FAQs

Are photochromic glasses worth it?

Photochromic glasses can be worth it if you want everyday eyewear that adapts as you move between indoor and outdoor environments. They reduce the need to switch frequently between clear glasses and sunglasses, although dedicated sunglasses may still provide more consistent darkness for driving or extended time in strong sunlight. For a detailed comparison of everyday use, driving, and outdoor lens options, read our photochromic glasses guide.

Do photochromic glasses work in the car?

Standard photochromic glasses may not darken as much inside a car because many windshields limit the UV light used to activate the lenses. If you need consistently dark sunwear for daytime driving, dedicated prescription sunglasses may be a more suitable option.

Can photochromic glasses be customized with prescription lenses?

Yes. Photochromic glasses can be customized with prescription or non-prescription lenses, including single vision, reading, progressive, and bifocal options when compatible with your selected frame and prescription. At Olet Optical, choose your preferred frame, click Select Lenses, complete your base lens selection, and then upgrade to Photochromic Sunglasses.
