Do tinted lenses affect colour vision?
Tinted lenses which look coloured change the colour of things you look at through them. If both lenses are tinted the same colour (as is usually the case) this will change the colour of everything you look at through them and may make certain objects difficult to see. Because a tint reduces the amount of light that enters your eyes, we do not recommend you use tinted lenses for driving at night, or in conditions of poor visibility where light is at a premium.
