- In this video we show a custom lens color transformation we created. We added Blue Bell light blue indoor lens tint to a Transitions XTRActive Brown lens. The results it a beautiful fashion tint that can be worn indoors and at night that changes to dark brown in sunlight.

This is beautiful 🎉
Thank you!
This is amazing!! I have a few questions, though: What % tint is the light blue tint? Can you make it gradient over transitions, and can you customize clear lenses that were made elsewhere? Have found if a tinted lens can help those with ocular albinism and nystagmus read better, by creating more contrast?
The Blue Bell color is about 30%, or what we would call a category 1 darkness. It is designed to be worn indoors. We can make it gradient over transitions. We can only tint new lenses. Attempting to tint lenses already made is risky because the lenses can be damaged.
Would you be able to tell me what lab you use to produce this? My local optician said they had one lab that might do a fashion tint on a transitions mirror finish, but it sounded like they weren't sure.
I just bought my essilor xtractive transitions lense . On the lense cover it says " Rx SV 1.5 XTV2.0 GGRN Crizal Shr " . Is this the orginal transition xtractive ??
Love this!! Is the base blue tint 10-15% or 30%? It appears there is no flash coating on top. Also will the blue tint base have AR on front? I understand if Flash coating is added, AR won't be there on front.
I may stop by your store this thursday to see few tint options. I am driving from out of town and you guys are wicked cool in tinting options!! I was trying to see some tint options on JMM Ichikawa and Taos Hopper.
I would describe the baser tint as closer to 20 to 30%. There is no flash mirror, and there is a full AR on front and back. I would love to help you explore the various tint and mirror options that we have here at the store. I look forward to meeting you on Thursday! -Daniel Brunson
I have four types brown green grey and plain one which has magnetic green colour which I use while driving my car
that's fab!! just wondering could it be around 15% tint or 25% gradient into mirror effect?
and may I know the brand of the lens?
cheers
Thank you! We used an Autograph Intelligence in Transitions XTRActive Brown. Tints and mirrors can be customized in almost any way you like.
Hi, could you technically do this to a pair of finished eyewear, I am thinking of getting extractive and would like a light yellow on top. I'm in the UK, is that possible?
Hello Robert. We can definitely do this for you. Please feel free to send an email to daniel@hicksbrunson.com and we can discuss the specifics.
I have transitions xtractive grey with sapphire blue mirror. Are they supposed to have a yellow color when they aren’t active? When they darken they look just like my older xtractive grey glasses.
Yes, with that combo you will see a yellow color especially when you place the lenses face down on white paper. Colored mirrors will always cause a color shift. I covered this topic in a video. Check it out here: czcams.com/video/Ag29dB3G8vM/video.html
I work for an eye dr and the lab we use is hoya but when I tried ordering lenses with a blue tint and transition extra active they said they cant do that. Do you know why they would say that? It was a hi index 1.67, single vision lens. Any hwlpful tips would be appreciated!
Hi Cori. My suggestion is to look for an alternative than can do it.
>This is truly amazing. I ordered fairly new technology which is a custom bi-gradient tint, orando on top and yellow on the bottom, and they are photochromic to brown but NOT transitions Xtractive. Xtractive gets darker in the car and whenever there's a little sunlight which i love. Would u be able to do a bi-gradient tint?
Yes, we can do a bi-gradient tint. Just let us know what you are looking to do and we can help.
LOVE the added Blue-Tint concept. Is the application of the Tint on the RX Lenses the same intensity as the shade on the Demo Lens?
Thanks! The answer is yes. The intensity or shading or darkness level, whichever you want to call it was matched to the tint sample.
@@HicksBrunsonEyewear Nice!! Thanks for the feedback. I'll be adopting this design to a pair of Lenses for myself very soon.
Apologies if this has already been asked, but can tints be used with Transitions XTRActive POLARIZED lenses? I have been using these lenses for the last year and absolutely love them, but it would be even better if my next pair of glasses could include a tint. Thanks.
Absolutely! We have done it, and we will do it again! Let us know when you are ready.
With this combination of tint and Xtractive, can you add A/R coating to both front and back of the lenses?
Yes, and we did.
Who knows where to get this done in Chicago,IL ?
Hi i am your subcriber from India. I need exactly same but issue is I am in India and can't get from there. Can you guide how to get it done please.?
Can u add 10 % peach tint for indoors to transition Xtractive brown or gold style mirror or blue style mirror lenses ??
Yes, we can do that. I'm happy to help if you want to email your Rx to daniel@hicksbrunson.com
I have a question. I've seen this video and another video where you do a blue gold gradient on a transitions sapphire and I'm trying to get this done at a local optician. However, he said it's very difficult to tint certain types of lenses because of the hard coating on them. He specifically said if the transition lens has an anti reflective coating on it already it would be hard to tint. Can you please give me some insight into this and explain to me your process as well as how you apply coatings? I really want to get this done, but he made it seem like it was a difficult process. Thanks.
Thanks for being a part of the Hicks Brunson Eyewear community here! Maybe you need a new optician? If you have a frame you would like to make lenses for, then we would be happy to help you. Feel free to reach out by phone (918-743-6478) or email (daniel@hicksbrunson.com).
@@HicksBrunsonEyewear I'm located in Canada so I wouldn't be able to go to you guys directly. I've actually visited another place as well and they more or less gave me the same response. So my question is do I just have to keep looking around to find someone that actually does know how to do this and is it that complicated to do.
Basically I was told that it could be done if there was no additional AR coating on the stock lens. So if I ordered a stock Transitions Lens with no AR coating, then he could manually apply the tint himself and it would work. However, the type of transitions I wanted (i.e the Sapphire colour) was surfaced and already had all the coatings applied at the lab and therefore when sent to him, it would be hard to tint because the colour would not attach well to the coated lens.
