Tint Colours

We offer three unique tint options to suit your preferences: a warm and inviting brown tint, a sleek and neutral grey tint, and a refreshing and vibrant green tint.

Simply reach out to us at hello@glasses2you.co.uk after placing your order, and we'll work closely with you to fine-tune the tint level to your exact preferences.

Mirrored Lenses

Mirrored sunglasses lenses are a popular choice, adding a new dimension to the style of your sunglasses. The mirrored lens effect is created by applying an extremely thin layer of metallic compound to the outside of the sunglasses lens. This reflects light, creating a mirror effect.

Polarised Lenses

Polarised lenses are specially designed eyewear lenses that contain a unique filter that reduces glare and minimises horizontal light waves, which are responsible for intense glare from surfaces like water, roads, and snow. This technology helps improve visual clarity and comfort by blocking out the glare, making polarised sunglasses particularly useful for outdoor activities, driving, and water sports.

Transition Lenses

Transition lenses, also known as Photochromatic lenses are a great solution for people who frequently move from dark to light spaces and want to keep their eyes protected. Transition lenses gradually gain a darker tint as they (and your eyes) are exposed to light. This means you no longer need a seperate pair of glasses when you are in bright areas. Visit our transition lenses page to find out more.

UV Protection

Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can be damaging to our eyes, causing strain, and contributing to long-term health conditions such as cataracts. Ensuring you protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays is incredibly important. Your eye health is our top priority, that's why all our tinted lenses come with full UV protection, helping to avoid eye strain and to shield your eyes from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays.

Ordering your glasses from Glasses2You with a tint is really easy! Any of our frames can be ordered with tinted lenses, so once you have found a frame you like, add it to your basket.
