Having a great pair of prescription sunglasses is a must for eyeglass fans who love spending time outdoors. With transition lenses, you can have a great pair of glasses and sunglasses in the same lens! Transition lenses are the generic name for photochromic lenses. When exposed to UV light, they change from regular glasses to sunglasses, and then back again when returned indoors. This is thanks to photochromic molecules made in the lenses.

Molecules in transition lenses have a lifetime, which determines how long they will continue to work. After a while, you will find that your lenses no longer darken or change as fast as they used to. Fortunately, transitional lenses last around 2 years, which is how long a prescription for regular lenses usually lasts.
