Differences between +red iridium

[deadmeat]

I am looking at a couple different frames and was seeing if there is any differences between +red iridium and 00 red iridium lenses? The frames are OO4087-08 & OO9247-10

They’re very similar. I think the only difference is the base tint

One is polarized with increased contrast and the other is not polar with neutral contrast

+red came in a polar option too

True but i thought he was wondering about the pairs he posted

Yea I understood it a little different. Thought he was asking difference between the lenses in a general sense.

Polarized doesn't really matter I was really just wondering between 00 red and +red, using those frames as examples. So would the 00 red show colors alittle better like Prizm does with increased contrast?

They use the same red iridium coating. The base tint is what gives the contrast difference in the OO Reds that tomcat mentioned which is the main difference between the two lens types

+Red is a Grey neutral base with a +Red iridium coating.
OO Red polarized is a contrast G40 base, with a OO Red coating (see also OO “Jordan” Red).
Different as chalk and cheese.
