Good morning,

For the last few years I have been wearing prescription glasses when driving to assist distance vision. In getting the glasses made, I was more interested in the 'coolness' of the frames and I let the optometrist figure out the glass piece.

After a couple of years, I recently had another check-up and my distance eyesight had stabilised (or actually improved a fraction, normal in 'old age' apparently) and I was interested in a new pair of driving glasses, especially those that change during bright light and shade, so called Transition lenses. And I wanted a thinner frame to slide under my helmet for track-day usage as well.

Upon investigation I learned that the transition lenses work off UV light and modern car windscreens block much of the UV rays so the lenses don't get the 'data' they need to do the transition-thing successfully.

So a middle solution was found, a lens called Drivewear which uses both visible and UV light to make it's photo-chromatic lens changes.

After just one days driving, I can tell you the difference is startling. Highly recommended!

Bye for now, BomberBoy
