Why choose gradient sunglasses?

Many times, choosing lens color is a style choice. However, gradient lens sunglasses also offer increased comfort in many situations.

By concentrating more tint at the top of the lenses, gradient sunglasses offer increased protection from overhead light. As the tint lightens, it becomes easier to see through the middle of the lens resulting in less eye strain. This makes gradient lenses ideal for activities like driving, hiking, and reading outdoors. If you like to keep your sunglasses on inside as well as outside, a gradient lens will make those transitions much easier.
