FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Can prescription lenses be tinted?
Yes, in most cases (single vision & progressive). Certain extreme tints may be limited depending on the prescription; we will then offer a close alternative.
What is the difference between mirror and polarized?
Mirror is a surface effect (look + slight glare reduction). Polarized is a filter that cuts reflections (water, road), for superior contrast.
Can I have my sunglasses re-lensed with a new tint?
Yes. Send us the frame (or choose a new one) and indicate the desired tint; we manufacture custom lenses and mount them in our workshop.
What if I hesitate between several looks?
Indicate your uses (driving, sport, sea, city) and the desired appearance (discreet, fashionable, mirror). A Visionet optician will guide you to the best combination.
