Maui Jim Ultra Green Mirror
Has anyone tried the Ultra Green mirror? I’m curious as to whether the tint is different compared to Pure as it is with the Blue Mirror and lens material used.
From what I’ve read so far, the Green mirror is more consistent over the whole lens in the Ultra and they are significantly darker than the ‘Pure’ version. 12% instead of 18%
Can anyone confirm this?

AMP lenses for my Persols
These Persols have been sitting in a drawer for the past year or so. I had eye surgery this year and so the prescription in these glasses was no longer appropriate. So, rather than have them sitting around doing nothing I ordered some polarised AMP lenses in green from Fuse Lenses in Florida USA. https://fuselenses.com/
Took a while to ship to Australia but when they arrived they fitted nicely and are great to wear. So now, my reading glasses are having a new life as sunglasses. The AMP lenses are colour enhancing. These lenses enhance green of course, but also make yellow, red and purple 'pop'.

Help with Tints
Hello All,
Im glad to have found this site. I have had retinal tears and one detachment in my eye and found myself getting light sensitivity. I want to find the right lenses. I still like to be active with my young kids and go out and do low energy sports with them and i dont like how brown lenses or dark sunglasses make me feel dim and dark. I feel like it lowers the mood. I do have laser scars from the procedures which scatters light which is tough I will get light go off in the corner of my eyes where the laser scars are(its stable per retinal surgeon) so that would help as well.

If you really need light protection for bright days, check out the Vuarnets https://www.sunglassscience.com/post/a-guide-to-vuarnet-sunglass-lenses and consider some of the lens choices with 9%VLT. Or try The Costa deepwater lenses designed for bright light on water.

Hi Manuel
The answer depends upon how good your eyesight is. A glass lens will usually have a higher ABBE rating than a plastic, nylon, or polycarbonate lens. However, Mauipure lenses are most-likely the closest to glass lenses for clarity on the market today. So, your eyesight would have to be exceptional to notice any difference.
The VLT for Rayban polarised is around 11% for green and around 12% for brown, whereas the variety of Mauipure lens base colours and mirrored coatings is generally between 10% - 21%.
So....... 'better' really depends what features and benefits are important to you and what you intend to use the glasses for? Eg. Driving, snow skiing, fishing, general purpose or sports.
Cheers
R.
