Every year, as summer approaches, sunglasses become a popular choice. In recent years, in addition to their practical function of reducing glare, the choice of lens color has become increasingly important as a styling accent.
Iwaki Megane, located on the 8th floor of Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , offers a wide selection of sunglasses from popular domestic and international brands. From non-prescription colored lenses to photochromic lenses that are also useful as prescription sunglasses, we offer a variety of frame and lens color combinations to suit your needs.
In particular, by using the "AI diagnosis" feature, which allows you to easily try on colored lenses, you can choose a lens color that suits your hair and skin tone.

This is so useful! "Photochromic lenses" make it possible to wear sunglasses and eyeglasses in one pair.

Many glasses wearers probably feel like they want to wear sunglasses, but find it a hassle to switch between them when going outside. Carrying both sunglasses and glasses is inconvenient, but with photochromic lenses, they change from colored lenses outdoors to clear lenses when you go indoors.
Of course, they are available with or without prescription lenses, and can be used as everyday glasses, or as sunglasses for going out or for outdoor hobbies.

The photochromic lenses available at Iwaki Glasses remain clear indoors, allowing you to work comfortably, while the tint darkens outdoors, ensuring you maintain comfortable vision in any location without needing to change glasses. Furthermore, they offer protection for your eye health from various types of light.
In addition to the traditional natural-toned gray and contrast-enhancing brown, the lens color range has expanded to include more color variations such as blue and green.

Photochromic Lenses: Let's start by choosing a frame!

To fully enjoy the appeal of photochromic lenses—the ability to wear them as sunglasses outdoors and as regular glasses indoors—start by choosing your frames. Try on as many frames as you like at the store, where a wide variety of models are available.
This time, I chose the EYEVAN7285 model "191"! I decided on this unique double-bridge frame with a retro feel. The overall lines are thin, and the teardrop shape isn't too strong, resulting in a clean design that's also stylish as a fashion frame.

Our experienced staff at Iwaki Megane will help you choose the perfect frame for you. Once you've selected a frame that suits your features and is on-trend, the next step is to choose the color of your photochromic lenses.

The combination of gold frames and amber brown creates a fresh, slightly unconventional look!

Regarding the selection of "photochromic lenses" that match the antique gold double bridge of EYEVAN7285 , the staff at Iwaki Glasses said:
"Photochromic lenses, which change color when exposed to UV (ultraviolet) light, are now available in a wider range of colors, including blue and green, in addition to the basic gray and brown."
Many customers choose photochromic lenses that match their favorite colors in their personal fashion. For example, if someone often wears brown, they will choose brown lenses.
For EYEVAN7285 's antique gold double-bridge frames, amber brown is a great match, and they look beautiful and stylish when worn outdoors in light-adjusted lenses. We advise you to choose a color that suits you for your first pair of glasses."

■Frame
The EYEVAN7285 model "191" is a double-bridge metal frame with a lens shape that is a hybrid of Boston and teardrop. Its appeal lies in its neutral finish, achieved by combining an ultra-thin 0.7mm top bar with the understated ornamentation of the 182-type endpieces and temples.

■The photochromic lenses in Nikon's ViewFit series provide an optimal fit that matches the curve of the frame. They come standard with a scratch and dirt-resistant coating and cut out blue light emitted from digital devices. They provide optimal vision, comfort, and protection all day long.
*The tint will not appear when wearing a hat, under a parasol, or inside a car with UV-cut glass. The tint intensity will vary depending on weather conditions.

AI Diagnosis Edition: Perfect for those who want to try various options. Find the lens color that truly suits you.

Iwaki Megane also offers an AI-powered lens color diagnosis service that helps you find the perfect sunglasses based on your frame color, lens color, skin tone, and hair color. This service is ideal for those who want to try out different lens colors or who are having trouble finding the perfect pair of sunglasses.

This AI lens color diagnostic app lets you simulate trying on colored lenses; all you have to do is put on your favorite glasses and take a picture, and you're ready to go.
Choose your favorite color or a color that interests you, then select the color intensity and gradient to change the lens color of your chosen glasses. Furthermore, by tapping the edit button and then the AI check button, you can see an image of how your hair color, skin tone, and frame color will look through the color experience live camera.

The AI lens color diagnosis uses AI technology to determine how well the "colored lens glasses that suit you" are based on your skin tone.
Lens colors include those recommended for glare reduction, those with high contrast, and those that provide a natural view. You'll find that the best color varies depending on your skin and hair color.
This time, we created a new pair of glasses using a frame and lens color that are a perfect match for you (5 stars).

I tried on sunglasses that received a 5-star rating based on the "AI Lens Color Diagnosis"!

■Frame
The frame I chose is the "Sheldrake," an iconic model from OLIVER PEOPLES . Inspired by the frames worn by Andy Warhol, this design features small lenses and is ideal for those who prefer a style that covers less of the face. It effortlessly projects a bold and intellectual image.

■Lens
The lenses selected using AI diagnostics are Iwaki Megane's original lenses with UV protection and a 25% gray tint.
Colored contact lenses can brighten dull skin and make your complexion look more beautiful. For everyday wear, using light-colored lenses with a tint of around 15-35% will protect your eyes while also giving you a fashionable look.
While gray and brown are classic choices for colored lenses, blue lenses are also popular as we head towards summer.
