Almost off topic......

Just ordered a pair of prescription sun-glasses for when the sun eventually decides to put in an appearance.

Just had a thought though - I've ordered them with blue lenses - same colour as my Chim (there's the tentative TVR link for you).!!

Are there any issues legally regarding wearing coloured lenses whilst driving.??

Presumably traffic signals won't look red / amber / green with those on............

The red one will still be at the top. Just don't go to Switzerland...

I'm still in the infancy of Tiv ownership so have yet to remove my rose-coloured pair.
No seriously, I can't wear normal sunglasses but I would love to look cool. I have thought about the merits of prescription sun specs for a while. I'll be eager to know what others think.

My specs are reactolite, anyway.

I believe that it's difficult to argue the toss on colour, many sunnies use different colour spectra anyway and prescription are no greater regulated than normal glasses!

Personally I have some prescription oakleys, brown tints but reflective and they are fantastic. Better than my normal glasses!

Whilst blue lenses may give you a matching cool look, i'm not sure that they'll protect your eyes from the sun. I used an Oakley site to choose my prescription lenses and it had all the colours /shades alongside the level of protection from sun etc and recommended use. Cant remember the link but I arrived at it from the main oakley site. Though I do recall having difficulty finding it since.

EDIT
Just visited oakley and the sites all changed but they do seem to show some blue iridium lenses for sunny conditions now, so it looks like they moved on since I got mine.

Blue lenses are supposed to make you depressed

Pink lenses aid a better outlook on life

Watch out when driving in Europe..in & out of those tunnels is a bugger with prescription sunnies!

I've always had prescription sunglasses and have never had any issues seeing clearly whilst driving. I currently have the Parasite Sporn Star. the lenses are polarised with UV level 3 protection and a silver mirror coating similar to these:
