To reduce eye strain on bright days, polarised polarised sunglasses are wise option to diminish reflected glare from other cars, the road surface or nearby water, ice or snow.

Sunglasses with grey, brown or green tinted lenses have the least affect on your colour perception. For driving, any of these lens colours are suitable for detecting traffic and brake lights whilst protecting your eyes from UV light and reducing visual fatigue as you focus on the road. Save money by reducing energy consumption for cooling during summer and heating required in winter. You know you should never skip sunscreen, but layering on moisturizer, SPF, and foundation can feel like a lot—and, during rushed mornings especially, sun protection easily falls to the wayside in favor of hydration and some necessary coverage. The best tinted sunscreens come in handy for this very reason, because they offer some skin-evening magic while providing SPF protection—cutting out the need for additional products. If the sun-kissed, dewy finish of Sun Tint isn’t enough to transport you to exotic summer evenings, its fresh floral scent leaves the skin smelling like the island of your dreams (presuming that dream involves coconuts, argan, fresh fruit, and lots of florals).Lustig adds that “this trusty tint might be the only product I use every day regardless of season or context. Oily-skin girlies, don’t let the cushiony texture deter you! The formula is hydrating enough to glide over dry patches and problem areas, but within minutes it dries down to a semi-matte finish with surprisingly substantial coverage.” Mirror tinted sun lenses are primarily grey, brown or green with an additional metallic lens coating. This very thin metallic layer informs it’s externally mirrored colouration, whilst the tint colour is what you experience internally looking through the lens. The metallic coating reflects sunlight away from the lens reducing visible light between 10 and 60% to help diminish glare. These lenses are not polarised.

The most common colour of polarised sun lenses is grey, brown or green as they perform well in the majority of light conditions. Grey tints are usually favoured due to their neutrality as they don’t affect colour perception. Other tint colours are available, however colour distortion and extreme changes in light conditions may impede their performance. For specific light conditions or sporting applications, yellow, blue or red tinted lenses can enhance visual acuity and contrast. Net Positive benefit can be achieved by the application of window film and measurement of a building’s energy usage. Positive if the environmental impact avoided during the use stage is greater than the product’s impact from raw material to installation. For recreational everyday use, you can use grey, brown or green lenses for just about any sort of task. Their tint darkness won’t improve UV protection, but can be tailored for your visual comfort depending on your sensitivity to visible light.Meet the Experts: Mona Gohara, M.D., associate clinical professor of dermatology at the Yale School of Medicine, Joshua Zeichner, M.D., board-certified dermatologist at Zeichner Dermatology, Debra Jaliman, M.D., board-certified dermatologist based in New York City, Shari Marchbein, M.D., board-certified dermatologist based in New York City, and Rebecca Kazin, M.D., board-certified dermatologist at Icon Dermatology & Aesthetics.
