Over 40? Why Medium-Light ColorBoost™ Tints Help You See the Ball Sooner

If you’re 40+, you probably don’t love super-dark lenses on court. You need contrast, not sunglasses that turn courts into caves. Reddit users repeatedly recommend rose/amber to make the ball and lines pop in sub-perfect lighting—exactly the zone ColorBoost targets. Reddit+1

Why it works

  • Warm wavelengths increase contrast against typical court surfaces.

  • Medium-light VLT avoids over-darkening (a common complaint in community threads). Reddit

ColorBoost picks

  • Daytona Petite / Petite Large (Medium)—for smaller faces and teens.

  • Orlando (Medium)—cloudy/late-afternoon outdoor.

  • Daytona Indoor (Light)—gym lighting, yellow/green or orange/red balls.

Pro tip from Reddit
Avoid heavy polarization to preserve depth. Many players report better read and footwork with non-polarized warm tints. Reddit
