Many thanks, been searching for "how much are prescription sunglasses lenses?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Rayemiron Uncommunicative Release - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a smashing one off guide for discovering how to improve your eyesight naturally without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got excellent results with it.
This is glorious, I been tryin to find out about "what are the best varifocal lenses" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Rayemiron Uncommunicative Release - (do a search on google ) ? It is a great one of a kind product for discovering how to improve your eyesight naturally without the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my neighbour got excellent success with it.
Serengeti 555nm glass lens Green tint
Glad for this video. Went to website, never knew they had this CZcams channel. Now I can feel comfortable ordering from them, they sound very legit and honest to customer
Incredibly helpful thanks for making this video. I appreciate all the work that went into this.
You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the kind words!
Excellent information! All specs were broken down in layers which greatly supports communication about the important effects of blocking UV Rays, Blue Light Spectrum, and Bright Light conditions. TY!
Bausch+Lomb developed the G-15 tint in the early/mid 30's at the request of the Army for pilots. During that time aircraft were reaching higher altitudes and pilots were experiencing a number of problems due to the increased uv, blue light, and such. The green added to the neutral base worked to control the issues without causing a heavy color shift. I could be wrong but I believe that the lens and the aviator sunglasses were patented in 1936 or so. The trademark RayBan also came into existence around this time.
In the 1950's Bausch+Lomb again working with the military developed their B-15 tint which boosted contrast. I'm lucky enough to have a pair of Aviators that were given to me by a friend who's dad wore them through his service in WW-2.
Great information. I've been searching for my next pair of lenses (I'm light sensitive) and this info has been perfect. Think I'll be ordering my next pair from you guys.
Thank you so much for watching and we love the idea that we may get the opportunity to help you out!
Hi Joshua,
WHat did you end up getting: I am also Light Hypersensitive with Neurological issues and Asperger's, I am looking at Wiley X and was hoping for Grey Base Red Mirror, but that does not seem to be available in Europe or teh UNITED KINGDOM...
@@williamduplooy I'm also photosensitive and found the Maui Jim green mirror thin cristal the best ones, try them if you have the chance
I got "sunburned eyes" once while frequently wearing wayfarer type sunglasses outside all day while working. They were polarized, gray/black tint. Went to a doc who basically said get a better pair of sunglasses that blocks more light on the sides of your eye, and are stamped/tested to filter out %99+ uva/uvb. Also suggested I try a non polarized lens unless specifically needing to stare into polarized light for long periods (fishing etc...), don't get glasses that are very light or very dark, and if possible get something with a blue/green tint because it will naturally reflect back the higher frequency light. It was said that too dark can be bad in some instances because your pupil will naturally dilate to compensate and in turn, let in more light.
So anyways, I got some blue/green lens, non polarized wrap around style glasses, went back to work, and my bloody looking eyes cleared up. Never have had an issue with it since. I got baby blue eyes, and pretty much have to wear glasses sun up to sun down.
Interesting
Base curve 8 or 9 is what you want for actual sun protection. Period.
So ironic I found this comment. I bought of a pair of Oakley Frogskins this year. Loved the look and feel of them. But same problem. I’d be out all day long and my eyes just felt burnt and tired. Which is strange because I got polarized Prizm lenses in this so I couldn’t understand why this was happening. Until I finally put my glasses on for a drive and the sun was on the left side of my car and I finally realized how much of a gap between my frame and my eyes there was. I bought a pair of Flak Jacket 2.0 XL’s and BAM…….problem immediately vanished.
I ordered Oakley Flak 2.0 XL Prism Sapphire Polarized Customs a few days ago. The delivery delay just got shorted by a week so I’m so excited to get them in 3 days.
That's great! Let us know how you like them.
SportRx I just got them 3 days ago and they are so amazing. It’s hard to describe what the prizm looks like. It makes everything so vibrant and high contrast. The material is high quality. Worth every penny. Also, one question. I didn’t see the etched PRIZM P in the bottom right lens. Is that because they are custom? Because I know that they are prizm and polarized.
@@vic.joe.lee06 The custom program is definitely different from the stock product. They do not have the same lens etchings, for sure. We're stoked you like them!
I have grey in my clubmasters and green g15 in my Wayfair . I like them both .
I work outside in Texas heat, what color polarized lens would be best for out in the heat/sun while working and servicing and maintenance on pools? About to buy some sunglasses need to know what color polarized is best for me?
I am looking for new (prescription) sunglasses. In basic I want to use them for everyday use like driving but I also would like them to be suitable for sports like mountainbiking. I have a pair of POC sportsglasses with inserts but if I am able to use my ‘standard’ sunglasses for mountainbiking that would be nice. I have my eye on a pair of Holbrooks. Which (Prizm/Polarized/non-polarized) would you recommend to be best. I don’t really like dark glasses so I don’t have to switch glasses all the time while driving and the sun comes out and disappears all the time.
