Photochromic lenses

Photochromic lenses, often called transition or light-reacting lenses, turn darker in sunlight and clear up again indoors. They are made with your prescription like any other lens.

Who they suit

  • People who go in and out of sunlight and do not want to switch between glasses and sunglasses.
  • People who want UV protection built into everyday glasses.

Good to know

  • They darken with UV light, so they stay lighter inside a car, because the windscreen blocks most UV.
  • They take a short time to darken and a little longer to clear. Heat makes them darken less.
  • They are not a full replacement for sunglasses in very bright sun.
