Which tint color options (12% uniform throughout and also gradient tints 25% etc) would you recommend for brown skin? My pair of glasses are Jacque Marie Mage Molino (Black) and Dita Flight 006 Gold frame aviator.

You seem to be mainly focused on the aesthetics of the lens tint, I know that that's a big factor for most people but in my opinion the functionality and view is absolutely the decision maker regardless of the frame. I was hoping to hear more detail about how they effect colour and contrast and suitability for different environments.

@thespectaclefactory Thanks for the video! I currently had a pair for Cazal 9071/003 (full gold) stolen and bought the frame again and put transition gold mirror in them. Looks insane! But I do not like how they never become 100% clear + plenty of reflections if there is no sunshine. So these are my Sunglasses. I have some clear ones but I want your ideas for my new "project". I just ordered the brand new Cazal 6033/004 today (transparent + gold). I want them as my new daily and just clear would be boring... and I struggled indoors with my fading blue tinted 9071. I do not remember the exact percentage, but you could see that they have some blue instantly, 20% or sth.. What do you think fits perfect for my new 6033/004 transparent & gold Cazal glasses as a daily. Looking at your video I guess the gradient ones, as the full tint in one color is a little boring. Blue looks super badass, but it feels kind of cold... A color which would make the world look happy would be cool, but as I would chose a very low percentage it might not matter... what would you say is the max percentage of tint gradient, that feels like clear glasses but people can recognize it as tinted and it looks cooler haha THANK YOU! Great video! Watched three now in a row and will watch some more :)

Please comment about rose or pink tints. I have always preferred neutral gray or brown. Disliked blue or green. I had a pair of "rose colored glasses" made, just for fun.

I tend to think they match a lot of colours, but especially brown or green

Hi Robert, is the Chill Out green part of the ZEISS’ color lineup?

Yep

This is very informative. I have problem with sharp light in general and using screens a lot at work so my eyes get overused. At the same time I have a professionally calibrated home movie theater, and take pictures with a color calibrated Smartphone with Zeiss lenses - so I need precise colors and white balance. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to strike a balance? I think zeiss smartlife spectacles coild be part of the solution but haven't found tte possibility in my home country Denmark. Any thoughts?

@@thespectaclefactory Thank you for the response. I managed to find a Zeiss Vision Partner in my city, and have bought my glasses from him. Eagerly awaiting how it will change my outlook on things. He is not a young and upcoming optometrist so he did not recommend a tint, but they are smartlife glasses.

How do you think a brown to clear purple gradient would look?

What about self-tinting lenses?

"Adding a tint to your glasses"..must be nice as a possibility. I'm in the US. Adding a tint to your glasses is a forever moving target. A unicorn. Optical suppliers claim to offer it. But when you inquire, they just stare at you while quietly shoving the tint display our of your view. Or better yet, moving in front of it as if it's not there. If it's possible for you to fill an American prescription, that would be a dream come true. 🤓

Thank you 😁 Those are my Novak Djokovic x Lacoste frames. They don't make them any more. But I could source you similar if you wanted...

I have red eyes from dry eyes that makes me self conscious. What color and tint percentage would you recommend to hide the red in my eyes without being too distracting of a tint

@thespectaclefactory

Probably blue 25%, as blue nullifies red.

Question. Which tint color is best for an Asian complexion? I’m Chinese. Thanks!

I want to order a pair like your 12 % blue tints but they only have 10 and 15 %, which one is closer to the 12% ones you had on?

@thespectaclefactory

Probably 10. You could just order the 12% from us?

What tint would you recommend for indoors, watching Tv, using computer, etc. please

Depends on the brightness of your environment and how light sensitive you are. I alternate between 40% gradient blue, 50% sweet violet and 25% gradient Pistachio... the 25% is probably the safest choice. Whichever you want, we can make them for you if you like. And I can talk you through the options in more detail.

Whst is the glasses brand you have with the uv torch ? What’s the size also ?

Now, not all lens tint colors and intensities are created equal. Which one is best depends on lifestyle, occupation, and situation. Green is a good one for certain sports such as golf. Rose and the related tint FL41 (which sort of is a mix between pink and orange or brown, basically boysenberry coloured) is often recommended for those with migraine related photophobia. Yellow is the most common tint color for computer blue light glasses and night driving glasses. Gray and brown are more generic and good for the most occasions, even formal and serious ones(at least outdoors on bright days), they have minimal or no colour distortion and the latter gives a warm hue to surroundings. Blue lenses should generally be avoided like the plague according to many experts as too much blue light isn't good for the eyes. And most of the other colors available are best for casual, fun occasions, and are sometimes prescribed for dyslexia or irlen syndrome. As for intensities, anything 50% or below (categories one and two for those using that system) are okay for most situations inside, outside and during lower light conditions. The main exceptions are while at work in a corporate office or attending a somber, serious event like in court during proceedings (situations in which wearing glasses with even light tints is considered bad form and often against the actual written rules), although if you're light sensitive in which case etiquette and protocol generally take a back seat to one's comfort and health. Intensities of around 52% or higher (the category three and four tints) tend to really be rated for outdoor use in bright sunlight only.
