How does a light-responsive coating work?
A light-responsive coating works by using special photochromic molecules that react to UV light. When exposed to sunlight, the molecules darken the lenses, protecting your eyes from bright light and UV rays. Once you’re back indoors, the coating clears up, adapting to your surroundings for optimal comfort.
