How to Choose Lens Color for Eyewear

If you have ever been biking, hiking or skiing through the woods, you know it is important to see objects in the shadows. With the correct lens color for your glasses or ski goggles, you will know if that shadowy object is a charging grizzly or just a tame rock.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Contacts/ Eyeglasses

1. Choose a mirrored lens on sunny days for solar and snow glare protection.

2. Choose a gold-colored lens as an all-around versatile lens capable of providing contrast in most conditions.

3. Choose a rose-colored lens for increased definition and contrast in low-light and flat-light situations.

4. Choose a pale yellow lens for activities during low-light periods - dawn and dusk.

5. Choose a clear lens for activities such as night skiing or biking.

Tips & Warnings

• Many sunglasses and ski goggles have interchangeable lenses for use in varied conditions.
• If you want the most bang for your buck, choose an all-around color such as gold or dark rose for your lenses. Both will apply to many different light conditions.

on 11/22/2005 Sometimes it's not easy to find yellow goggles. So, go to a gun shop and try on some yellow glasses there. There are even "fit-overs" if you wear eyeglasses. I use these and have given some to my friends, because they are less expensive.
