Types of lenses and frames on our Replica Sunglasses

Plastics

Acrylic: Probably the most commonly used lens material, acrylic lenses are lightweight and relatively inexpensive to produce. Acrylic is available in both tinted and mirrored lenses, and is also used clear, for reading glasses and goggles. "AC" and "CR39®" are types of acrylic.

Lens Tints and Coatings on our Replica Sunglasses

Smoke, Gray and Gray-Green tints are the most common type of lens color. They are effective at blocking glare without changing color perception, making them a good choice for all-weather use.

Amber, or Brown lens tints are especially good at blocking the blue light commonly found in diffused light such as one might experience on a cloudy day. Amber can improve both contrast and depth perception, and is a good all-around choice if you live in an area with changeable weather patterns.

Amber, Yellow and Yellow-Gold tints improve contrast and give a sensation of heightened visual acuity. So-called "Driving" lenses are usually amber or yellow-brown.

Rose tints help block blue light, thereby improving contrast. Many people feel that rose tinted lenses are more comfortable for long periods of time than other lenses.

Mirror Lenses are good at blocking glare without changing color perception. Mirrored lenses come in a variety of colors and can compliment the appearance of your sunglass frame.
