Lens Tints and Coatings

Smoke, Gray and Gray-Green tints: The most common type of lens color. Transmits all colors evenly without changing value of color. Light enough not to impair vision, yet dark enough to provide overall protection from glare. Excellent for bright sunny days.

Copper or Brown lens tints: Especially good at blocking the blue light commonly found in diffused light such as one might experience on a cloudy day. Amber can improve both contrast and depth perception, and is a good all-around choice if you live in an area with changeable weather patterns.

Yellow or Amber tints: High Intensity" tint for maximum sight performance during low light driving. Excellent for Night riding, overcast, haze, or fog conditions.

Rose tints: Help block blue light, thereby improving contrast. Maximum light and glare protection. Offers high contrast and very soothing to the eyes. Improves road visibility. Many people feel that rose tinted lenses are more comfortable for long periods of time than other lenses.

Mirror Lenses: Good at blocking glare without changing color perception. Quality mirror coatings are effective, but beware of very cheap mirrored sunglasses, as they may trick your eyes into allowing harmful radiation into the interior of the eye.

Polarized: When sunlight bounces off a reflective surface such as glass, water or snow, the result is glare. Glare can be much brighter than the light that caused it, and can irritate or even damage the unprotected eye. Polarized lenses block vertically-reflected light by horizontally aligning the crystalline structure of the lens. This makes them ideally suited for use around water, snow, and for driving. Avoid cheap polarized glasses, because poorly matched lenses may result in eye strain. Polarized lenses eliminate glare (which causes eye fatigue, discomfort, and temporary blurring of vision) and allows for the natural perception of color; no compromise of reds, greens, and yellows.

UV Protection

Our sunglasses provide the industry standard UV 400 eye protection which protects 100%. All Sunglass Man sunglasses are warranted by the manufacturer to meet or exceed applicable U.K. Government standards for ultraviolet protection and impact resistance.

Hints

Wear your sunglasses on a cord, or chain around your neck. You'll avoid leaving them behind carelessly.

If you're in and out of the sun constantly, like a delivery driver, a cord is a must, or you’ll have to be putting your sunglasses away all the time.

Remove glasses gently from your face with two hands. This will prevent the frame from becoming bent and curved.

Wearing sunglasses on the top of your head can stretch the frames.

Don't leave sunglasses with plastic frames on the dashboard of your car on a hot day. You don't want your sunglasses to "melt" and lose their form.

Storage

It's always best to place your sunglasses in a case when you aren't wearing them. Not only will it help in preventing them from becoming scratched, but it will also protect them from accidentally breaking, like someone sitting on them.

Avoid placing your glasses without a case in your purse or pocket. Keys or combs can easily scratch them.

When not using a case, do place your sunglasses on folded temples with the frame facing upward if you leave them on a table or any other hard surface.

Cleaning

Clean dust and lint from your lenses with a soft cloth. An excellent suggestion is the Micro Fiber cloth, which we stock in all of our stores. Using Micro Fiber will ensure that the lenses do not become scratched.

To remove smudges, oils, and/or fingerprints, we recommend using a lens cleaner or washing the lenses with a mild soap and water. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.

To prevent scratches, never use your fingers or fingernails to remove a spot on the lens surface, and never clean your sunglasses with a rough fabric such as wool or denim. More than likely, they'll get scratched.
