Tints are back in style, but beyond fashion, they have a health benefit, too. By reducing light that enters your eyes, tints add comfort and help reduce eyestrain.

For the ultimate in maintaining your vision during outdoor activities, insist on UV-protection in addition to your tint selection.

• For sunglasses, brown, green or gray works best.

• For hunting, night driving and other activities that require increased contrast, choose yellow tints.

• Activities that rely heavily on depth perception such as piloting an aircraft, amber tints are recommended.

• For office work or other indoor activities with fluorescent lighting, choose a rose or pink tint.

• For a bit of fun, add a subtle tint to your everyday lenses to complement your facial tones and your fashion sense.

• For snow sports, brown tints work best for increased contrast.
