VLT refers to the amount of light that reaches your eyes through your lenses and is measured as a percentage. The lower that percentage, the darker the lens! For example, at Shady Rays, most of our lenses fall between 8% and 18% VLT. That means most of our shades block between 92% and 82% of the light that passes through the lens.

 

We do have a high-transparency lens for any activity where the highest possible visibility is preferred. That lens, the Yellow Sky, has 76% VLT, and is available in both sets of our React shades, which can be checked out here: Type S and Type R.

 

VLT and lens tint for each Style can be found in the Features section on each individual product page. If you have any questions regarding any of our collections, please reach out to us via our Contact Us page here.
