Love the education on tinting.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks David, and good idea! Once you combine tints and coatings you get into the realm of almost unlimited possibilities so it would be a challenge to cover everything. Of course I can always give you some personal advice on that. But I'll try to do a video on both together at some point....

[@bartholomewbrecht9880]

I'd love to see a video where you systematically go over the effect of each tint on vision. For example: are blue tints a bad idea for someone sensitive to light? Would it be better to choose a warmer colour? I know you mention orange often as ideal for driving. When should I pick lavender/purple tints, for instance? It would be really useful to have a colour by colour elaboration of the impact from both a style and subjective perspective.

[@fastheartmartvideos]

Wow! Thank You for this video! It's inspiring to know that there are so many options out there for people like me who HAVE to wear glasses :) I think those adaptive sun lenses are the most enticing to me.

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.

Rose is an excellent tint. High contrast and somewhat soothing at the same time. Great for cycling & golf, but still enjoyable to wear for general use.

Depends on the brightness of your environment and how light sensitive you are.

Hi! I've been watching your videos for a while to kind of figure out what my toddler needs. She's 20 months old and she's really light sensitive outdoors or whenever we go that there's fluorescent lights. She wears prescription glasses and I just ordered a rose tinted pair from Axon Optics in the US for bright indoor situations. But I'm still unsure as to what's the best way to protect her eyes. Her outdoor pair of prescription sunnies don't seem enough in some situations. You seem very knowledgeable. What would you recommend in terms of tint and any other add ons for an indoor pair and also an outdoor pair? The information you gave on the mirror coating was very new too me. Thank you so so much! My daughter is too young to tell us what works better for her.

[@thespectaclefactory]

Hi Luisa, Thanks for your comment, and I appreciate your request for help with this... thank you. But it would be inappropriate for me to comment on your young daughter's care. You should consult with an opthalmologist or optometrist locally who can examine her eyes and make the right recommendaion. Dark + mirrored sunglasses may be beneficial in strong sunlight but might also limit her perception of the world.

[@jackesioto]

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.

Hi! There are many, many options that would work with a thin black titanium frame. Maybe we should go more in-depth with a consultation? If you'd like to, email us - [e-mail] We'd love to make custom lenses for you

[@r.j.dannemiller346]

Hello, Robert. I recently subscribed to your channel and I thoroughly enjoy your videos. That being said, I am seeking a pair of eyeglasses that are smart and modern. I like your rounded frame style preference and it would suit my rectangular face shape. I want a color that compliments my fair skin tone which is similar to yours but with pinker cheeks (as you can see in my photo). I am gravitating toward a rimless frame (Silhouettes) that are timeless, affordable and versatile with my wardrobe for all occasions. If I buy a pair of frames, I am thinking dark charcoal grey or a dark chocolate color. Please advise.

[@thespectaclefactory]

I'd love to help style you with your next pair of glasses. Could you email me via [e-mail]. It will be easier to communicate that way or we could even set up a video call if you prefer.

How do tints perform in night traffic lights..what percentage of tint would be recommended for night travel?

[@thespectaclefactory]

No more than 25% tint at night. It's best to have a clear lens

[@hotsriracha_]

Hey - I have a pair of Ahlem acetate frames in black and thinking of trying a first tint; would you recommend a 12% tint or a gradient 25% to 10%? Black or Grey? Enjoy your videos, thanks!

[@thespectaclefactory]

It depends on the shape as to whether solid or gradient, and probably black. Just be careful to not make them too dark. A brown or green tint might make a nice contrast to soften them. Would love to make the lenses for you!

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

[@sarahcid6530]

Question on the photo fusion brown plus Ruby color tint. Is there other colors that could be combined ?

[@thespectaclefactory]

Yeah, lots of colour combinations in fact

[@JensVesterChristiansson-wr4lz]

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]

ZEISS SmartLife lenses with a light Black tint (perfect colour accuracy) - would love to make them for you and ship to Denmark

[@JensVesterChristiansson-wr4lz]

@@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.

@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 :)

What’s the best option for night driving especially against the high beams of the other cars?

[@thespectaclefactory]

Probably Hoya EnRoute Pro

[@raymondding5746]

@@thespectaclefactory more so than drivesafe?

[@thespectaclefactory]

Yes, with the disadvantage being they have a yellowish tint. DriveSafe is great for everyday glasses which are also good for driving at night, whereas Enroute Pro is great for dedicated driving glasses

[@Snehilw]

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.

[@jasonkonstandopoulos8906]

Hello, at 15:36 you have the adaptive sun glasses. Do you have these frames in your store? I would like to purchase the same ones.

[@thespectaclefactory]

One of a kind I'm afraid. But... we have produced the exact same shape in a rimless style (with brow bar) to make it look almost identical - we could do that for you if you like?

[@jasonkonstandopoulos8906]

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

[@lucksimi3320]

Can you recommend a tint for driving at night( to absorb headlights glare) besides yellow

[@thespectaclefactory]

Objectively, a tint is bad for night driving as it forces the pupils to open up further, increasing glare sensitivity, whilst simultaneously reducing light transmission in conditions where you need all the light you can get. I would recommend the DriveSafe lenses I reviewed recently: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4W5hZuJrrZ0jdU&lc=UgykwJZZs0OZBAlcebB4AaABAg Of course, subjectively some people prefer a tint but in every measurable way, a clear lens is better. When you add a glare filter such as DriveSafe, that is the best possible solution, at least using existing technology.

[@lucksimi3320]

@@thespectaclefactoryThanks! i have Zeiss drive safe lenses, it is very clear at night but i still have some glare from the headlights

[@ZubairFaisalAbbasi]

how much difference does it make that one prescription says 170 axis on the right eye while the glasses prepared are 165? Please respond.

[@IanM2698]

Liking your first pair do you stock them? allied works??

[@thespectaclefactory]

No longer in production. I might be able to source one for you if you are really serious. But they are expensive!
