transition lenses

Light-responsive 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 got transition lenses so I don't have to carry two pairs.

Also called photochromic lenses.

Transitions is a brand name that has become nearly generic.
