REKS prescription solid brown Trivex® lenses have a 15% Visual Light Transmission (VLT). This classifies them as Category 3 lenses, which are considered dark sunglasses and well-suited for bright, high-glare conditions.
Mirror coatings can reduce VLT and make a lens appear darker. However, our lab adjusts the base tint to maintain a consistent VLT, whether a mirror is added or not. This ensures the lens performance and overall brightness remain essentially the same with or without a mirror.
