Transition Glasses (Photochromic Lenses)
Photochromic lenses, commonly known as transition glasses, automatically adjust to changing light conditions. They remain clear indoors and darken in sunlight, offering seamless vision correction and UV protection in a single pair. Available in prescription and non-prescription options, they eliminate the need to switch between regular glasses and sunglasses, ensuring comfort and convenience throughout the day.
How Do Transition Glasses Work?
Transition lenses contain light-sensitive molecules that react to ultraviolet (UV) exposure. When exposed to UV rays, the molecules darken the lenses to reduce glare and protect against harmful light. In low-light or indoor settings, the molecules return to their clear state. This dynamic response offers vision correction and sun protection in one versatile solution.
Q1. How do transition lenses work?
They darken in sunlight and return to clear indoors, adjusting automatically to changing light conditions.
Q2. Are they suitable for indoor use too?
Absolutely — they remain clear indoors and provide comfortable vision throughout the day.
Q3. Are transition lenses safe for sensitive eyes?
Yes, transition lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, helping protect your eyes from sun damage while reducing light sensitivity in bright environments.
Q4. Can transition lenses replace sunglasses?
Transition lenses are great for everyday outdoor use, but in high-glare environments like beaches or while driving, dedicated polarized sunglasses may still provide superior glare protection and visual comfort.
