those are gorgeous! my latest pair of silhouettes have both the gradient and transitions. pink/sea-glass to amethyst. polarized. they are great fun and i love them , tons of compliments etc....but they are a poor choice for indoor at night. people feel it's difficult to connect with me. they always thank me for taking my glasses off . i wear a different pair at night which is great to switch up anyway because i tire of the nose-pads after a long day anyway.

If you want the green xtra active new gen non polarized 1) can you add polarization coating to them? 2) would polarized film be compatible with the custom tints you talk about?

The only Transitions color available in polarized is XTRActive Grey. Any base tint color can be added to it, but when it darkens it will be Grey Polarized.

Hello There Do you know if Existing (New) Trivex lenses with a blue light coating can be tinted? I made a mistake while ordering these and took the optician advise , can these be tinted Gradient amber or rose ? Or Im I stuck with these and need new lenses? Great channel your advise would be very helpfull!

[@HicksBrunsonEyewear]

Hello, Thank you for watching. Trivex with a blue filter can be tinted, but it most likely is too late to tint after it has already been finished. The reason is that hard coatings and anti-reflective coatings have already been added. Once this is done it is no longer possible to tint.

Does adding a light tint make the transitions color darker and pop more? The sapphire seems more vibrant than usual.

Yes. Most of the time we are making prescription eyeglass lenses with this technology.

[@joejohnson4700]

Is it possible to tint a prescription lens that's already made? Appreciate

[@HicksBrunsonEyewear]

Unfortunately it is not. A lens has to be pre-treated before it can be tinted, and this has to happen before other coatings like scratch coatings and anti-reflective coatings are added. Once these other coatings have been added it can no longer be tinted.

How do things appear when looking through a fashion tint? how do they alter the colours of things you see? and down the road if you get fed up of the tint and want to go back to clear can it be removed or is it the case of having to get new glasses?

[@HicksBrunsonEyewear]

All tint colors except for neutral grey will shade the world in whatever color the tint is. Blue and Green or pretty soothing to most people unless, but everyone is different. The tint can not be removed once applied, so new lenses would have to be made. At our store we never want a client to be unhappy with a tint they have chosen so we have 30 day no questions asked remake option.

[@hibiscusrose6074]

If a client has frames that you may stock would you be able to send the lenses to them overseas uk more specifically?

[@HicksBrunsonEyewear]

That sounds simple, but I have learned over the years that it's best to have the exact frame in my lab that lenses are being made for to ensure proper fit. Even for two frames of the same model and size we would not be able to guarantee a proper fit and therefor this would be too risky to attempt especially sending them overseas.

[@thomasmerrill3335]

Does the tint change the color of the transitions?

[@HicksBrunsonEyewear]

Only for a few moments when the Transitions color is beginning to darken. At a certain point the Transitions color becomes dark enough that it basically over rides the base tint color completely, and there is not a trace of the base tint color left. Is it possible that it changes the color just a tiny bit? Maybe, but not in any real noticeable way that we have seen.

Is that a 25% blue and gold gradient tint?

This is what Ive been looking for! I have several frames Id like to have a non-gradient tint that transition. Is this possible with progressive lenses with prism in them? In addition to those lenses which is a fairly strong prescription, I also wear contacts as well but need to wear glasses with the prism correction with an add for reading (also no-line). Hope that makes sense! ; ) If I cannot find a local optician to do this, I may consider using your services. With my most recent lenses I had done (not tinted) I had a heck of a time with the add being placed correctly and therefore had to have them remade a few times. Its exhausting and frustrating spending decent time & money not to get them correct the first time. Not sure if it was my optician or Shamir.

Nice 👍 On a single color gradient lens, what percent would you suggest to give a nice look with some “concealment” indoors without coming across to dark like a sunglass; 25-30 or so?

[@HicksBrunsonEyewear]

I like to talk in terms of category 1, 2, and 3, with 3 being a full sunglass tint, and 1 being an indoor tint. 1 is just dark enough to be visible by others looking at you, but not so dark as to impede your vision indoors and at night.
