PHOTOBROWN EXTRA GLASS LENSES

Photobrown Extra glass lenses, also known as transition or photochromic lenses, are innovative eyewear lenses designed to adapt to changing light conditions. These lenses are engineered with special photochromic molecules that react to ultraviolet (UV) light, causing the lenses to darken when exposed to sunlight and lighten indoors or in low-light settings.

 

The brown tint offers enhanced color perception, making these lenses ideal for everyday wear. Their remarkable ability to automatically adjust their tint level grants wearers convenience and eye protection in various environments, effectively reducing glare and eye strain while shielding against harmful UV rays.

 

Photochromic gray lenses at VS Eyewear are available in real glass material, offering superior optical clarity and scratch resistance. These transition lenses in glass material provide the same impressive features as their plastic counterparts, adapting to light conditions effortlessly.

 

The glass construction adds durability and a premium feel to the lenses, making them an exceptional choice for individuals who prioritize both fashion and function in their eyewear. Whether indoors or outdoors, these real glass photochromic gray lenses deliver a seamless and enjoyable visual experience for wearers across various settings.
 

 

 

 

ADVANTAGES OF PHOTOBROWN EXTRA LENS
 

HIGH SCRATCH RESISTANCE

While typical plastic lenses offer basic scratch protection from the elements, real glass lenses provide the highest scratch resistance. All the other lens materials don’t match the scratch-resistant qualities of glass lenses.
 

LESS DISTORTION

Real glass lenses offer a higher clarity, a better abbe value, and less distortion than your typical polycarbonate plastic and Trivex lenses.
 

HD VISION

Real glass prescription lenses provide true HD optics with the Highest Abbe Value on the market, meaning less distortion and an overall clearer view.

Frequently asked questions

Have questions? We’re here to help

What are PhotoBrown® glass lenses?


PhotoBrown® glass lenses are photochromic mineral glass lenses that automatically darken to a rich brown tint when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light and return to a clearer state indoors. They offer the convenience of both everyday eyeglasses and sunglasses in a single pair.

How do PhotoBrown® glass lenses work?

PhotoBrown® lenses contain photochromic molecules that react to UV light. Outdoors, the lenses darken to help reduce brightness and glare. When you return indoors, they gradually fade back to a lighter tint, providing comfortable vision in changing lighting conditions.

What are the benefits of PhotoBrown® glass lenses?

PhotoBrown® lenses provide exceptional optical clarity, outstanding scratch resistance, 100% UV protection, automatic light adaptation, and the warm contrast-enhancing benefits of a brown tint. They eliminate the need to constantly switch between clear glasses and prescription sunglasses.

Do PhotoBrown® glass lenses become completely clear indoors?


PhotoBrown® lenses become significantly lighter indoors but may retain a very slight residual tint depending on lighting conditions, lens age, and temperature. Most wearers find the remaining tint minimal and comfortable for everyday indoor use.

Do PhotoBrown® lenses darken inside a car?

Usually not. Most vehicle windshields block much of the UV light that activates photochromic lenses. As a result, PhotoBrown® lenses generally will not reach their full darkness while driving. Dedicated prescription sunglasses may be a better option for extended driving in bright sunlight.

Are PhotoBrown® glass lenses scratch resistant?


Yes. Mineral glass lenses are naturally much more scratch resistant than most plastic lenses. While proper care is still recommended, PhotoBrown® glass lenses are an excellent choice for customers looking for long-lasting durability.

Are PhotoBrown® glass lenses available with a prescription?


Yes. PhotoBrown® glass lenses are available in many prescription options. Availability depends on your prescription, frame selection, and lens design. The VS Eyewear team can help determine the best option for your needs.

Who should choose PhotoBrown® glass lenses?

PhotoBrown® lenses are ideal for people who spend time both indoors and outdoors and want the convenience of one pair of glasses that automatically adjusts to changing light conditions. They're especially popular with customers who appreciate the optical clarity and durability of real glass lenses.

How do PhotoBrown® lenses compare to PhotoGray® lenses?


Both PhotoBrown® and PhotoGray® lenses automatically adjust to changing light. The main difference is lens color. PhotoBrown® provides a warm brown tint that many people find enhances contrast and depth perception, while PhotoGray® offers a more neutral gray tint that preserves natural color perception.

Does VS Eyewear offer PhotoBrown® glass lenses?

Yes. VS Eyewear offers authentic PhotoBrown® glass lenses in a variety of frame styles and prescription options. Our experienced optical team can help you determine whether PhotoBrown® lenses are the right choice for your prescription, lifestyle, and visual preferences.
