A Fashion & Function Upgrade
Why Add a Colour Tint?
Tinted glasses are a well-established fashion trend — not just a stylish addition to your outfit, but also a way to add a high-contrast vision experience and a splash of personality to an everyday pair.
Which Tint Is Right for You?
Standard Tints
One solid color from top to bottom of the lens — best for outdoor use in darker shades like gray, brown, or green.
Fashion Tints
A lighter tint that works indoors or out, adding a colorful pop without much shade.
Gradient Tints
Dark at the top, gradually lightening toward the bottom — sun protection with a chic, layered look.
Mirrored Tints
A reflective, mirror-like finish, available combined with polarized lenses — see our Polarized Lenses page for those options.
Available Colours — 20+ Shades
*Sample shade names shown for layout purposes — confirm the exact colour names and count you want to offer against your current lens configurator before publishing.