I've got 2 grey, 2 bronze, and 1 rose based lens sunglasses. There's a time and place for all of them. For driving through the mountains I prefer my grey based lens, for driving around the city I prefer my bronze based lenses, for being at the beach or maybe just going for a little hike somewhere, love my rose based lens. But really I could use them all in any of those scenarios. One thing I have noticed though, if it's overcast but still bright enough for shades, I can't see all that great with bronze or rose based lenses. For some reason I can see quite well with grey based lenses when it's overcast with no visible sunshine.
Hey, Steve - thank you for your feedback! It's rad that you have that you can speak to your experience, having all those different lens colors! You are in a unique position having experience with all of those colors. We would love to help you out if we can with replacing those lenses! You can always reach out to us via email (info@sportrx.com) or by phone (888-831-5817). Thanks again!
Thanks, Tyler!
Ray ban rb3598 is offering grey gradient lenses should I go for it 🤔
Thoughts on blue tinted polarized lenses?
Respected Sir/ Madam,
I would like to know few details about problem faced by my son regarding Chronic light sensitivity, headache and nerve pull in his body when he focus on light or opens his eye and visualise surrounding.
He used power glass and black coated sunglass. But still his severity has increased very badly.
Can you please let me know if their is any treatment for this issue as he is finding very difficulty to travel around including at home....
Thanks & Regards
Mano
Oakley's sapphire prizm polarized for bright days. Snowing i go Oakley's daily polarized prizm in my badmans, for fishing Oakley's split shot shallow, rainy days daily prizm polarized by Oakley of course. Cheers
Nice selection! Thanks for sharing your favorites with us!
I’m a fan of black iridium, but I just bought the clifdens with prizm snow black! Gold iridium
is also go
OOOOoooo nice choice, Joe! PRIZM Snow Black will definitely have you covered on bright days!
Hey joe is the black iridium dark enough to cover your eyes from being seen by other people.
Alec....definitely dark enough!
THANK YOU, GREAT HELP!!!
You're welcome!
Hey there! Really enjoy your channel, keep up the great work! You really helped me finding the perfect goggles last year (I went for the Oakley Fall-line). So I’ve been wondering if you could maybe help me making up my mind! I’m looking for Oakley glasses which are perfect for activities on and at the water (Kajak, SUP, beach sports and so on) not sure what models and lenses would be best! Thanks in advance!
Hey, Oliver! Thanks for reaching out!
There could be so many options that would be great for you. For starters - you can always reach out to an optician over email (info@sportrx.com), chat (sportrx.com), or phone (888-831-5817) and you can get immediate feedback. Not knowing your size, but knowing you like Oakley, I would start with: Flak 2.0 XL, Split Shot, Portal X, Straigtlink...the list could go on! Make sure you get polarized lenses for all those water sports!
What he said!
Cool! I’ll have a look! Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the great videos! I live out in the desert. My eyes are very very light-sensitive. I am looking for sunglasses that are both very good for light sensitivity and cover as much of my face as possible. I am not looking to make a fashion statement. Lens color, contrast, style, etc. do not matter to me. I simply want SUPER DARK sunglasses to help with my light sensitivity when I am out and about in Phoenix. I would certainly not mind a large frame. Thanks!
Hi, I also have weak and sensitive eyes. Also, I usually got bloated eyes (black dots on eyes) if I hang out on extremely hot summer day without sunglasses :( do you think super dark grey would be a great choice?
Grey is the top choice!
Sick video 🔥
Thanks! 🔥
What about the ruby color?
What do you recommend for super bright days, like in the tropics where we need an extra bit of darkness. Greetings.
You should go for a polarized grey with a mirror coating to cut the most light transmission. That should suit you best!
Don't forget - you can always reach out to our friendly, knowledgeable opticians for more tailored assistance at 888-831-5817!
What is good all round for bright light, at ,sunrise and sunset driving when the car's sun visor does not do a great job. What technology to see clearly when Snow is on the ground and that is reflective for driving. What about for the pool & beach and just being outdoors at any time for a walk or hike on sunny days? Am confused if you need prism or prism with polarization... No Rx needed at this time . Been looking at the Turbine Oakley model, thanks
You should check out Prizm Black Polarized. That is a great all-around lens that will cut glare bouncing off other object (like snow and water) and will get you in the amazing Prizm tech. Don't forget you can always reach out to our friendly, knowledgeable opticians at 888-831-5817 for all the tailored assistance you may need!
@@sportrxeyewear thank you!
Does anyone know what is the best color for migraine sufferers?
I find lens coverage more important than actual lens tint colour/strength. If light leaks in the side, my eyes are battling with reacting to that light while trying to look through a dark lens and can’t cope. Grey frogskins are the worst for that. I can’t see anything,
But what if you can have BOTH?! We are always happy to help if you have any questions because we would love to help you with the perfect pair for you!

