What it is

A light-adaptive lens contains molecules that darken when UV light hits them and fade back to clear when it stops. Outdoors it works as sunglasses, indoors it looks like an ordinary clear lens.

Who it is for

Anyone who is in and out all day and does not want to carry two pairs. The extra-dark version suits light-sensitive eyes and driving, because it also reacts to heat and behind a windscreen.
