Prescription tinted lenses
Powered lenses with a fixed tint — glare control, sharp vision, great for driving and outdoor life. Unlike photochromics, the shade stays as designed.
Fixed color
Stable density — not UV-dependent like photochromics.
Matched to your Rx
Tinted after surfacing — works with SV, progressive, and astigmatism designs.
Many shades
Grey, brown, green, gradients… for driving, sport, or style.
What are prescription tints?
These are corrective lenses with a stable dyed tint — like prescription sunglasses, but hue and density are chosen for your needs. Ideal for daytime driving, outdoor work, or personal style instead of UV-triggered darkening.

Controlled dye bath; gradients, dual tones, or densities per your order.
Photochromic
Light-adaptive lenses
Material changes under UV — clear indoors, darker outside. A different choice; not a full substitute when you need always-on tint.

How we tint lenses
Lenses are tinted after power surfacing in a temperature-controlled line. Dwell time and chemistry set color and density; each pair is checked for left–right match.

- 01
Mix dye
Dyes are weighed to formula and dissolved in a temperature-controlled tank.
- 02
Soak lenses
Semi-finished lenses soak for a set time to reach target color and density.
- 03
Gradients & specials
Gradients, dual tones, or custom fades when designed.
- 04
Rinse — coat — QC
Rinsed, hard-coated if needed, and checked under daylight before handoff.

- People in prescription glasses who drive or spend time in sun.
- Anyone who wants glare relief without separate plano sunglasses or contacts.
