At Simplifeye Optical, we believe in making the eyewear selection process as simple as possible, ensuring you not only look good but also see the world with clarity. So, grab your coffee, sit back, and let's dive into the world of lens colours, anti-reflective coatings, mirror-coated lenses, gradient magic, and more!
Polarized Lenses: Shielding Your Eyes, Elevating Your View
If you're the type who loves a day on the water or conquering snow-covered slopes, polarized lenses are your go-to. These lenses provide better comfort as they reduce the glare off of horizontal surfaces. Say goodbye to squinting and hello to visual comfort, whether you're sailing or hitting the ski trails. Polarized lenses on their own do not offer UV protection, so make sure that you still select a polarized lens that has a UV coating.
Anti-Reflective Coating: See Clearly, Glare-Free
Experience the world without annoying glares! Sunglasses with anti-reflective coating on the back side of the lenses prevent light from reflecting off, ensuring a glare-free, crystal-clear view.
Mirror-Coated Lenses: Stylish Comfort in Bright Conditions
Mirror coatings are more than just a style statement! They limit the light entering your eyes, making them exceptionally comfortable, especially in bright conditions like sunny days on the ski slopes. Pair a mirrored coating with a polarized lens and anti-reflective coating for the ultimate in glare prevention!

1.Shades of Gray Tint: Effortless Style for Every Occasion

Whether you're driving, playing sports, or just soaking up the sun, these lenses are your versatile companion for any outdoor activity. Keep in mind, that they do block out the most amount of light, so some might find darker shades too dark.
2. Brown/Amber: Enhance Contrast, Embrace Style
For those who love the open road or need to judge distances accurately, brown or amber lenses are your allies. Ideal for driving, racing, golfing, and fishing, these lenses enhance contrast and comfort your eyes in sunny conditions.

Elevate your style while ensuring vivid details in every adventure.
4. Dynamic Yellow: Unleashing Clarity in Low-Light Scenarios
Yellow lenses are the secret weapon for those who thrive in low-light conditions. Whether you're skiing, mountain biking, or gaming, these lenses provide greater contrast and clarity. Perfect for dawn or dusk, fog, haze, or any scenario where focus is key, yellow-tinted sunglasses are your trusty companions as these lenses enhance contrast, providing greater clarity when it matters most.
