Clinical Note

Polarised lenses can make LCD screens harder to read — not ideal for pilots or frequent dashboard users.

Tint Options

Lens tint affects how much light is blocked and how colours appear — choose based on your activity.

Includes

  • Grey (neutral colour perception)
  • Brown / amber (contrast enhancement)
  • Green (balanced, relaxing outdoors)
  • Yellow / orange (low light and sport use)
  • Mirror and gradient cosmetic tints

Clinical Note

Darker lenses do not mean better UV protection — always verify the UV certification rating.
