How do light adaptive lenses work?

In sunlight, a chemical reaction triggers the unique and highly photosensitive molecules, darkening the lens.

These molecules do so more intensely depending on the level of direct sun and UV exposure. This way a suitable and comfortable tint intensity is achieved no matter how bright it is.

Whenever you're inside or there's little UV radiation, the molecules 'fold' again and the lenses clear up, ensuring optimum vision indoors.

Exposed to sunlight or UV rays, light adaptive lenses take around a minute to darken. They will continue to do so for about ten more minutes until the full self-tinting lens shade is reached.

  • Pioneer: With the appearance of the classic grey-green sun lens tint when activated.

  • Blue: A new colour choice that adds some excitement to the range of photochromic lens hues.

ZEISS AdaptiveSun: Smart sunglasses lenses for customers that prefer a convenient, fashionable lifestyle.

Sunglasses provide UV protection, glare reduction and comfortable vision. But even when wearing them, customers often struggle to see clearly because of constantly changing light conditions. The lenses can either be too dark in shady areas or too light in bright sunlight. We then tend to take them off, leaving our eyes unprotected.

ZEISS AdaptiveSun Solutions are sun lenses designed to automatically adjust their colour intensity depending on UV exposure while maintaining:

  • full UV protection and
  • glare protection.
