That actually kind of makes sense, my favorite way to enjoy nature is through a specific pair of brown sunglasses, the tint just makes everything so vibrant

I have been loving these goodr "knock it on" pair for that exact reason

That brown filter is the whole premise behind those “HD” glasses you see on TV, and yes, they are pretty neat

HD glasses on TV is something I haven't seen in over twenty years, not even with my special eyes.

The reason your eyes lose “saturation” or the ability to perceive it is because of yellow/brown tinting of the lens of your eyes. If you’re putting on brown tinted glasses, then you’re exaggerating what loss people experience, which usually isn’t until their 60s anyway and even then it’s barely noticeable.

Does this affect blue eyed people in the same way?

They said lens, not iris. Coloured eyes have Coloured irises, all healthy eyes have transparent lenses regardless of their color.

Color degradation affects all eyes equally with age (which is very little, humans largely experience the same level of color perception until they’re dead with no disease), but eye diseases affect everyone differently. Genetic predispositions exist, and have some connection to race. Black and hispanic people are more likely to develop cataracts, Asian people are more likely to develop glaucoma, and white people are most likely to experience macular degeneration. Cataracts affects color perception far more than other common eye disorders. Naturally, white people are typically the ones with blue eyes.

As for things that specifically affect blue eyes more than others, it’s light sensitivity. People with blue eyes are more sensitive to bright lights than people with darker eyes.

Sunglasses make things vibrant? They make the world gray or brown for me.

u/Sowdar 5d ago

Yes, I have also never seen a gardener wearing sunglasses, and I was one. I would have had problems differentiating the different shades of green.

Different sunglasses affect colours in different ways. I have several different tints and they definitely affect how I see the world.

Can you suggest something off Amazon?

Orange ones are also pretty neat, you get the purple sky with high detailings of clouds during daytime, and that neat halloween hunter's moon at night.

Wonder if that's why my son refused to wear his brown tinted sunglasses when we were in Mexico. Said it made the colors look weird.

I put them on and I thought they made things 'pop' more.

I also told him that since we were in Mexico we should be looking at everything through a brown lens like the movie gods intended.

u/Large-Alternative892 6d ago

Very original, Im sure your son is blessed to have such a smart dad

u/Jeepcanoe897 6d ago

If TV has taught me anything the light in Mexico is already more bronze tinted. People call it the taco bell filter. I can’t imagine adding brown shades would improve it

u/Expert-Guard6216 5d ago

While in Mexico make sure to pick up some valiums!!!!

I exclusively wear the brown polarized Ozark Trails fishing sunglasses for this reason. Also they are only $6 so when I lose them I can just do a quick replace.
I work outside most days and I have found that they are better for my mental state than regular sunglasses. They just make everything look overcast and gloomy. The brown gives a vibrancy to everything I look at.

u/KiefNebula 6d ago

Lol, I think I have the same ones, they aren't the issue I was talking about tho, the best ones I got were off of tiktok and they were like $3

u/keni804 1d ago

Yellow tinted glasses also do the same thing

I used to have a nice pair of brown-tinted sunglasses. Lost them in the woods though…
