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
Still have questions about lenses for your driving sunglasses? Comment down below and we'd love to help you out!
I literally just ordered some polarized prizm oakley portal Xs for driving from you guys the other day!
Literally?
Pilots should be aware that they can’t wear polarized due to the instruments
Thanks for the heads up.... 😷
All of the videos from SportRX that I have watched have been valuable from the standpoint of technology, fit, and style. Thanks very much !

Light sensitivity lenses would be a good topic.
I liked red when I was skiing. I read that it's also good for driving... but is yellow better ?
If you're operating a motor vehicle on a public road please use your indicator before turning.
Trail prizm, my choice for driving.
A blue set of Safety glass's I find are great at night.

Amber impars blue color , changes it to green
red tinted lens are not recommended - in my case turns amber lights green (signs or interior switches/symbols)
Thanks SportRx for the video. Can we get a review on the Maui Jim Acetate MJ02124 in the Stormy grey and Stormy brown eye glasses?
I'm checking with Graham to make sure this has been or is in the schedule to be shot. I'll make sure we get it done! Thanks for watching!
@@sportrxeyewear Oh yes, I'm subscribed, such a great channel! You don't have a current video on them, I'll keep watch!!
What lens would make a green laser stand out more in sunlight? I’m a pipe layer and at times it gets tough trying to find my laser

Nice
what about blue lens or red miror for driving?..
Both great options! The base tint is the most important consideration as that is the biggest factor when it comes to clarity and contrast.
Serengeti sedonas or drivers are the best.Prefer the sedonas.
100% agreed
Do you find the Sedona lens dark for general use? Serengeti say they are for very bright light conditions.
@@GreatIaker No they have a unique color and are amazing in all conditions.

I think all Serengeti lenses are great for driving
