Soprattutto a pair of sunglasses that look good on us and give us a touch of style is essential. We want to have an accessory that fits us perfectly and enhances our charm, and nothing should be left to chance.
The frame can be round or square, light or more substantial. However, we usually do not give the necessary attention to the color of the lenses.
Why limit ourselves to black lenses, when we can range from green to red, or even dare to try a yellow shade that adds a touch of madness?
Pros and cons of the different colors of sunglasses lenses
Gray lenses
The gray lenses in sunglasses enhance the perception of contrasts between colors, provide maximum comfort, and attenuate light optimally. They are suitable for any use and in any lighting condition, as well as adapting to both casual and more formal looks.
Especially for those who use sunglasses in the car, they allow for safe driving without straining the eyes.
Green lenses
Recommended if you choose gold glasses or drop glasses, green lenses provide a good perception of contrasts and colors, and are recommended for those who do not see well up close or suffer from farsightedness.
And then, can you imagine the “Top Gun” effect, that charm full of mystery that immediately envelops anyone who wears them?
Red or orange lenses
They enhance contrasts well especially in cases of very strong reflected light, such as can occur on snow or at the beach. They are therefore recommended for those who practice outdoor sports and can have the classic mirror effect, which further reduces reflections.
Red or orange lenses also relax the eyes and, in some cases, are used to treat mild vision disorders.
Red or orange lenses are not very common, and we suggest them to those looking for an original and different style.
Brown lenses
As in the case of red/orange lenses, brown lenses block reflected cold light well and are great for sports. In this case, color contrasts are highlighted and make it easier to spot potential obstacles.
Moreover, brown lenses are the most recommended for those suffering from myopia.Suitable for any look, they shield well from prying eyes and look good on everyone.
Yellow or amber lenses
The yellow or amber lenses are widely used in precision sports, as they increase brightness and improve contrast.
However, they do not protect the eye in bright lighting conditions, and should only be used on cloudy days. They could be dangerous for driving because they do not allow for immediate identification of colors.
In short, yellow or amber lenses should be worn with moderation and only on certain occasions, perhaps during an elegant evening.
Blue and purple lenses
The blue and purple lenses reduce glare and increase contrast between black and white, especially in water, so they can be used by those who love the sea and water sports.
As for style, they pair well with elegant and formal looks, and are favored by those who are not afraid to dare.
What lens color to choose if you have vision defects?
A often underestimated issue is the color of the lenses to choose if you are myopic or hyperopic. Not all colors are suitable in these cases, and there is also the risk of experiencing problems when wearing sunglasses.
Colors suitable for myopes
For those who are myopic, it is better to choose warm colors such as brown or red. The frequencies of these colors are indeed well tolerated by those who cannot focus properly from a distance.
Colors suitable for hyperopes
Those who suffer from hyperopia should choose cool colors like gray or light blue.
In this case, it is even more important to choose the right shade, as if a hyperopic person wears lenses in the spectrum between brown and red, they may even experience nausea.
