If you're thinking about buying a pair or two of Altair Celebrity 2C clip on sunglasses, here is some information that may be helpful to you.

sunglass lens colors are really a personal Preference. Some change your perceptions of color, brightness and contrast, and some don't.

The most important feature to look for in a sunglass lens is how much UV radiation it absorbs — you want 100 percent for maximum protection. It is also important to get lenses that are ground rather than punched, to minimize distortion.

A color called neutral density gray will darken the world but not change your color perceptions. The tint many prefer in their sunglasses is called G-15, which is a combination of gray and green. It is the original tint that Bausch & Lomb used in their Ray-Ban sunglasses for pilots.
