MOSCOT’s tinting legacy began in the early 1900s when Hyman Moscot crafted custom-tinted lenses for both medical and cosmetic needs. By the 1930s, American-made Calibar Green lenses became the peak of function and fashion. The 1960s saw a boom in colorful tints – like Big Apple Fade and Limelight – that became synonymous with downtown NYC style. From Andy Warhol to Johnny Depp, MOSCOT tints have remained a favorite among artists, creatives, and icons.

Today, the MOSCOT Custom Made Tints™ Collection pays homage to this rich legacy – offering handcrafted lenses inspired by vintage palettes and modern trends.
