The "Rue Duroc" with the light tint is very beautiful, and it's quite amazing how it transforms into a photochromic lens.

[@thespectaclefactory]

Yeah, that one was the standout from a very large collection the client had

[@RuiArtur]

Wow, so many stunning frame/tint combinations. That L'Écurie frame is very stylish indeed.

[@thespectaclefactory]

Thanks! I love them

[@user-td4hq6gb1h]

Robert. I said it earlier you are not a master but a headmaster in creating absolutely amazing and beautiful eyewear. 👏

[@thespectaclefactory]

It's so kind of you to say. Thank you, but I feel like there is much more for me to learn and share with my audience

[@user-td4hq6gb1h]

Yes. Everyone has to learn - some by listening and some by experiencing. I have personally learned so much from your channel that opticians at times are amazed at my knowledge.

[@allyirvine7537]

I’ve learned so much that I didn’t have a clue about with this series on tints! I can truly say this will change my approach to choosing glasses in future. All the glasses you’ve showcased are simply stunning and you have such enthusiasm for the subject, it’s a pleasure to watch.

[@thespectaclefactory]

Thanks! I hope I keep on inspiring you

[@bybyronlrossjr]

Wish you all had a US store!

[@DBSites]

I second that!!!

[@nickgreenspan877]

Location does not need to be an issue: Ordering via a virtual fitting from Robert is a fantastic experience. Highly recommended. He is amazingly skilled at helping find right frames and tint through an on video call

[@HGRELEdmonton]

A virtual consultation with Robert is great but, if you have the means and the time, make the effort to visit in person. Only 45 minutes from Manchester airport and they put you up in a nearby hotel for a night. The store is awesome, you can try on EVERYTHING and Robert and his team really do go above and beyond to ensure your experience is satisfying and memorable.

[@thespectaclefactory]

Thinking about it!

[@lindakuo88]

This is pure entertainment for me. Mind blowing expertise and style.

[@agnesolsvik]

When people stare at your glasses, that's when you realise you've got something unique and very different from everyone else's. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

[@AwsamNick]

Wow. Just wow. I wish you guys were in the US. I have struggled for so long with things like photochromic lenses that I would like, but I am always just stuck with Transitions. I have an order of Nike Flyfrees coming in, but they are stuck with Transitions Xtraactive, which, while decent, is, like you have said many times before, is stuck with grey and brown. I really wish I could have a beautiful green or blue that could match some of the great color options the Flyfrees come in, while also being able to wear these inside as well. Really, this is amazing.

[@thespectaclefactory]

That means a lot, thank you

[@HGRELEdmonton]

So many great tint choices! Not something I would have considered before dealing with you but, now I want tint on every pair. The brown adaptive sun looks nice in the Masunaga frame. 🙂

[@thespectaclefactory]

It does, doesn't it 😉 Those are yours you know!

[@HGRELEdmonton]

@@thespectaclefactory I thought they might be.

[@adamvukovic1601]

It would be great for Zeiss to have Purple flash coating tint as soon as possible.

[@thespectaclefactory]

I agree, although the Ruby does look kind of purple when combined with a blue tint

[@kennchri]

Amazing, just amazing so well composed every pair is 🤩

[@thespectaclefactory]

Glad you think so!

[@paparazzina1]

Robert, thank you for this on tints

[@thespectaclefactory]

You're welcome, thought of you whilst filiming it!

[@thegardencity92]

I love this channel recommends and showcases tints. Most opticians I visit in my city advise against tints. Iam assuming most people don't find them as practical and get the wrong tint color and percentage for what they need. Possibly leads to more dissatisfied customers. Since I still have multiple pairs of unstinted lenses in frames already, i have been looking to add tinted lenses for my next few pairs, drawing inspiration from this channel. I was looking for colors that add contrast to my vision (I love brown and blue tinted sunglasses for this reason). I recently found a spot where all the opticians there are very fond of tints and all wear them. I was so happy they wanted to help me pick the right tints for myself and add something different, more bold, and more unique to my collection

[@davidhunternyc1]

Consumers put thought into their frames but not into their lenses. Many opticians won't focus on maximizing the lense type for your needs. If they can make a couple hundred dollars selling lesser quality lenses, that's what they will do and not tell you. You must be your own advocate. It's sad, but I've learned that when shopping for eyewear the glass is half empty, not half full.

[@thespectaclefactory]

That is a great point

[@irenefornchor7598]

Very lovely glasses Robert. Can't wait to get a pair from the spectacle factory

[@thespectaclefactory]

Can't wait to help you!

