With so many fantastic colours to choose from, you might be forgiven for wanting to buy at least two or three pairs of designer sunglasses! And that’s just the amazing selection of frames ! To buy glasses from an online opticians is to enter an Aladdin’s cave of optical delights!

But in fact the rich glow of stunning hues opening up on your screen emanates from the many types of coloured lenses now available online and your personal preferences do not reflect individual sunglasses quality.

We all know that dark lenses block more visible light and may be preferred in brighter conditions, but we always need to remember that whether they are cheap sunglasses or prescription sunglasses, dark lenses which do not block UV light, can actually cause more damage than not wearing sunglasses.  This is because they dilate the pupil and allow light in, without blocking the UV rays.

Whether you have to wear tinted lenses for particular eye sight sensitivity or wish to choose different coloured lenses because they are suited to different conditions, here are same details in brief:

• Grey – Grey coloured lenses have low colour distortion.  These are best suited for clear weather and general use, including driving.  Grey shades tend to reduce the amount of light, which can be seen and allow real colours to still be seen.  They are ideal for bright days.

• Green – Green coloured lenses have low colour distortion.  These are best suited for clear weather and general use but are also good for changing light conditions.

• Amber – Amber coloured lenses blocks blue light and can brighten your view on dull grey days and in foggy conditions.

• Orange – Orange coloured lenses block blue light and brighten your view on dull grey cloudy days and in foggy conditions.

• Red – Red lenses increase contrast and are therefore suited to sunrise and sunset.

• Gold – Gold lenses brighten the view of low light conditions.

• Gold & Yellow – These lenses brighten the view of low light conditions, for example, when it is cloudy or when driving at night.  Yellow lenses increase contrast and can also filter out blue light.

• Brown – Brown coloured lenses are ideal for improving depth perception whilst improving visual sharpness.  Brown coloured lenses are suited to general use and bright conditions.

• Rose – Rose lenses brighten the view of low light conditions and offer high contrast.

• Blue – Blue coloured lenses in sunglasses are most suited for slightly cloudy to sunny weather conditions.

There are some terrific deals available online on all brand name designer glasses at the present time, so with the English summer threatening to arrive at any time, now is the perfect moment after reading this, to take peek and grab a pair or two!
