Understanding Photochromic (Light-Transitioning)

Photochromic lenses, also known as light-transitioning lenses, are a popular choice for individuals seeking comfort and protection across varying light conditions. Below, we provide a comprehensive overview of their functionality, available options, and associated costs.

What Are Photochromic Lenses?

Photochromic lenses automatically adjust their tint based on UV exposure. When exposed to sunlight, they darken to provide protection and comfort. Indoors or in the absence of UV light, they return to a clear state. This makes them ideal for individuals who frequently transition between indoor and outdoor environments.

Color Options for Photochromic Lenses

  • Photochromic lenses are primarily available in grey. However, the Transitions Gen S lenses are also available in brown.
