November 18, 2007 - From Dawn to Dusk with Polarized Photochromic Sunglasses
Polarized sunglasses have long been a great choice for those that are in bright sunny conditions as they reduce glare, but when you go into different light these sunglasses are no longer effective. This lack of ability to handle a variety of lighting conditions makes the glasses ineffective for those that may be running, cycling, or even fishing where you need to have your bearings about you at all times. Many outdoor enthusiasts have complained about polarized varieties of sunglasses in the past, stating that they just cannot trust that they will provide the eye protection and view that they need while outdoors because lighting conditions are always changing.

A photochromic lens is the type of lens that changes its color/tint depending on the amount of light (ultraviolet rays) that are cast upon the lens. When more light is encountered, the lens becomes darker. Conversely, when less light is shined then the lens becomes lighter in color. The secret is in a material called Silver Halide. It's mixed evenly within each lens during manufacture. The Silver Halide is the material that makes the lens change its color based on ultraviolet ray exposure.
Polarized lenses eliminate reflected glare, a potentially dangerous distraction found on roads, water, sand and glass. Photochromic polarized lenses are a breakthrough technology that's designed to improve performance by giving athletes and outdoor enthusiasts a single ultimate lens for variable conditions.
Outdoor occupations like farming or ranching, constructions or postal delivery can benefit from indoor/outdoor adaptability and glare reduction. While activities like hunting and shooting, boating, fishing and driving benefit from glare reduction, flexibility for frequently changing light conditions as well as enhanced contrast and depth perception.
Who doesn't want a pair of sunglasses that will fit them well, protect their eyes, and work in a variety of lighting conditions? Polarized sunglasses have long been a great choice for those that are in bright sunny conditions as they reduce glare, but when you go into different light these sunglasses are no longer effective. Polarized photochromic sunglasses offer a great alternative for everyday and year round protection from eye strain and eye fatigue. They'll improve your visual comfort by helping provide a comfortable level of light and improve your visual quality with enhanced contrast and depth perception.
