Polarised lenses for prescription sports sunglasses
Brown: The best ‘all-round’ tint. This is a high contrast lens, providing the best vision over a wide range of lighting conditions – from a cloudless blue sky to heavy cloud cover. It also removes virtually all horizontal glare, offering excellent penetration when looking into water. (The pictures below clearly show the effects of the polarised lenses.
Yellow is ultra high contrast and suitable for use in very low levels of light, such as at dusk or early dawn – or in very heavy cloud cover. Orange, is exceptionally good for shooting orange clays or against a crowded woodland background. Grey is ideal for high levels of light such as in Australia or Africa. Green is a general purpose lens but is especially good for tennis players
Polarised lenses are also available with bifocal, varifocal, non prescription and single vision options.
