3. DARK OR COLORED LENSES?
While very dark lenses may look cool, they do not necessarily block more UV rays.
Although polarized lenses offer the best sun glare protection, some opt for tinted lenses instead. These tints are applied to sunglasses lenses to help absorb light as it passes through them. The color chosen is a matter of personal taste, but there are a few important color-related benefits to consider.
Some sunglasses come with amber, green or gray lenses. They do not block more sun but can increase contrast, which may be useful for athletes who play sports such as baseball or golf.
Mirror coatings (also called flash coatings) are highly reflective coatings applied to the front surface of sunglass lenses to reduce the amount of light entering the eye. This makes them especially beneficial for activities in very bright conditions, such as snow skiing on a sunny day.
SO, COLORED DOES NOT MATTER!