[@natureins4644]

Super cool tints!

[@thespectaclefactory]

🙏

[@akahina]

You've inspired me over time, and all my newer glasses have a tint. I have a red tint, a custom lavender with pink added, a pair with copper / orange tint, and I just ordered the new Transitions Gen S ruby with a light brown gradient and flash gold mirror. Also on order, a heavy orange acetate frame with a level 2 G-15 tint.

[@thespectaclefactory]

That makes me really happy. Would love to make more for you

[@TheVelvetRoom-ul7gx]

Seams as if your only limited by your imagination. That said rather than try to pack everything into one pair. If you can afford it, have different glasses for different situations. Although a fixed SV with a photo fusion blue looks perfect.

[@thespectaclefactory]

That would certainly be cool. And it can be done! Hope you're having a great week

[@patrickklein2765]

The Masunaga frames and lens solutions you have been showing recently are just spectacular! Real stand outs and very, very elegant. Looking for a provider in the States, that carries Masunaga line.

[@thespectaclefactory]

Thank you! I love showcasing Masunaga. By the way, we've already shipped dozens of Masunaga orders to clients in the US.

[@patrickklein2765]

@@thespectaclefactory Awesome. I should just work through you for Masunaga.

[@sol2009200991]

Robert thank you for the video explaining about the tints, and don’t you get dizzy or headache for wearing these different glasses with different prescriptions in one video?

[@thespectaclefactory]

Kind of. Luckily I just need to look towards the camera and don't have to really focus on anything 😂

[@remicoco]

I want to get a new pair of glasses every time I watch your videos. Cartier fan here, but that L’Écurie pair is very impressive.

[@thespectaclefactory]

Luckily for you I'll just keep making you more

[@pebblehoppertj]

Daniel here... I love my RLR sweet violet.

[@thespectaclefactory]

Hey! So glad to hear that

[@KS1TV]

When's the next show your collection? I've become an eyewear enthusiast and love your content, now I want to flex 😂

[@TheKristenCardiasmenosProject]

Love this video!

[@thespectaclefactory]

Thank you!!

[@leiyue812]

Great video as always! Quick question, what is the difference between adaptive sun lens vs. custom tint lens with photofusion? Thanks

[@mikes41720]

For rimless frames with square lenses, would you personally prefer a solid colored tint or would a gradient (35%-20%) look good as well?

[@thespectaclefactory]

That's a tough one. Mine all have gradients...

[@steveb4012]

Do the adaptive sun brow polarised have anti reflection coating? Cheers, all interesting stuff.

[@thespectaclefactory]

Yep! Would be glad to make you a pair

[@saadismailimhamdi8964]

Hi Robert, which flash coating did you choose for the L'ecurie ones? I'm thinking of buying my first green adaptivesun pair in a gold aviator frame and was hoping for some tips on flash coating/treatment to go with. All the best!

[@thespectaclefactory]

Hey! We'd love to help you with this. Maybe drop me an email and we can make your perfect pair with Adaptive Sun. In my L'Ecurie pair, I went for Ruby

[@thomaswelsh4320]

Loving the video's Sir , have learned so much over last few weeks. One question tho,can zeiss high index 1.74 lenses be tinted ?. I have very high prescription, so 1.74 is a must for me. Cheers Rob

[@Legend_Face]

I wish you would talk more about the tiny percentages. Because I have no idea what to order. Do I want 20%? Or 60%?

[@KFC-Warrior]

Hello Robert. I've been over indulging in your videos recently and i have to say its been very educational. Might i make a suggestion for a video idea? As i recall from one of your videos you are a Hideo Kojima fan, which leads me to believe you have some experience gaming. If so i'm sure you know that us glasses users who frequently game also tend to use headphones and its always been a challenge picking the most comfortable frames for headphone users. Perhaps you could make a short video going through some tips on choosing glasses for such users?

[@tomjamison3126]

Hi Robert! Thanks so much for this channel; I'm gaining wonderful insights! I'm about to purchase a pair of L.A. Eyeworks Blakey's in the brown tortoise (Tight Tokyo I think it's called). With that color frame, what subtle tint would you recommend? Never done a tint before, so I think maybe a 20%. You have me hooked on blue for comfort and calming, but I might save that for another pair. What to do with the Tight Tokyo's though? Thanks again, and keep up the great work!

[@Arjun-Vlogs4623]

Can we add both (Blue/Grey 40% tint with photochromic lenses )? Is this possible ? Pls reply

[@enkhmunkhn]

hello there! I am a middle school student who is thinking about getting tinted glasses next time. What is the best tint color for wearing all the time indoors and outdoors? Also, I spend a few hours on screen.

