Make any of our glasses into prescription sunglasses. Choose polarised, sun reactive, or sun tinted lenses
Polarised lenses filter out glare reflected from horizontal surfaces.
How do polarised lenses work?
Imagine glare as a water balloon hitting a flat surface. The water splashes in all directions. In the same way, sun rays hit a flat surface, and reflected light goes everywhere.
This chaotic pattern creates visual glare. Polarised sunglasses lenses filter this glare. In other words, they tidy the way light enters the eye and minimises annoying glare.
Polarised lenses are available in grey, brown, and green.
Great for outdoors, cycling, beach, snow, and where high contrast is required.

Sun reactive lenses
Also known as photochromatic, photochromic, reactorlite and brand names transition lenses change from light to dark as you go from indoors to outdoors, and then lighten when you go back indoors.
How do Photochromic lenses work?
The lenses have a chemical in them, that when exposed to UV light the molecules change.
The more UV light, the darker the lenses become.
We use transitions lenses and are available in brown, grey and green.

Sun Tints
A permanent tint provides comfort by reducing the amount of light entering the eye.
A solid tint can be used as sunglasses, combined with UV coating.
Tints can be made lighter depending on visual needs.
We also do gradient tints. Here the top of the lens is darker than the lower lens.
The most popular tints are brown, grey, and green, but we can also make most coloured tints, from blue to red to yellow, orange, purple, pink...
