Tinted Prescription Lenses

Visual Comfort for Suitable Lighting Conditions

Tinted lenses feature a coloured tint designed to reduce the amount of visible light passing through the lens. They are an option for individuals who work in bright environments or require a specific lens tint for their visual needs.

For prescription safety eyewear, tinted lenses combine vision correction with selected tint options, subject to prescription requirements, lens specifications and compatibility with the safety frame.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Selected Tint Options

Available in selected colours, such as grey or other tints offered by the lens supplier, depending on product availability.

2. Reduced Visible Light Transmission

Tinted lenses reduce the amount of visible light passing through the lens. The level of light reduction depends on the tint colour and darkness.

3. Suitable for Selected Outdoor Applications

Certain tints may be suitable for outdoor work or bright environments, provided the lens is appropriate for the lighting conditions and workplace requirements.

4. Prescription Vision Correction

Tinted lenses can incorporate prescription correction, allowing users to combine their vision requirements with a suitable tint.

5. Choice of Lens Materials and Coatings

Polycarbonate or Trivex materials and selected lens coatings may be available, subject to the lens product, prescription and compatibility requirements.

Who Are Tinted Lenses For?

Tinted prescription safety lenses may be suitable for individuals working in environments where reducing visible light is beneficial, including:

• Outdoor workers: For selected outdoor applications involving bright ambient light.

• Field personnel: For individuals working in open areas with changing daylight conditions.

• Workers in bright environments: For suitable applications where a specific tint supports visual comfort.

The appropriate tint depends on the working environment, lighting conditions and individual visual requirements.

Available Lens Configurations

Tinted lenses may be combined with different prescription designs, materials and coatings, subject to availability and compatibility.

• Lens types: Single vision and selected multifocal designs.

• Lens materials: Polycarbonate or Trivex, where available and suitable.

• Tint options: Selected colours and tint densities, depending on the lens supplier.

• Lens coatings: Multicoat and other compatible treatments.

Important Considerations

Tinted lenses are not suitable for every workplace or lighting condition. A tint that is appropriate outdoors may reduce visibility in dimly lit areas or indoor environments.

Tinted lenses should not be assumed to provide protection against ultraviolet radiation, infrared radiation, welding radiation or other specific workplace hazards unless the relevant protection is confirmed by the product specifications.

The completed prescription safety eyewear must meet the applicable safety requirements for its intended use.
