Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses seamlessly adjust to varying lighting conditions, changing from clear to dark when outdoors, and back to clear when you’re inside. The lenses are equipped with patented, photochromic dyes, enabling them to rapidly darken, when exposed to ultraviolet light, and will continuously darken as the UV rays intensify, and will revert when you go back inside and UV rays are no longer present.
