Are light-responsive lenses as good as sunglasses?
Light-responsive lenses are just as effective as sunglasses. They offer the same UV protection and help reduce glare. Their main advantage is their ability to adapt to changing light conditions.
Do light-responsive lenses work indoors?
Yes, light-responsive lenses remain fully clear indoors, as they only darken in response to UV light outdoors. They provide optimal clarity and comfort inside without any tint.
How do you take care of photochromic lenses?
Clean your transition lenses daily to remove smudges, dust, and dirt. Avoid dry-wiping, as it can cause micro-scratches over time. Only use soap and water to clean your lenses—avoid harsh chemicals.
Can you wear photochromic lenses all the time?
Your pair with a light-responsive coating is suitable for any situation, whether indoors or outdoors, providing continuous UV protection. No need to worry about forgetting your sunglasses or skipping them for a quick trip outside.
What is the lifespan of a photochromic lens?
Photochromic lenses typically last two to three years, depending on how often they're used and how well they're cared for. After this time, they may begin to lose their effectiveness and should be replaced for best performance.
