What you need to know about Transitions and light-responsive lenses?
Photochromic lenses stay clear indoors and darken when exposed to UV rays from sunlight. Some other names for these lenses include “light-responsive lenses”, “Transitions®”, “photograys”, or “auto-tint lenses”.
Photochromic lenses are convenient because they change to a tint when the molecules in the lens come in contact with Ultra-Violet rays from the sun. This means that even on a cloudy day, the lenses will still darken. You should note that most photochromic lenses do not darken in a car because the windshield blocks the necessary UV rays. If you would like light-responsive lenses which darken in the car, you will choose Transitions® XTRActive® lenses.
