Light-responsive lenses

One pair for indoors and out. Light-responsive lenses darken in the sun and clear again inside, so you don’t need to switch between prescription glasses and sunglasses.

How light-responsive lenses work

Light-responsive lenses, also known as photochromic lenses, are lenses that automatically adjust their tint in response to changes in light. These lenses darken when exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet (UV) light and return to a clear or slightly tinted state indoors or in low-light conditions.

This dynamic adjustment helps to reduce glare and protect the eyes from harmful UV rays, providing added comfort and protection for people who are frequently moving between indoor and outdoor environments.
