Maui Prescripton Sunglasses

I have a -2.50 prescription for both eyes. Can I get the Maui Lava Red lens for my Huelo sunglasses? Would the lenses be too thick since they’re only available in the 1.50 MauiBrilliant material? Are there other options if I want to stick with a red mirror coating? Thank you!

I agree. Sport RX is your 'go-to' for specific answers when it comes to optical lenses with tints.

The Science Behind Gold Mirror?


Bolle Polarised Sunglasses

Here's an interesting one for more discussion. I currently have two pairs of gold mirrored glasses. Previously I owned a pair of Bollé Irex 100 which I bought in 1980 and wore religiously for 16 years that had a very dark brown lens and gold mirror which (before ANSI) had a VLT of 9%. I wore them everywhere for everything in that time, including driving. They gave a rich and almost overwhelming amber view and did alter colour perception. Sadly, they finally bit the dust quite a few years ago. However, back to the two I currently own, another Bollé Polarised pair (left) and a pair of Smith Chromapop gold mirrors. (below left)

The Smith Reddingtons are an amber lens with gold mirror and the Bollés are a light rose lens with gold mirror.


Here's the thought bubble. If the mirror colour reflects the colour of the mirror, thus reducing…

Sunglasses Fix - Polyamide Replacement Lenses Review?

Curious if anyone has tried them and how they compare to the greats (Serengeti glass & MJ STG & MB)? Data on website seems promising but wanted some real world thoughts…..

Hi Mike and Heather

I had Sunglasses Fix custom cut me some lenses for a pair of Persols that were originally for reading (optical glasses) but after eye surgery, I opted to convert them to sunglasses. I went for the brown polarised lens premium. It has anti reflective on rear and great polarisation filters. The clarity is great. Can recommend the service and the lens quality.

Serengeti PhD vs Saturn Lenses

What an interesting site you have created here. I've been a fan of Serengeti sunglasses since my Vermillion 7000SS cateye glasses in the 1980s.


What is the difference between PhD 2.0 Polarized lenses and Saturn Polarized? They both seem to be available in all lens colours.


Serengeti's website says PhD 2.0 lenses are "Built with NXT® technology and made from Trivex material", but it does not have much information at all about Saturn lenses or what material they are made of. Would you consider either one to be superior?


Thanks.

Thank you. It seems like a downgrade from Trivex to polycarbonate, but I guess it's a small difference that usually would not be noticeable..
