Photochromic lenses are made by adding special light-sensitive molecules to the lens. When exposed to UV light, these molecules cause the lenses to darken in the sun and clear up when indoors. This is done by either mixing the molecules into the lens material or applying them as a coating.
Transition lenses contain photochromic molecules that darken when exposed to UV light, and become lighter when the UV light diminishes. This allows the lenses to automatically adjust to different lighting conditions, providing both clear vision indoors and UV protection outdoors.
The type of lens on glasses can vary depending on the specific needs of the wearer. Some common types include single vision lenses for correcting vision at one distance, bifocal lenses for correcting both near and far vision, and progressive lenses for a seamless transition between different distances. There are also specialized lenses for specific purposes, such as anti-glare or photochromic lenses.

The mass of a hand lens can vary depending on the size and material it is made of. Typically, a hand lens can weigh anywhere from a few ounces to a pound.
Besides the curvature of the lens, the refractive index of the material the lens is made of determines the focal length. The refractive index affects how light rays bend as they pass through the lens, ultimately determining the focal point.
Photochromic Sunglasses are the eyeglasses that gets darken when exposed to the sun. Created by Corning in the late 1960s and popularized by Transitions in the 1990s,these are also sometimes called photochromatic. Lenses in photochromic sunglasses rely on a specific chemical reaction to UV radiation.
The advantages of having photochromic lens on your sunglasses are not only convenient (ability to go from outdoors to indoors with changing eyewear) but they enhance vision of patients with various ocular pathologies (diseases) and those who have light to moderate sensivity to light.
Photochromic refers to a type of lens that darkens when exposed to UV light and clears up when not exposed. These lenses are commonly used in eyeglasses and sunglasses to provide protection from sunlight.
The technical term for a lens that has a variable tint is aphotochromic lens (also called photochromatic if you are in America). One of the most well known and commonly sold brands of photochromic lenses are "TRANSITIONS". Photochromic lenses get darker when they are exposed to ultra-violet light, not when you are indoors in a brightly lit room with artificial lights. Photochromic lenses are best suited to slightly cooler climates as they react much quicker and will go darker when they're cold compared to using them in a very hot climate.
The lens is called sunglass lenses or photochromic lenses. You can find some great options at Eyeglass Direct, glasses direct
You can purchase photochromic (color changing) paints at most automotive paint stores.

Diopter adjustments can be made to the ocular lens.
not all ray-bans are made from italy. Original classic styles are made in italy, where as the fashion ones (just gradient tinted lenses with no polarization or photochromic lenses) are made in China. To ensure you are getting the real thing, only buy from reputable dealers, or check the quality of work and ensure that everything has Ray Ban or RB written on it (lens, frame, arms, bridge, pads)
the first contact lens ever made was made out of glass.
