Here are the advantages of photochromic(Transitions)lenses:

  • They adapt to environmental changes (indoor, outdoor, high or low brightness).
  • They provide greater comfort, since they reduce eyestrain and glare in the sun.
  • They provide daily protection against harmful UV rays, by absorbing 100% of UVA and UVB rays.

Although photochromic(Transitions)  lenses are more commonly referred to as transitional lenses today, the correct term is photochromic or photochromatic. Photochromic(Transitions) sunglasses are commonly referred to as transitional sunglasses because of their transition from dark when outdoors to light when indoors. The definition of photochromic(Transitions) is capable of changing color on exposure to radiant energy and of, relating to, or utilizing the change of color shown by a photochromic (Transitions)substance. You may ask yourself, "How does this happen?".

Photochromic (Transitions) lenses have many molecules embedded in them. These molecules are transparent to visible light when in the absence of UV light, so the lenses will be light. When in the presence of UV rays, the molecules react and change shape. When this happens the molecules absorb some of the visible light causing the lens to darken. The brighter the sunlight the darker the lens.

Photochromic lenses are great for those that wear eyeglasses, who can not wear sunglasses unless they are prescription. If you wear eyeglasses and wear sunglasses when outside, you are forced to carry two pair of eyewear. For most people this is a hassle. You either break the pair you are carrying or lose them. If you choose to wear photochromics, you can wear them for eyeglasses and sunglasses. You simply buy the photochromic.

Photochromic sunglasses are great for motorcycle riding sunglasses as well. So many motorcyclists are forced to carry two or even three pairs of sunglasses or goggles or interchangeable lens kits with clear, charcoal and amber color lenses. With photochromic lenses you can buy and carry just one pair of sunglasses or goggles for all day and even night riding.
