Sun Eyeglasses
Can I tint my eyeglasses with a tinted film.?
I have a 3 pairs of glasses one new pair and 2 old ones. One of the old ones I have never used and have been in the case for a year now. Since my prescription has not changed I’d like to see if I could make them sun glasses. Is it possible to tint them with a high quality automotive style tint film and still be able to see or would it mess with the optics?
So far, everyone has told you to get them tinted…but no one has answered your question.
I’ve never seen anyone use the car window film to tint glasses with, but I think it will look strange, unless you can manage to do both sides, which will probably prove to be more work than it’s worth. A normal tint on a lens goes all the way through the lens, and a UV coating is added also. Your film would only be on the surface and the lenses would still be clear in the center….so , I don’t think it would be very effective.
It will be much easier to take them to an optical store and see if they can be tinted. They can’t always be, depending on the coatings on them.
And contrary to what our optometry student said…coatings are NEVER stripped off before tinting. If the coatings on it prevent tinting, then it just can’t be done, period.