[@agnesolsvik]

I became aware of that we can get tinted lenses and photochromic lenses all in one lens, when I watched this video for the first time. That's what I would get if I were you. Contact the spectacle factory and they'll help you set up a video consultation, if you are located elsewhere than in the UK. I've ordered all my glasses from Norway. All the best! 🙂

[@cosmoguarriellojr7822]

How do I achieve an amber tint?

[@lemonice2885]

Robert do you know if the chillout green by Zeiss looks any good?

[@thespectaclefactory]

Um... it can do, but only with very specific frame options. Pistachio is a tint I choose far more option for my clients

[@lemonice2885]

@@thespectaclefactory Alright, thank you Robert. Very appreciated!

[@spicytango]

Is it possible to retro spray anti glare inner lens?

[@EvaJohnson-eb4on]

I have a Dita Embra brushed rose gold and silver frame. I was thinking maybe a 25% blue gradient with silver flash and grey photochromic. What do you think?

[@pedrogaitan227]

Thank you for your videos..... would a 60% to 30% gradient tint be a better choice than a 70% to 30% to see clearer indoors?

[@thespectaclefactory]

Yes, it would. But personally, I think 50% is the max for consistent indoor use

[@Dead_Link1]

Do all of these lenses have anti reflective coatings?

[@thespectaclefactory]

Yes

[@stephenbiggar4524]

Love your vlogs. I have a question about Porsche Design P8951. You mentioned in a previous video that they stopped manufacturing at 500. I have pair 553. Do you know exactly how many they manufactured?

[@Kapildev_N._Pol]

Sir what is the actual configuration of cartier (C de Cartier), You Told it has sweet violet tint , Sapphire coated & photochromic, but which photochromic is it

[@hockeygoal24]

Are you familiar with “SALT Yukon” frame in Matt Black? Can you recommend an Adaptive Sun lens color??

[@darrenpeters6426]

I have only seen ZEISS mauve tint here. It is not offered in the color catalog; only sweet violet, sunset violet or pretty pink.

[@thespectaclefactory]

That's right. It's a custom colour we created with Zeiss

[@Alec_Collins78]

O don't want to change glasses to drive at night (unless I keep my night driving glasses in the car which i I gather isn't advised), so I'm questioning my need for a tint as opposed to some kind of photochromic lense. The latter seems more versatile to me.

[@thespectaclefactory]

Seems like you're thinking in terms of only having one pair of glasses. That can be quite a limiting perspective on your enjoyment of eyewear. But a light tint (up to 25%) is suitable for night driving, so you don't have to worry. And you can always add photochromic to that as well, if you want

[@Alec_Collins78]

@@thespectaclefactory I want to have two or three pairs but, lazy as it sounds, I don't want to make sure I change glasses to drive. I want each pair to be pretty versatile. But that's well worth knowing, thanks.

[@bentley-ny]

Can you make Cartier glasses with high - prescription really thin?

[@2Bluzin]

I am always leery about flash coatings. I like the way they look, but all the ones I have seen end up being reflective on the back side which is really desecrating. Especially if they have a light tint to them or happen to be phototropic.

[@2Bluzin]

@@agnesolsvik Well he probably has a way to do the backside non-reflective, but I have bought other decent priced name brand sunglasses off the self that have this problem.

[@adriantapia5407]

i have a question does sunglasses fade? of often would be recomendable to change them or they are forever as long as they're not broke

[@thespectaclefactory]

They only fade if they are bad quality. Otherwise the UV protection should last forever

[@gj7392]

Do you rate Roka sunglasses?

[@mintolive8253]

Robert, are u working out? 😊

A white glare on the video, not from my glasses though.

Nice video , the Panther de Cartier with the blue do you sell this model , regards Rene

[@liamkelly5850]

Is that the cherry blossom I see???

[@robertschneider2189]

I want people to look at me and not the tint of my glasses. One must be careful with tints, especially a business person. Our appearance conveys much about us, especially when it comes to first impressions.

[@torqueofthedevil8145]

depends what business you're in or how self conscious you are really

[@thespectaclefactory]

I tend to agree, and some of my favourite tints I don't wear at work for this reason... but a 25% tint or less you can easily get away with, and it makes you look better with more comfortable vision throughout the day

[@torqueofthedevil8145]

@@thespectaclefactory Robert the glaases you wear are the for distance vision or do you wear varificals for multiples distances? Just wondered
