Sunglasses, mirrors, and tints are more than just fashion. They blend science with style, helping protect our eyes and enhance aesthetics. At Spex4Less, we boast an extensive online selection of mirrors and tints. Dive into our guide to uncover the captivating science behind these everyday lenses.
Tints
Sunglass tints not only provide a stylistic touch but also filter specific wavelengths of light, enhancing visual clarity and significantly reducing the harshness of glare, making it easier on the eyes.
Mirrors
Mirrored lenses come with a reflective optical coating on the outside, which helps to reflect sunlight away from the eyes, offering a cooler and more comfortable view, especially in intensely bright conditions.
Photochromics
Experience the cutting-edge technology of photochromic lenses, including renowned brands like Transitions. These advanced lenses intuitively adjust their tint in real time, darkening in sunlight for optimal outdoor protection and reverting to clear indoors for seamless vision. This adaptability offers unparalleled versatility in vision protection, ensuring comfort and clarity in varying light conditions.
Sunglass Tint
Sunglasses tints are designed to shield against UV radiation, blocking almost 100% of UV rays. The effectiveness and comfort of tints largely depend on their colour, with each hue offering unique benefits. At Spex4less, we provide a variety of stylish tints; our grey tint is versatile for varied weather, green reduces glare in bright sunlight, and brown's reddish tone improves depth perception. Additionally, we also offer polarised lenses, which further reduce glare and enhance visual clarity in various lighting conditions.
