More about buying tinted lenses 

We specialise in many different bespoke tint colours and lens coatings. We tint our supplied lenses in-store and can anti glare coat our lenses too.

Tints can be a solid all over colour, and also graduated from dark to light, even transitioning from one colour to another, something the chain store opticians don't offer.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Many tints and colours are ideal for sports like fishing, cycling and driving. These tints are added in-house and so can be ready within a few hours included our new single vision lenses.


Bluemax/ Blue light coatings are ideal for glasses (lenses) that you may wear when using a computer or any tech device that emits high levels of blue spectrum light that may cause irritation and strain on the eyes. We supply lenses embedded with the Bluemax coating, the latest solution to irritation and protection from this source. These lenses have a slight blue and attractive hue to them which adds to the look of your glasses.
Blumax lenses offer seamless strain-free vision, with both indoor and outdoor protection against UV and blue-violet light. The embedded technology uses a material formula that absorbs both UV and blue-violet light rays, preventing them from entering the eye. We can have your lenses with this coating within a few days

Anti Glare coated lenses are usually available within 48 hours. The coating has been around a while and been improved to stop smearing to the extent older Anti Glare resistant coatings became known for. This coating has a green hue when the light catches it.

Night driving yellow tinted glasses are really useful for a safe clearer vision when driving at night and in bad weather conditions, relaxing the eyes and reducing eye strain that causes headaches and sore eyes. We can offer this specialised tint applied directly to lenses in our optical laboratory. Yellow tints are also highly fashionable.
 

React-to-Light lenses now come in Brown and Grey when fully reacted to the sun and UV light. These lenses react and get darker to UV when outdoors, but lighten to virtually no colour at all when in doors or lower light or UV conditions. We supply these within a day or so at our Optical laboratory. We also specialise in Transition lenses that will react behind the car windscreen, often worn by professional drivers and available within a few days.

We supply Polarised lenses which are Grey or Brown. These lenses are very useful if you want to cut out most of the glare, for example, if you fish or sail and are around water, where the glare from the water surface is high. The difference in clarity of vision is very noticeable.
