Choosing a pair of sunglasses that fit us well and give us a touch of style is essential. We want to have an accessory that fits perfectly and enhances our charm, and nothing should be left to chance.
The frame can be round or square, lightweight 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 a yellow shade that adds a touch of madness?
Pros and cons of different colors of sunglasses lenses
Gray lenses
Gray lenses in sunglasses enhance the perception of contrasts between colors, provide maximum comfort, and soften the light optimally. They are suitable for every use and in every light condition, adapting to both casual and more formal looks.
Especially for those who wear sunglasses while driving, they allow for safe driving without straining the eyes.
Green lenses
Recommended if choosing gold sunglasses or drop sunglasses, green lenses provide good perception of contrasts and colors, and are recommended for those who have difficulty seeing up close or suffer from farsightedness.
And then, who can resist the “Top Gun” effect, that charm full of mystery that immediately envelops those who wear them?
Red or orange lenses
They enhance contrasts well especially in cases of very strong reflected light, such as 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 style different from the usual.
Brown lenses
Like red/orange lenses, brown lenses effectively block reflected cold light and are great for sports. In this case, color contrasts are highlighted, making it easier to spot potential obstacles.
Additionally, brown lenses are the most recommended for those who suffer from nearsightedness. Suitable for any look, they effectively shield prying eyes and look good on everyone.
Yellow or amber lenses
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 high light conditions, and should only be used on cloudy days. They could be dangerous for driving because they do not allow for immediate color identification.
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
Blue and purple lenses reduce glare and enhance 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 be bold.
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 nearsighted or farsighted. Not all colors are suitable in these cases, and there is also the risk of experiencing problems when wearing sunglasses.
Colors suitable for nearsighted individuals
For those who are nearsighted, it is better to choose warm colors such as brown or red. The frequencies of these colors are well tolerated by those who cannot focus properly at a distance.
Colors suitable for farsighted individuals
Those who suffer from farsightedness should choose cool colors such as gray or light blue.
In this case, it is even more important to choose the right shade, as if a farsighted person wears lenses in the spectrum between brown and red, they may even experience nausea.
