transition lens
Light-sensitive spectacles
Transition lenses are eyeglass lenses that darken automatically in sunlight and return to clear indoors.
The photochromic technology responds to UV light, eliminating the need to switch between regular glasses and sunglasses: I love my transition lenses for driving.
The term comes from the brand name Transitions, now used generically for any photochromic eyewear.
