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.
