Photochromatic Lenses: Features, Benefits, and Uses
What Are Photochromic Lenses?
Photochromic lenses are optical lenses that automatically adjust their tint when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. In bright sunlight, these lenses darken to reduce glare and protect the eyes, while indoors or in low-light conditions they return to a clear state.
At Eyedigo, we offer high-quality photochromic lenses specially designed for Indian light conditions, ensuring optimal comfort, clarity, UV protection, and blue light filtering for everyday use. Eyedigo provides photochromic lenses in prescription (power) and zero power options, making them suitable for all age groups and lifestyles.
Photochromic Glasses and How They Work
Photochromic glasses work using special light-sensitive compounds embedded within the lens material. When exposed to UV rays, these compounds trigger a chemical reaction that causes the lenses to darken. As UV exposure reduces, the lenses gradually return to a clear state.
Eyedigo photochromic glasses function as clear indoor eyewear and protective sunglasses outdoors, eliminating the need to switch between multiple pairs of glasses.
