Transition Lenses for blocking out sun. So helpful but people think they're nerdy 🤷 with the right frames they look good imo
They are a pain in cold winter weather in Minnesota because most of the ones I’ve had transition back very slowly after having been out in the cold I just switched to prescription sunglasses with tinted transitions instead.
Look into magnetic sunglasses, Zenni sells a few pairs if you buy online. Best decision I've ever made.
No longer do I have to yolo changing glasses while going 120km down the highway to work during that stupid 2 month period where it goes from pitch black to blinding sun during my commute.
I've had them for about 3 years now and I wish they would catch on faster so I could get new styles. The sunglass part is pretty thin but I've yet to break it in 3 years of accidentally leaving it in my back pocket while sitting down.
You mean clip-ons? They're neat in theory, but my glasses are already relatively thick by virtue of my bad eyes, even in lightweight. So whenever I had a clip, the weight + bulk of the glasses started to annoy me. Pricey as it is, I'd rather just have two sets of glasses then.
I guess they could be called magnetic clip ons. I have terrible vision myself (-6.5) and require thicker lens (which zenni doesn't actually accommodate I had to buy from elsewhere) and I never found the added weight to be an issue. As far at price, I only paid 150 cdn for the glasses which is one of the cheaper pairs I've owned.
Personally I hate having to carry around two pairs of glasses, it's annoying af but if that's what you prefer, you do you.
I like my Costco sunglasses instead. They have a real light tint by default and then can transition darker based on light level. They’ll even darken behind a car windshield!
This works for me because the tint is light enough out of sunlight that I can see indoors with them on fine
They are still transitions, tho
They are, but they work better for me in my specific situation. I don’t really wear sunglasses in the winter. The sun is pretty weak here and I don’t really need them most days. Maybe a handful at most.
