Improve Performance With the Right Sunglass Tint

Mt Pleasant Eye Doctor — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 11:00:29 +0000

Sport-specific performance in sunglasses comes down to tint, which should filter enough of the right kind of light to reduce brightness and eyestrain, without filtering out what you actually need to see to perform well. Our Eyewear Consultants can help determine what lens colors will work best for you. Here are some general guidelines.

Yellow or Amber: Increases visual acuity, focus, and contrast in low light conditions.

Best for: Road, field, and trail. Shooting, fishing, tennis, racquetball, handball, indoor basketball.

Gray or green-gray: Cuts glare in bright light conditions, and preserves natural color perception.

Best for: Water and road. Cycling, all outdoor sports.

Copper or brown: Universal tints that improve depth perception, increase contrast, cut glare on sunny to partly cloudy days, and minimize eyestrain brought on by haze.

Best for: Road, trail, field, and water. Golf, fishing, baseball, cycling, hunting.

Rose or violet: Makes details pop when light is flat, especially against blue backgrounds.

Best for: Water and snow.

If you want to reflect certain color wavelengths, like screening blue or green for better visibility below the water line when fishing, ask about a mirrored coating instead of a tint. The best way to eliminate reflections and glare is to choose optical quality sunglasses that are polarized.

You’ll find a full range of options in our eyewear gallery. Be sure to check out Rudy Project and Maui Jim sunwear, which is particularly suited to performance sports. We can even design a pair of custom sunglasses to meet your specific needs.
