Shading Options For Eyeglasses

Vintage eye glasses

There are eyeglass tints that permeate the actual lens material, and others that are merely absorbed into the surface of the lens. Other tints are applied to the eyeglass lens as a coating material, while yet others serve as a type of laminate to the surface of the lens. Below is an overview of different types of tints currently available for corrective eyeglass lenses.

Fashion Tints
There is a huge variety of colors or shades that prescription glasses can be tinted in, so long as they are made of optical plastic. Fashion tints can also help to lessen any glare.

Computer Tints
Even heavy computer use does not cause any significant eye damage. A computer tint with anti-reflective coating, colored tint and UV filter can help by reducing computer screen glare, adding contrast, and providing greater comfort while using the computer.

Sun tints for your prescription glasses should filter 100% of ultraviolet rays.

Shades of Tints
Tints, whether they are for fashion purposes or to protect light-sensitive eyes, are available in a wide array of colors. Below is an overview of the different colors available in tints for corrective lenses.

- Blue
Blue allows 70% of visible light to be transmitted through the lens inside and 30% of visible light is transmitted outside.

- Gradient Tints
Gradient tints help to reduce glare and lessen the effect of bright sunlight while the clear bottom portion of the lens still allows for easy reading.

- Gray
This tint color is great for sunglasses as it is very effective in dulling bright light. A gray tint on your corrective lenses will also reduce glare, and comes in a variety of intensities.

The most Important Information

When measuring for eyeglasses, the most important piece of information to have is the “PD”, or the distance between the wearer’s pupils. This measurement is crucial in the proper fit of glasses because even if it is off by a few millimeters the wearer can suffer some ill effects. Measure the distance from the center of one pupil to the center of the other while looking directly ahead. It’s advisable to repeat the measurement several times to ensure that it is accurate.

Measuring yourself for glasses isn’t impossible, in fact it isn’t even all that difficult but be sure that you take your time and record the

information accurately, because even a simple mistake could have you wearing a pair of glasses that will do you more harm than

good - when in doubt, visit an optician for help.