Is this an easy process you can share with my optical vendor in Canada?
Unfortunately not. If it were easy so many more would be doing it.
What gradient tint turning to sapphire would look nice on a silver frame?
Blue gradient would look nice.
Given my face shape and colour, what colour & shape of frame as well as transition lens & tint would you suggest for me please? It must hide my puffy eyes indoors?
OUTSTANDING! Great video, I enjoy watching your content. I now have to wear glasses, but I am told that progressive, transition (photo XrtActive 2.0 grey) lenses can not be tinted. They said I would have to have one or the other. Do you accept out of state clients?
They told me the same thing, I really like this idea but....
Hello. They can be tinted and we do tint them. If you are interested in working with us please send an email to daniel@hicksbrunson.com with a copy of your prescription and we can discuss your needs.
Hi I’ve two doubts regarding this.
Can we use this for laptop use. For making it in using laptop what are the things to be done for this spec??
2. Can we control the darkness of the the lens when exposed to sunlight. Suppose if i need light photochromic effect(light brown when exposed to sunlight)
The light blue color can be good for laptop use, but the only way to get light brown for maximum sunlight would be to used a fixed tint that is light brown. Transitions lenses will automatically darken to a dark brown in maximum sunlight.
@@HicksBrunsonEyewear Thanks for the information 😊
Put a ruby flash mirror over the top and that'd be perfect
A nice idea!
I had a tint put on my "Reactions" photochromic glasses in the 1980s.
Trailblazer! :-)
Can I get green indoors and blue outdoors? And how much does it cost?
Hello Andre. Please email a copy of your Rx to daniel@hicksbrunson.com and remind me there the colors that you are interested in, and I will be happy to provide some options.
Can you add a gradient? If so how can you get one? Lens crafters said it couldn't be done.
We can add any manner of tint you want. Solids, gradients, flash mirror coatings...
@@HicksBrunsonEyewear what's your web address?
what’s the make of the black frame ?
The frame I am wearing in the beginning of the video is the Juno. It is from the Masunaga X Kenzo Takada collaboration. It has been hard to get lately. We hope to have in back in stock soon. Send an email to daniel@hicksbrunson.com if you would like to be notified when we have it back in stock.
what percent of tint is durable inside?thanks
The indoor Blue Bell tint is a category 1 darkness, or what we call about 15 to 20%.
@@HicksBrunsonEyewear it was first 30%, then 20-30, now 15%-20%. Let me keep scrolling
i keep telling myself once i get a bit of cash id love to buy some of these lol. for doordashing these would be great for normal glasses to wear around with a blue tint then driving have them help shade the california sun. maybe throw some my way and we can do a sponsorship with my 0 viewers a year 🤣🤣🤣
Great for doordashing or great any driving around town living.
Who would have thought I'd be interested in different frame glasses and which color tint to get lol? im definitely going to have a collection
Oh, it gets addicting when you realize that there are so many possibilities!
What would something like this cost?
Hello, Please send me an email with a copy of your Rx and I will provide the information you need. My email is:

Did you use a CR-39 lens or poly?
We used Trivex.
@@HicksBrunsonEyewear I’m sorry to bother you. I’m a Licensed Optician in Florida and I’m looking to open a more fashion oriented eyewear boutique. I’ve seen several of your videos and was wondering what lab you use for the tinted lenses or if you do it all in house. The labs I have down here don’t provide tints anywhere as nice as the ones you show. If you’d rather not answer, I understand. Thanks for your time.
@@ronaldchacon8451 Hi Ronald. If you would like to so send an email to daniel@hicksbrunson.com we can talk. Best of luck to you!
Where can I buy!?
Hello! Please send an email to daniel@hicksbrunson.com with your prescription and I will help you.
Where can i order this
Please send your Rx to daniel@hicksbrunson.com and we will begin discussing your needs.
Is a blue tint bad for your eyes? Because of blue light and stuff?
Blue tint is not bad. Many people find the blue color soothing. Blue light from screens can cause eye strain for some people, but blue tints will not add to the digital blue light strain. Selecting a tint color is more about personal preference.
Does color theory apply here? Yellow lens plus blue tint equals extremely green lens.
In most cases the base tint color is light enough to be used indoors. Therefore it pretty much gets completely absorbed by the Transitions color when the lens darkens. Any color mixing effects will be completely cancelled out.
link isn’t working
The frame was temporarily out of stock. The link is working now, although we are still of stock on this model. It should be available in the next week or so.
@@HicksBrunsonEyewear Is it the same clear frame with Xtra active and blue tint so I can just order it ?
@@emrecan8527 The frame we will be stocking in the future will be the Black / Gold color with G-15 Polarized lenses. The color from the video is a clear as you said, but it comes with dark brown gradient photochromic lenses. In the video I had made a custom blue tinted lenses that changes to dark brown. If you are interested in ordering that for yourself then please send an email with your Rx to daniel@hicksbrunson.com and I will help you.
ive been getting a yellow tint on grey transitions for like 25 years. it used to be pretty easy to get. even lenscrafters would do it, though...not in an hour. now? now its getting increasingly more difficult to find anyone willing to do it. they will look directly into my eyes...that are wearing them...and tell me its not possible to do, that transitions are incompatible with tints.
its pretty annoying.
i have only one place around here that will still do it.
That is annoying for sure! We are happy to help if you ever need us to make your lenses.
I was told that was not possible is that not true
We have been doing custom lens tints on Transitions lenses for many years now.
The only reason I ask is I watched a lot of your videos before my trip to the eye doctor. And when I asked for tint on top of the active transition lens they told me they couldn't do it. Also thank you by the way for these awesome videos
