Hey there! Amazing content. Do you coat the lenses first and then tint them? I’m aware a/r can mess up the tints and have had lits of issues with my supplier. Thanks!
I wanted to know how much you charge I wanted to tint some white frame prescriptions with a blue tint...my local optical does a great job bit does not have the blue color that you mentioned. Thank you very much BEN
I do but its hard to tint a lens after the fact. Meaning that the lens is tinted and then the scratch coating is applied. The scratch coating acts as a force field around the lens not letting any scratches as well as more tint to be applied. Anytime we start with new lenses we can nail what you're looking for.
Very good review n nice guy . I have lots of pair of glasses. If he was next door, I would have visited him regularly for a new pair of glasses every month
Hi there great informative video! How much percent of tint was the final product? And would it still be visible when its dark outside? Thanks in advance :)
Thanks for sharing and taking the time to do so. I have an iridescent (copper-purple) mirrored set of old spalding aviators with scratches on the glass. Do you do any mirrored or iridescent tints on glass? Perhaps even on custom cut polarized PC?
I can do just about anything however I do not do any mirror coatings in house. I would need to have one of the various labs that I order from do that for me. Polarized are not a problem. The only thing I do not do is the actual material of glass because of safety concerns. I prefer using polycarbonate, trivex, plastic and Hi Index.
Hi Do they bother you when you are in front of a computer , watching TV or reading a book ? .... Can I put Tint on graduated glasses ? or its no possible... how much it cost ?... Do you see different color when you are with them ? I work in front of computer and books all day...do they bother you ? I will be really appreciated If you respond to my questions , thank you
+vikVictory96 You've asked a lot of good questions that would be easier for me to answer with a phone call than for me to type everything. Please email me at freeprescriptionlenses.com with you phone number and I'd be happy to call you and tell more than you ever wanted to know about tints and lenses.
I have a pair of glasses that I’m going to get prescription lenses put into, and I want gradient transition lenses very badly. Is this an option that’s available at retailers or do I need to find someone online?
Hi dear, how we can remove multi coting from the lens for dye....? any solution name or formulation of solution do you have idea if you share and make a video that would be appreciated...
We suggest getting new lenses instead of spending time trying to remove coatings. We think there are video's on TH-cam with people using abrasives to take off coatings. It is not something we do.
If there is an anti-glare coating it would get ruined in the process. Best way is to order new lenses. Some take bleach to them - but not recommended. Hope this helps
Nowadays you have to know in advance of the lenses being made if any tint will be applied. There was no anti glare added to these lenses that enabled me to tint them myself. You you know if you have any anti glare on your lenses? If so the heat from the tint would damage it inadvertantly.
Thank you, this was a GoPro Hero 2. I now use a Hero 3. I purchased the latest and greatest a year ago but havent learned how to use it yet. I should make it my goal for this month to learn it.
Please, how i can remove the anti-reflective layer, because it is broken in lines over the lens and i want to clear this removing the layer. But how? Thanks
There is a company called Hilco and they have an anti glare remover chemical that you will need to soak the lenses in. It may or may not work perfectly.
It depends on the material and the prescription as to how dark we can get it. If you want really dark go with a mirror coating. A tinted lens absorbs the suns rays, a mirrored lens reflects it back making it 30 to 40% darker for the wearer.
@@freeprescriptionlenses is there any way i can do this operation at home? soak them in hot water or alchol or any other liquid >>? thanks for your concern
Question Can U Tint Transition’s No Eye Glass Place Will Do It! Every Time Years Ago When I Got Glasses They Were Tinted A Orangey Brown Just Half &When I Went in the Sun ☀️ They Turned into Sunglasses 🕶 Every Says they Don’t Do It Anymore! Can U Do It!!!!
Email me at freeprescriptionlenses@gmail.com when you want your next pair. Here's a pair of Transitions XTRAactive with the Johnny Depp blue tint: th-cam.com/video/DP8tifcrIDM/w-d-xo.html
Aww man I wish lol.Trying to do my own little DIY since I always buying new frames but can never get that pink 70s gradient that I like. But I love how you let your viewers behind the scenes. Evolution at its best
Should all lenses be able to tint? I used regular clothes dye on some "reading glasses" from the dollar store to test the tint, and they wouldnt absorb any of the dye. Not sure if maybe because of the thickness of the lens.
I have no experience with clothing dye but I would think that over the counter reading lenses should tint because I would seriously doubt that they have a high quality scratch coating to begin with.
Good question, I dont know the chemical difference from the one I use and the over the counter version. I do have mine heated to around $190 degrees to make it work best. Keep me posted and let me know your results.
+ErmacAburame Please forgive my delay but I did not see your response until now. Please email me at freeprescriptionlenses@gmail.com if I can still be of any assistance to you.
You went old school on me. This video will be 5 years old next week. I've grown sooo much professionally since this video. Sadly its been at the waist.
I love this channel. He's only one doing these like this
I want the gradient tint with the totally clear bottom and darker on top. These look perfect- I need some of these!!!
I love how you customize these to customers
I’m glad I found this channel
Welcome :-)
Excellent work! Do you do drill mounts? I want transition & tint also. I already have the frames.
I need them done ASAP!
Thanks
We do drill mounts depending on the frame. Your best bet is to email us the info to freeprescriptionlenses@gmail.com. Thanks!
@@freeprescriptionlenses can you dye my lenses for me?
Its hard to tint existing lenses but starting from scratch we can do any color you want.
THANKYOU x what a lovely hearted man you are !
All that praise just for tinting some lenses? Wow, thank you. Wait till I cut and tint lenses for you!
@@freeprescriptionlenses where can you tint my lenses
Hey there! Amazing content.
Do you coat the lenses first and then tint them? I’m aware a/r can mess up the tints and have had lits of issues with my supplier. Thanks!
I only tint non anti glare lenses in house as seen here. I'll have to have the lab tint them before they apply an anti glare coating.
I wanted to know how much you charge I wanted to tint some white frame prescriptions with a blue tint...my local optical does a great job bit does not have the blue color that you mentioned. Thank you very much BEN
Do you still tint lens? I recently had a prescription did buy Walmart and they aren’t tinted dark enough.
I have at least 15-20
pair of eyeglasses.

