ANSWERS BEFORE YOU ORDER

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers about this lens type and what to expect when ordering.

Can my sunglasses have a prescription?

Yes, suitable prescription lenses can be made with permanent sun tints or other sun-lens technologies.

What is the difference between tinted and polarised lenses?

A tint reduces overall brightness. A polarised lens additionally targets reflections from surfaces such as roads and water.

Can I choose grey, brown or green?

Royal Specs offers these colours with selected sun options. Availability depends on the chosen lens technology and order.

Do you offer an orange tint?

An orange tint is shown as a fixed-tint colour in the current Lens Studio; suitability depends on your intended use.

Are Transitions the same as sunglasses?

They are photochromic lenses that change tint with lighting. They are not identical to permanently tinted polarised sunglasses.

Can varifocal lenses be tinted?

Some varifocal designs can be combined with tint or other sun options, depending on prescription and compatibility.

Are dark sunglasses safe for night driving?

No. Darkly tinted sunglasses should not be used for night driving.

Can you put sun lenses in my current frames?

Our reglazing service may be able to fit suitable sun lenses in your existing frames, subject to inspection and available lens options.
