copper or Brown

These tints block blue-violet light, enhancing visual clarity and contrast, especially against grass, water, and blue skies. They are ideal for outdoor athletes, anglers (especially in grassy waters), and anyone seeking sharper vision outdoors.

Rose or Red

Red-based tints enhance contrast in both cloudy and sunny conditions but with a warmer tone. They’re ideal for improving depth perception in bright light, sharpening outdoor vision, and enhancing performance for winter sports athletes.

Green

Green tint will preserve color balance and slightly heighten contrast. This type of lens tint is ideal for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors, in low-light or sunny environments.

Gray

Gray-based tints reduce brightness and preserve 100% color recognition. This tint is ideal for people with consistent eye strain or fatigue, especially if you spend a lot of time outside.

Blue

Blue lenses can help block UV rays while reducing glare in bright outdoor conditions. Blue tinted lenses are also ideal for those who spend time outdoors in snowy, misty, or foggy conditions.
