Transition Lenses for blocking out sun. So helpful but people think they’re nerdy 🤷 with the right frames they look good imo
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.
Huh?! I’ve only discovered transition lenses a handful of years ago, but once I tried them, I’ve never looked back. I used to have a problem with glare and too much sunlight when out and about. I can’t wear sunglasses either (since I already wear prescription eyeglasses), and thus transition lenses were a great help.
Hmm, I haven’t really explored that option. I used to wear contact lenses though, and used them with sunglasses. But I found wearing contact lenses kinda finicky, so I gave up on them. I’ve also heard of those clip-on sunglasses, but along with prescription sunglasses, I find the idea of bringing an extra pair of glasses to be annoying. But then again, I could probably just put them in my bag and forget about them until they’re needed.
But yeah, I’m pretty much happy with my transition lenses that every glasses I’ve had ever since my optician recommended them to me were all transitions. I’m just wondering why they’ve got such hate from others.
Maybe the technology is better these days, but I’ve never seen any that completely clear indoors.
They probably just didn’t tell you. I think they’re cringy a bit (probably because I had some as a tween and thought they were cool then) and wouldn’t pick them for myself, but would never go out of my way to call someone out for it. That would be weirder.