We second Tyler's perspective!
I’m good - my Targetline Prizm Deep Water see me through the bright days. (But not everything matches a blue reflective lens)
I have cateract surgery on one eye. I was severely nearsighted, but still have to wear glasses. I have a problem from switching from snide light to outside light. Everything is so hazey and foggy I can’t see to step off on to the parking lot. And I also have problems with night time driving when I’m at a stop light and headlights from other vehicles are so bright I can’t see how to turn into the lane. I can’t wear dark sunglasses they don’t shield out the light no matter how dark they are. So I got the mirror lens. What is the best color for my condition I have?
If i want to have that green smoke rayban look for my holbrook xl sunglasses, is there an identical lens ? In other words wanting that exact same look because i love the green smoke but not a rayban fan, but a big holbrook fan. Thanks
Hey Brendan! Yes, that is something we can craft for you. If you require prescription, you can go to the link below and build a custom lens with a polarized or non polar green smoke tint under SportRx brand lenses. It's the same process and pricing for non prescription as well. IF you have questions, give us a call to speak with an optician. ✌️

Awesome video
I have had issues with grey polarized lenses giving me massive headaches. Any idea on what can cause that?
Do you normally get migraines or headaches without it?
What would you recommend for a Flight Instructor or Bush Pilot who spends a lot of time in the sky?
You should go with something non-polarized with a mirror coating to help cut the most light transmission. Grey would likely be the best lens color for your use! Give our opticians a call and we can help set you up for the most ideal pair! 888-831-5817
There's been times driving when the sun blocks everything in front of me and can't see a damn thing! Is there a type of sunglasses that would block that bright light out or filter it? Thanks
Polarized sunglasses.
What’s better for bright days? Polarized or Prism.
Both! A Prizm Polarized lens is the way to go 👍
Hi, Thanks.My safety glasses seem to block about 40% only. I wonder if the US$ 10 to 12 dollar sunglasses (Iron Man/Tony Stark steampunk design for example) on AliExpress or Amazon will block 100% UV (UV400 spec)?
Thank you. God bless, Revelation 21:4
So your saying i should find sunglasses with rose copper tint and polarized mirror coating
HI! Personal preference definitely plays a role, but for robust color enhancement in bright conditions (especially if you're sensitive to bright light) a rose tint and solid mirror are a great option to consider. Check out the Maui Sunrise lens!
Just picked up a pair of Oakley sapphire Prizm. Would you recommend them for bright days?
I own a pair of Oakley "Targetline" sapphire Prizm. I'd say they're doing great on bright days. Actually, Prizm has become my #1 lens to go.
@@habibshams6958 after commenting I researched a little and it says sapphire Prizm is good for foggy, haze, snow. Before buying I remembered reading that sapphire was the shade before black. Right now, I don't know, I think I would have preferred natural than tinted.
Ps: check it out: czcams.com/video/rwXEC2CP8h0/video.html
Great choice! Prizm Sapphire is a great lens for bright conditions!
You sounds very wise! Thanks for your feedback!
Thank you for following up! In the video that you referenced they were discussing a tint, which is not where the Prizm Sapphire lens gets its blue color from. The blue color in the Prizm Sapphire is there thanks to a mirror coating. The base color (meaning the color the lens would be without the mirror coating) for the Prizm Sapphire is grey enhanced with Prizm tech. It is a great option for bright days!
SHE loves it❤
I need new sunglasses bad BUT I am told my rx does not work with rounded lenses AND i have always had trouble finding glasses that fit well. Do you have any retail locations to try on?
Hi! While our San Diego (and only) showroom is currently closed, our friendly opticians are available via phone and chat and they would love to help show you what glasses can work with your prescription: www.sportrx.com/contact
I bet we can get you set up with something amazing. Try calling our opticians at 888-831-5817!
Is rose copper similar to oakleys sapphire?
Actually, Oakley's Sapphire Iridium lens utilizes a grey base color. That is going to be more neutral in color-enhancement, which is quite different from Rose Copper. You should definitely reach out to our opticians to get some one-on-one feedback for what would be best for you! You can reach us at www.sportrx.com/contact
This Tyler guy knows his stuff! You can also reach out to our friendly, live opticians at 888-831-5817

What are the best Serengeti lenses?
Hello! It depends on what tint you prefer relative to the lighting conditions in your environment. For cloudy overcast to medium light, check out the Drivers or Drivers Gradient. For medium to intense light, the 555 NM Silver is a good choice. For bright intense light, take a look at the Sedona Silver Bi-Mirror! You can also give our opticians a call or email us for more recommendations! 😎

Prizm sapphire is way better than red iridium polarized on a super bright day. Personal experience only.
Thank you. 6 videos before this one that said a lot of nothing.
