Photochromic PC Lenses for Sport and Outdoor Eyewear
Polycarbonate lenses that darken and clear with changing light
Photochromic polycarbonate lenses change their transmission in response to ultraviolet light, letting one pair cover conditions that would otherwise need a lens change. They are the lens type we recommend first for cycling, running and any outdoor activity that runs from low light into full sun.
What defines this product
- 01
One pair, changing light
The lens responds to UV rather than to a fixed tint level, so it adapts as conditions change through the day.
- 02
Colour options
Grey is the primary photochromic colour. Brown is referenced in our product material and is confirmed separately before ordering.
- 03
Polycarbonate base
Impact-resistant material suited to sport frames, available from 1.0 to 2.3 mm thickness.
- 04
Curve for wrapped frames
Round blanks flat to 8 base curve, cylindrical blanks 2C to 8C, to suit wrapped sport geometry.
