Sport Glasses with Photochromic Lenses

What Are Photochromic Lenses?

Photochromic lenses are light-adaptive lenses that automatically darken when exposed to UV light and return to clear indoors. They eliminate the need to switch between regular glasses and sunglasses, making them a smart choice for athletes who play and train both indoors and out.

How Do Photochromic Lenses Work?

Photochromic lenses are made with special light-sensitive molecules, typically embedded within or on the surface of the lens material. These molecules react to UV light—the kind that comes from the sun—and change structure when exposed, causing the lenses to darken automatically.

Here’s how the technology works:

• Outdoors in sunlight: UV rays trigger a molecular reaction that causes the lenses to darken, providing sun protection and reducing glare.
• Indoors or in low light: Without UV exposure, the molecules return to their original state, and the lenses become clear again.
• Inside a car: Our Extra Active Transition lenses can activate partially even behind a windshield (which blocks some UV), darkening up to 45%—a feature not found in most standard photochromic lenses.

The process is fast, smooth, and fully automatic, giving you adaptive vision in any lighting condition without having to switch glasses.

Why Photochromic Lenses Are Perfect for Sports

For athletes, lighting conditions can change quickly—from sunny courts to shaded fields to indoor arenas. Photochromic lenses offer:

• Smooth transitions from bright to dim environments
• UV protection to guard against harmful sun exposure
• Convenience—no need to carry multiple pairs of glasses
• Enhanced focus and visibility, without glare or squinting

Whether you’re playing pickleball, biking, or running, these lenses adjust so you don’t have to.
