Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

3. Can you get polarized photochromic sunglasses?

Can photochromic lenses also be polarized? It isn't very common, but lenses that are both photochromic and polarized exist. One example is the Transitions Vantage line of lenses. When these lenses darken in sunlight, they also become polarized.

4. Who should wear photochromic glasses?

Anybody can benefit from them, but especially those who regularly interchange from indoors to outdoors. Photochromic glasses can be particularly good for children who are unlikely to be able to juggle two separate pairs of gasses - regular and sunglasses.
