Clear Indoors, Tinted Outdoors—Automatically
Transition lenses (also known as photochromic lenses) adjust automatically to changing light conditions. They’re clear indoors and darken in sunlight, giving you the convenience of prescription glasses and sunglasses in one pair.
How Do They Work?
These lenses contain light-sensitive molecules that darken in response to UV exposure. When you go back indoors, they gradually return to clear. This makes them ideal for anyone who wants visual comfort in all lighting without having to switch between multiple pairs of glasses.