Good news. Im moving in next door to you! Ok maybe not just yet but I do ship worldwide.
This is amazing. Really informative
Glad you think so!
Hi,
Can you make light blue tinted glass with transaction grey darker in sunlight.
Also purple anti reflective coating.
Yes, The Zeiss Photofusion Extra gray with Duravision Blue Protect anti glare
Hi there great informative video! How much percent of tint was the final product? And would it still be visible when its dark outside? Thanks in advance :)
About 50 %, but still wearable at night since you're looking through the middle of the lens.
Hi can you tell meu where you order your tinted, and what is the name of the tinted, thank you
I order from a company named BPI. Here is a link:
www.callbpi.com/Tints.html

+freeprescriptionlenses.com ok, great. I'll follow up via Gmail. I'll attach pics and inquire further. -J
Amazing stuff. Wow!!!
That's exactly what I'm looking for? Where can I get this done near me? Can anyone tell me how to properly search for?
Just call around and ask optical shops near you if they tint on site
What would you say the percent is for that nice fashion gradient look?
Good question, 25% for everyday glasses or 50 to 75% for sunglasses.
I have orange tint prescription glasses, but I don't like the orange anymore. How can I remove the tint ?
You would need to take them to an optical shop near you that tints lenses on site and ask them to remove the tint. It may take an hour or two.
If I wanted to do this at home, what kind of dye do I use?
You can order these dyes from a company called BPI. Here is a link to their tints: www.callbpi.com/Tints.html
Thank you.

can you do this to a zeiss lense ? without effecting their factory ar coating?
I cannot. It would ruin the coating due to the heat of the tint liquid.

I have never heard of a gradient Transitions. You can add a gradient tint over Transitions but when you go outside the entire lens will turn dark.
@@freeprescriptionlenses Thank you for responding! Where could I go to add a gradient tint to prescription lenses?
Have you tried where you got them from?

We suggest getting new lenses instead of spending time trying to remove coatings. We think there are video's on TH-cam with people using abrasives to take off coatings. It is not something we do.
Does this work for prescription transition lens?
You can have tinted lenses with Transition lenses... but we can not tint already made transition lenses
impressive.
Thanks!
How do u remove the tint mine is a light blue but i want them clear
If there is an anti-glare coating it would get ruined in the process. Best way is to order new lenses. Some take bleach to them - but not recommended. Hope this helps
How much you charge to tint? I wanna send mine in

@freeprescriptionlenses oh I see..I'll check my receipt. If anything I'll send in new frames with my recent RX copy to get new glasses if possible
Perfect!!! I'll be ready
how can i buy this colour just colour

Can I mail you my current glasses and can you create new tinted lenses for them with the same Rx?
Yes, we can do that for you. Email us at freeprescriptionlenses@gmail.com and tell us what color tint you want.

There is a company called Hilco and they have an anti glare remover chemical that you will need to soak the lenses in. It may or may not work perfectly.
can you tint only if current tint not dark emough?
We are unable to tint if there is already anti-glare coating on the lenses - otherwise yes that is correct.
You’re amazing !
Thank you so much!!
Can you tint sunglasses like super super dark ? You know like celebrity sunglasses??
It depends on the material and the prescription as to how dark we can get it. If you want really dark go with a mirror coating. A tinted lens absorbs the suns rays, a mirrored lens reflects it back making it 30 to 40% darker for the wearer.
I think mine are either plastic frames visionworks dipped them but I feel there not darrrrkkk enough I want them like darker than black lol

ts called a gradient gray tint. You can get it from very dark at the top fading to clear or light ra fading to clear.
what kind of dye do you use?
I get my tints from BPI which for some reason stands for Brain Power Incorporated. Are you in the optical field? If so, what kind do you use?
Aww man I wish lol.Trying to do my own little DIY since I always buying new frames but can never get that pink 70s gradient that I like. But I love how you let your viewers behind the scenes. Evolution at its best
J M have you ever been successful doing your own? I tried with RIT dye and was unsuccessful- not sure why...
"but Im not that lazy... although I do have the machine right there for some odd reason" lol
I got a new machine that can hold 4 pairs of lenses and tint 4 different colors at the same time! Im gonna have to make a video of that !!!
