Choosing The Right
Sunglasses
A Lens Color Guide
- Amber or yellow colors are intended
for use in flat to hazy light conditions and offer high contrast necessary
in high-speed, high altitude sports such as skiing by filtering out blue
light which makes focusing difficult.
- Vermilion (pink) actually helps to
absorb light in foggy or gray conditions increasing contrast and depth
perception, a must for high-speed sports in the winter.
- Brown lenses offer the true-color
perception characteristics of a gray or smoke lens, but also retains some of
the blue-light removing / contrast increasing characteristics of a light
amber lens.
- Clear...why? Because if you're
skiing at night, it's the only lens color that will allow their eyes to see
anything at all.
- Gray or smoke colored lenses are
best suited for driving or general use when depth perception is not as
important as true color perception.
- Blue and purple lenses are not
recommended for any use other than fashionable as the color actually serves
to increase the contrast-destroying characteristics of blue light.
