Photochromic Lenses

Photochromic lenses are lenses that change their color when exposed to sunlight. These lenses were invented to improve ocular health of patients as they block excess UV rays when exposed to sun but function as a normal spectacle while indoors. UV light activates the lens technology to transform the lenses from clear to dark, and a range of tint in-between. The lenses are fully clear indoors and at night, and when UV activated block 100% of UVA and UVB rays.
