THE FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF VARIOUS LENS COLOURS.
Apart from the appearance enhancement, i.e. lens and frame colours
complementing each other each lens colour brings its own features and benefits
to the wearer.
GREY LENSES
The colour is effectively natural. There is no alteration in colour perception.
Therefore grey is a very ‘soft’ and natural colour to view through. Grey is
practically useful to those individuals who are troubled by high contrast
lenses. Very light grey lenses can be simply a ‘fashion’ lens with little glare
block. However a dark grey tint can be quite effective. Since there is little
or no blue light block grey is not a contrast-enhancing colour.
GREEN LENSES
This standard green lens (code G15) is a very good everyday colour. It combines
‘softness’ of grey with a degree of contrast, as there is some blue light
block.
BROWN LENSES
The standard soft brown (code B10) is an excellent lens as it has a good degree
of ‘soft’ viewing whilst providing substantial blue light block. This makes a
good colour to wear where contrast viewing is required eg.
driving/flying/sporting activities.
MIRROR LENSES
Full or partly full (bloom) mirrors provide extra glare block. The lens colour
behind the mirror provides nearly all the visual quality.
BLUE LIGHT BLOCKERS
These ‘Elvis’ type lenses which are generally orange brown block out so much
blue light that they cause considerable colour distortion. In many countries
they have to carry a ‘not suitable for driving’ warning as traffic light
colours can be unrecognisable. They may also make for uncomfortable viewing.
They may have a place where ultra high contrast is required eg. Mountain
climbing.
YELLOW LENSES
These are a ‘fashion’ type lens but also have a place where there are low light
conditions (not night driving) are found. These lenses lift ‘brightness’ of
perception.
VERMILLION/ORANGE LENSES
These are ideal for skiing as they are ultra high contrast but are generally
not suitable for driving. Orange is also used for Target Shooting and Archery.
RED/BLUE/PINK LENSES AND OTHERS OF THIS TYPE
Are generally a high fashion lens. Some are not suitable for driving and have
to carry that warning.
COPPER LENSES
Considered the finest lens colour (as found in the Brenner range). This lens
provides for soft viewing. Whilst the deep copper colour provides the maximum
blue block without colour distortion.
