FAQs
Choosing between grey and brown transition lenses largely depends on personal preference and specific needs, as both colours offer unique benefits.
Grey lenses are versatile and tend to pair well with most outfits and occasions.
Brown lenses offer a more classic or vintage look, which might be preferred by some individuals.
Overall, it's also worth considering consulting with an eye care professional to get personalized advice based on individual vision needs.
No, you do not have to have a prescription to get transition lenses, also known as photochromic lenses. These lenses are available in both prescription and non-prescription forms, making them a versatile choice for a wide range of users.
Photochromic lenses offer several benefits that are good for the eyes:
UV protection: Photochromic lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, which is crucial for eye health. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can lead to eye conditions like cataracts and macular degeneration.
Adaptability to light changes: These lenses automatically adjust to changing light conditions. They darken in bright sunlight for greater comfort in varying environments, and return to clear indoors or in low-light conditions. This adaptability reduces eye strain and glare, which is beneficial for overall eye comfort and health.
Convenience: Since they adjust automatically, they can act as a two-in-one solution. This can be particularly beneficial for glasses wearers who are prone to forgetting to wear or carry their sunglasses when going outdoors.
Blue light-filtering: Some photochromic lenses are also designed to filter out blue light from digital devices and artificial light, which can reduce digital eye strain and improve visual comfort.
Yes, you can wear photochromic lenses all the time, and for many people, they are an excellent all-in-one eyewear solution. However, depending on specific circumstances like specialized needs, or personal preferences, you might occasionally need different eyewear.
It's always a good idea to consult with an eye care professional to determine the best eyewear solutions for your lifestyle.
