Tinted Lenses - Sunglasses

Whether you're changing your look or optimizing your vision for changing light conditions, Maycock Eyecare offers a full spectrum of lens colour options. We offer many different lens hues that have been formulated to precisely balance transmission, absorption and the reflection of light, while improving levels of contrast and reducing glare.

Lens colour is a key element to improving your vision and the tint colour that you choose for your sunglasses is based on desired comfort, visual expectations, and environmental conditions.

When designing prescription sunglasses, this same wide spectrum of lens colours can be added to custom-ground optical lenses. The experienced staff at Maycock Eyecare can help you with this decision and ensure the sunglasses you decide on are just right for you.

Below are a few of the more popular lens colours offered by Maycock Eyecare, please come in to see us today and the full spectrum of colours.

	Brown and Amber Brown and amber-brown are excellent for general-purpose sunglasses. They improve contrast by filtering out blue light and reducing glare. They are the ideal lens colour for sports with high glare such as skiing, boating, and fishing and are well suited for driving and fast-reaction sports. Light amber-brown lenses can also be used in overcast, hazy conditions.

	Grey Grey is a neutral shade and a good general-purpose colour. Image colours pass through grey lenses evenly, allowing true perception and the least amount of colour distortion of any lens tint. Grey lenses protect well against glare, making them excellent for sports, outdoor work, driving, and general wear.
	Green Green is a good all-around general-purpose lens colour, providing contrast enhancement in low light conditions and reduces eyestrain in bright conditions. A green tint will filter out some blue light and protect against glare. Green lenses only allow the most useful light to reach the eye for greatest visual acuity and are the most preferred of all lens colours.
	Rose or Vermilion These colours provide excellent perception in low light conditions while allowing a tolerable level of light transmission in bright sunlight. Used to contrast objects against blue and green backgrounds. A good colour for skiing, golfing and shooting.
	Yellow Yellow lenses are a long time standard in the ski industry. They provide excellent depth perception and contrast in low light. Ideal for shooting, skiing, and fast-reaction sports.
