This safety glass thing is confusing me. Apparently, tinted is okay, like light amber or yellow, but the definition of shaded is confusing. I wear a clear pair over my glasses, but quite a few people on my team wear a sort of gradient-mirror tint, where it's a little bit shaded/tinted (but only a little), but in the bottom half of the lens, it's pretty clear. Overall light transmission is only cut down a very little bit, and one can argue that it cuts down glare.

I understand that this sort of tinting is meant for outdoor use, but some of my teammates have been using the same pair for the last 3 years, so they do have some sentimental value. It's just that they sit on the fence between "shaded" and "tinted".
