Choosing the right tinted lenses: more than just colour

Tinted lenses do more than look stylish — they shape the way you see the world. Each colour filter interacts differently with light, influencing contrast, clarity and visual comfort.

If you’re new to coloured lenses, start by exploring what tinted glasses can do for everyday use. Then, come back here for a deeper dive into how to make the perfect choice.

A colour-by-colour breakdown: what each tint does

Each tint has a function — here’s what to expect from the most popular options:

  • Grey: maintains natural colour balance, perfect for driving and daily wear.
  • Brown/amber: enhances contrast and depth, ideal for outdoor sports.
  • Green: reduces glare and bright light, great for long walks or golf.
  • Yellow/orange: improves visibility in low-light and foggy conditions. Discover more in our guide to yellow lenses and their specific benefits.
  • Blue/purple: stylish and functional, especially in bright and reflective settings.

Why customisation makes the difference

Tinted lenses by activity

Here’s how your lifestyle can guide your tint choice:

  • For driving: grey and brown tints reduce glare and enhance detail.
  • For sports: amber and green lenses help improve contrast.
  • For computer use: yellow tints ease eye strain.
  • For everyday fashion: try mirrored or pastel-coloured gradient lenses.

Each colour serves a purpose — the key is matching it to yours.

Comfort meets protection

Tinted lenses don’t just change how you see — they protect your eyes from strain, UV light, and visual fatigue. Whether you’re in harsh sunlight or low light, the right tint gives you clearer, sharper, more comfortable vision.
