I have Transitions extra-active prescription glasses but I picked frames that come with magnetic clip on polarized lenses. The amber/orange/brown lenses is very good but I switched to smoke/gray for colors. I use Cocoons fit over low light night driving glasses. The lenses is very light yellow thus allow for more light and night visibility while reducing headlight glare. More important than sunglasses and nighttime driving glasses is clean windows. Dirty windows, especially the haze on the interior of the front windshield, will creat more light flares and impair your vision
My opinion: Brown & Green are best every day choices and are very versatile (especially brown). I always go between each of these the most depending on the weather/season. Green is amazing on a very bright sunny day, but brown is too, and even better with clouds than green which can look a little depressing on a cloudy day. Blue & Rose/Violet colors are great too, especially during winter time. However, I feel green is more versatile than blue because it allows more blue light in which helps with contrast and effectively it works as good as blue does at blocking bright light. Rose/Violet colors are exceptional in winter time or where you have a lot of vibrant colours involved. I don't own a pair yet, but I was very impressed with Maui Rose lenses to bring warmth to dark environments.
Blue tinted, blue mirrored, or blue light blocking? Blue light blocking lenses are usually paired with an AR (Anti Reflective) coating which helps to minimize the glare and halo effect created by oncoming headlights. You'll want to avoid a mirrored or dark tinted lens for any night driving.
That's a good question! While we haven't tested this ourselves, generally speaking a rose tint will boost color definition and make greens 'pop' more against a neutral backdrop. If you're able to test out a few tints, let us know what worked best for you!
@@GreatIaker No they have a unique color and are amazing in all conditions. I use them for driving and general wear. I live near the water so they are very effective.
I'm trying to decide on lenses color for driving I have the blue lenses in my costas for fishing but when I drive it throws my depth perception off and gives me a headache so would I need a higher contrast lense or lower
Hmmm, the problem may be due to polarization, which can often affect depth perception. A non-polarized rose or bronze base will boost contrast and give an extra 'pop' to the color tones in your surroundings. Unfortunately, Costa does not offer non-polarized lens options but if the problem stems from lens material, and you don't have glass lenses currently in your costas, give them a try. Glass is heavier than poly or trivex, but glass also provides the clearest vision with the smallest amount of distortion, which may help alleviate issues with headaches and depth perception.
@@sportrxeyewear thank u for reply yea my costas have the older 480 lenses I believe that are not glass I'm gonna go with the maui jim rose glass lenses in the stone shack frames
