How to remove mirror effect from your eyeglasses

Only a regular glasses wearer knows how annoying it gets reflections on your eyeglasses. When the light is dim, things at the back are reflected on your glasses, disrupting your vision. It is more vexatious when your glasses reflect your phone contents, the books you read or the cards in your hands if you play poker.

This problem can be easily solved by using transition glasses, blue light glasses or anti-glare coating on your prescription or non-prescription glasses.

Transition Glasses

Transition lenses are glasses that transition from normal see-through glasses to tinted glasses. These are also known as photochromatic glasses. These glasses darken when exposed to sunlight and lighten when under softer light or in darkness. It functions as a pair of sunglasses in sunlight and works as normal prescription glasses in normal light. You get the benefit of two glasses from a single pair of eyeglasses.

Which glasses tints are perfect for you?

Shopping for glasses online may have made things convenient, but there are a lot more decisions to make now! From frame colour, shape and size to lens tints now, there is a whole host of options. Choosing the perfect pair of glasses involves factors like your preference, face shape, lifestyle, personality, etc. 

When it comes to picking among different glasses tints, there are a few more things to consider. Whether you are going for sunglasses or adding tints to prescription glasses, they can add some serious style to your look. Apart from being a style preference, tints also affect the visual acuity a great deal. So it is about both – how well you see and how good you look! 

Let us go over the different tints available, and what is so special about each of them. 

Grey lenses

The most popular tint, it helps in dulling bright glare, but is not dark enough to lower quality of vision. The neutral shade makes it appropriate for both sunny and overcast days. You will see the truest colours of the outside word in grey lenses. 

Brown lenses

Brown is a pretty safe choice like the classic black in frames. In a nod to vintage 70s style, they are best paired with aviators. It provides a decent visual contrast in overcast conditions as well. You can expect a good performance when it is snowing as well. Perfect for a day of golf! 

Green lenses

Green tints are as good a fashion choice as a safety one. They block a good amount of blue light which improves contrast. They are well suited for a sunny day out, especially if you are playing outdoor games. They will also help reduce eye strain. 

Yellow lenses 

Yellow tinted sunglasses have been worn by bird shooters since ages. This is because they are great at blocking blue light and improving contrast and visual clarity. Yellow or amber lenses also help avoid eyestrain if you use computer screens or look at a digital screen for hours on end. Thus they are appropriate for indoor use as digital eye strain glasses as well, but not if you work in low light conditions.   

Red lenses 

These are perfect for snowy conditions. Rose tinted lenses help with brightness and can reduce glare from snow or a water body. 

Blue lenses 

They provide good visibility while looking ultra fashionable! They are the best choice if you are over exposed to yellow light. Do not confuse these with blue light glasses, which have a special coating on their lenses to block harmful blue light. 

This light is a part of natural light wavelength, which regulates our circadian rhythm. It is also emitted by digital device screens like phones and computers, and overexposure to it can lead to eye strains, headaches and fatigue among other conditions. 

Which lenses are right for you? 

Before you choose a specific tint, ask yourself the following questions – 

  • Is your work mostly indoors or outdoors?
  • How are the weather conditions where you live? 
  • Do you have trouble sleeping at night?
  • What are your leisure activities?
  • Do you look at digital screens a lot (phone, laptop, TV, computer, tablets, etc.)?
  • Do you require great visual contrast? 
  • Is glare off wet roads, billboards, street lights, etc. a problem for you?

Apart from the lens colour, you can also choose between solid tints, graduated tints and mirrored lenses. Each of them has their own set of benefits. In case you are wondering how mirrored tints help, here are its advantages – 

  • Block glare – Mirrored sunglasses are great at blocking glare, so no matter which colour tint you like, you can wear them in bright conditions with ease. 
  • Cool eyewear – Mirrored lenses are undeniably cool! 
  • Maintain anonymity – They are great if you don’t want to show your eyes or want to maintain an air of anonymity.
