How Do Photochromatic Lenses Help You?

Photochromatic lenses are lenses that change color in response to different light levels. They are also known as transition lenses, help protect your eyes from harmful UV a and B rays while reducing eyestrain and improving vision in direct sunlight.

Who needs such lenses?

Transition lenses are especially helpful for people who are light sensitive.

Anyone who spends a lot of time in direct sunlight or who has difficulty seeing in bright light conditions can benefit from photochromic lenses.

Photochromatic lenses vs Sunglasses

Photochromic lenses offer an advantage over sunglasses in their ability to adjust the tint automatically in response to the level of light surrounding the wearer.

This ensures that vision is optimised, eliminating instances where sunglasses may be providing an excessive level of tint and creating a compromised view.

The adaptive nature of photochromatic lenses means they’re better for your eyes as compared to sunglasses.

Photochromatic lenses and Blue light lenses

Aside from protecting youe eyes from too much sunlight outdoors, transition lenses with blue light also provide an important benefit: protecting your eyes from blue light that can lead to digital eye strain.

Research indicates that long-term exposure to blue light from the sun and the display screens of digital devices such as computers and smartphones may increase an individual’s risk of developing macular degeneration and other eye conditions in later life.
