Choosing a lens color

Sunglasses Lens Color Options

Neither lens darkness nor color affects UV protection, but the darker the lens, the more light it blocks. Different lens colors filter light differently, affecting color perception and visual acuity.

Gray: Good choice for outdoor activities, as it performs well in cloudy or sunny conditions and offer true color perception.
Brown or Amber: Enhances contrast and is good for activities that rely on depth perception, such as golf or driving.
Green: Great for all-purpose use and offers better contrast and color accuracy than other colors.
Blue: Improves color perception and contours and reduces glare, so this color works well in snowy conditions.
Yellow: Better contrast at dawn or dusk and in fog, haze and other low-light conditions, making it a great color for hunting, baseball and tennis, and are often preferred by pilots.
Red or Pink: This shade is easy on the eyes (literally!), helping eyes adjust to contrast and making it a good choice for winter sports and driving visibility.
