Tinting your eyeglasses is a great alternative to photochromic lenses.

(P.S Before you continue pleasebe aware that we can't tint YOUR glasses; but you can purchase our frames and order the lenses to be tinted in a variety of colors.)

Tinting your eyeglasses lens to get color lens or what some refer to as "tinted sunglasses" is a great way to add a little style to your look. Not only will the color lighten or enhance your mood (" looking through rose-colored eyes") but it can actually make you more comfortable and improve your visual comfort.

The lighter tints are great as a fashion statement and the darker tints can block some of the harmful rays of the sun. 

• Understand that these tints are not the same as polarized lenses. They simply do not provide the same degree of protection. They are a cheaper and - more fun option that can be helpful in blocking and protecting the eyes.
