How Light-Adaptive Lenses Work

Our light-adaptive lenses contain special photochromic molecules that change structure when exposed to UV light, causing the lenses to darken outdoors and return to clear indoors.

Seamless Transition

Outdoors: Dark Tint

When exposed to UV light, the lenses darken to provide comfortable vision and protection from bright sunlight and harmful UV rays.

Indoors: Clear Lenses

In the absence of UV light, the lenses return to their clear state, providing perfect clarity for indoor activities.

Quick Response Time

Our advanced technology ensures rapid darkening when going outdoors and quick fading when returning indoors.

Understanding Light-Adaptive Technology

Learn more about how photochromic technology works and how to get the most from your light-adaptive lenses.

How Photochromic Technology Works

How Photochromic Technology Works

Light-adaptive lenses contain millions of photochromic molecules that change their structure when exposed to UV radiation. In their default state, these molecules are transparent. When UV light strikes them, they undergo a chemical transformation that causes them to absorb visible light, darkening the lenses.

When UV exposure stops (indoors), the molecules gradually return to their original structure, and the lenses become clear again. This process can repeat indefinitely, though the molecules may gradually lose some reactivity over years of use.

Did You Know?

  • Temperature affects how dark photochromic lenses become. They typically darken more in cooler conditions.
  • Most car windshields block UV rays, which may prevent standard photochromic lenses from fully activating while driving.
  • The latest generation of light-adaptive lenses can activate with both UV and visible light, improving performance while driving.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do light-adaptive lenses take to change?

Most light-adaptive lenses begin to darken within 30 seconds of UV exposure and reach their fully darkened state within 1-2 minutes. When returning indoors, they typically take 3-5 minutes to become mostly clear again.

Do light-adaptive lenses work while driving?

Standard light-adaptive lenses may not fully darken behind car windshields because windshield glass blocks much of the UV light that activates the lenses. Our Extra Dark and Polarized options are designed to respond better while driving.

How long do light-adaptive lenses last?

The photochromic molecules typically maintain good performance for 2-3 years before gradually becoming less responsive. However, many people continue using them effectively for the life of their prescription.

Can I get light-adaptive lenses with my prescription?

Yes, light-adaptive technology can be added to virtually any prescription lens type, including single vision, bifocal, progressive, and even reading glasses.

Are light-adaptive lenses good for computer use?

Light-adaptive lenses remain clear indoors, so they're suitable for computer use. However, if you're specifically concerned about digital eye strain, you might consider combining light-adaptive technology with blue light filtering.

Tips for Light-Adaptive Lens Users

  • Be patient with transitions

    Allow a minute or two for your lenses to fully adjust when moving between indoor and outdoor environments.

  • Consider a backup pair

    For activities requiring immediate dark lenses (like driving into bright sunlight), consider keeping a pair of prescription sunglasses handy.

  • Clean properly

    Use lens cleaner and microfiber cloth to clean your lenses. Avoid paper products which can scratch the photochromic coating.

  • Store properly

    When not wearing your glasses, store them in a case to protect the lenses and extend the life of the photochromic molecules.
