Photochromic lenses are glasses that change from clear in shaded area to tinted in sunlight. Photochromic lenses are available in: - Regular glass
- Hi-index glass
- Regular plastic
- Hi-index plastic
- Mid-index plastic
Today's modern technology provides a longer-lasting more consistent color lens. These lenses will gradually lose their darkening and lightening ability because of exposure to the suns rays. All of the photochromic lenses share these features: - Block potentially harmful UVB
- Heat will effect how dark the lenses will become in light
- May not clear completely in fluorescent light
- They are not as effective as sunglasses behind the windshield of a car
- Each lens darkens differently depending on the power of the lens
You may be a candidate for photochromic lenses if you: - Spend a lot of time outdoors
- Are looking for a new fashion trend - photohromics come in a variety of styles and colors
- Wear contact lenses and need a practical solution for backup glasses
- are a busy executive looking for a convenient eyeglass/sunglasses solution.
- are a busy parent looking for a convenient multi-purpose lens.
A few of the most common reasons people choose photochromic lenses are: - Convenience - Never have to switch between glasses and sunglasses again.
- Comfort - Never get caught without sunglasses on a bright day.
- Cosmetics - Photochromics look good and fit everyone's lifestyle
- Cost - Purchase one set of glasses to serve as both glasses and sunglasses
