What Are Photochromic Lenses?
Photochromic lenses contain a special dye that reacts to UV light — clear indoors, and automatically darkening within moments of stepping outside. When you head back in, they fade clear again.

FAQ
How fast do photochromic lenses change?
They typically darken within about 30 seconds to a minute in strong sunlight, and fade back to clear over a few minutes indoors.
Do they work while driving?
Most photochromic lenses activate based on UV light, which is largely blocked by windshields, so they may not darken much inside a car.
Can I get photochromic in a color other than gray?
Yes — a range of tints is available, including brown, blue, purple, pink, green, and orange.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship across New Zealand and Australia.
