Photochromic glasses
These glasses adjust themselves to changing light conditions and thus provide an optimal glare protection for almost every situation. The lenses get lighter inside and get darker outside in a very short time, in order to optimally protect your eyes from the prevailing light conditions.
The darkening and lightening of these lenses is dependent on the temperature and the intensity of UV radiation. UV rays trigger a chemical reaction in the photochromic lenses. Under exposure of UV light, the arrangement of the molecules of certain chemicals, such as naphthopyran for example, changes. During the photochromic process, millions of photochromic molecules are deposited at a depth of approx. 0.15mm in the front surface of the lens, the so-called photo sensitive coating. As the molecules are only found on the surface of the lens, the entire lens darkens uniformly, regardless of its dioptric power. They are just as clear as conventional lenses, both inside and at night.
The lenses absorb 100% of the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB radiation.

Precise and comfortable vision in all lighting conditions
- Reduction of glare
Photochromic lenses adapt to changing light conditions and therefore provide optimal glare protection for almost every situation. The lenses lighten indoors and darken outdoors after a very short period of time, in order to optimally protect the eyes from the surrounding light conditions. - Protection against UV radiation
Photochromic glasses are also very well-suited for protecting eyes from up to 100% of harmful UV radiation.
