photochromatic contacts. you go outside and just look like this

[pers-books]

Had an eye test a couple of weeks ago and found I need some new glasses, even though I only had new ones last year. £261 for new varifocals with photochromatic lenses and a 'free' (not really 'cos I have to pay £60 extra for 'em) pair of prescription sunglasses which I really need 'cos the photochromatic lenses aren't cutting it when we do get sunshine at this time of year.

I went in to make a partial payment on them (since I can't afford to take £261 out of my £1060 Universal Credit payment along with my £700 rent and also bills and food) and got told if I didn't make the full payment by July 31 I'd have to pay the other £70 that they gave me off the price via an NHS voucher.

So there went my plan to pay it off over 3 months (I get my UC payments on the 5th of the month)! And now I guess I'll be eating a lot of toast and drinking a lot of water and not much else for the rest of June and all of July.

Anyway, the Tories are fucking cheapskates who are only in politics so they can line their own pockets. They're saying they'll cut off people's UC if they're out of work for more than a year, regardless of the reasons why AND they want to cut the disability benefit, too, if they get back in, so please, PLEASE, fucking vote them out on July 4th!

Anrealage UV color changing clothes

Perhaps one of my favorite trends of the industry is integrating fashion with technology! Anrealage has, once again, stunned audiences with their UV light color-changing clothing.

What at first appears to be simple, solid-colored clothing actually turns out to be a futuristic approach to fashion. Using a UV light, Anrealage reveals the bright colors and bold patterns of the garments.

Garments were made from photochromatic materials, which changes color when exposed to the sun's UV rays.

I love the juxtaposition of the 50's-inspired lines with the futuristic tech of UV sensitive materials in the Anrealage collection.

The way simple white pieces shift to brightly colored garments in the sun shows the way these pieces actually can evolve over the course of the seasons. The more intense the sunrays are, the more intense the colors of the garment will be. I love how this gives the garment a huge tonal range, appropriate with whatever season you are in.

((Pixie has a pair of aviator goggles that she bought from a military surplus store a few years ago. They keep debris out of her eyes when she's out for a fly and they have photochromatic lenses that darken in bright light and stay normal at night. They were pricey as fuck and she's taken excellent care of them to keep from having to replace them in any capacity.

In her original incarnation, Pixie was someone in a world where having superpowers and playing in a band was like The Big Thing and she actually didn't have wings there. Her power was flight/levitation and after I transferred her to her new universe, I wanted to keep it because it had become a huge part of her. Thus the wings.))

[blackirishweab]

Just so y’all know, Zenni’s having a sale on photochromatic lenses (transitions). I has to return the pair that had regular lenses because I screwed up putting in my prescription, but when I went to reorder I found that the pc lenses were like half off or something. Since they gave me store credit for the last glasses, after shipping, I only had to pay $2.38.

Shading the Future: A Closer Look at Smart Sunglasses

As technology continues to weave itself into the fabric of our daily lives, the concept of smart sunglasses has emerged, adding a touch of innovation to our eyewear. Without delving into brand names or technical intricacies, let's explore the fundamentals of what smart sunglasses are and how they are reshaping the way we perceive and interact with our shades.

Intelligent Sun Protection:

At its core, smart sunglasses are a fusion of traditional eyewear and modern technology. Unlike conventional sunglasses that solely shield your eyes from the sun, smart sunglasses come equipped with additional features that elevate their functionality. These sunglasses go beyond the basics, offering a blend of style and intelligence.

Built-In Connectivity:

Smart sunglasses often feature built-in connectivity options, enabling them to seamlessly connect with other devices. This connectivity can manifest in various forms, such as the ability to link with your smartphone. This integration allows for hands-free calling, music control, and even receiving notifications directly through your sunglasses. The result is a more convenient and connected experience while enjoying the outdoors.

Photochromatic Lenses:

Many smart sunglasses are equipped with photochromatic lenses, which automatically adjust their tint based on the surrounding light conditions. This adaptive feature ensures optimal visibility and eye protection in various environments, from bright sunlight to overcast skies. The result is a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor settings without the need to switch sunglasses.

Style Meets Innovation:

Beyond their functional aspects, smart sunglasses prioritize style. They are designed to seamlessly integrate technology into sleek and fashionable frames. This blend of style and innovation ensures that users not only benefit from the technological features but also feel confident and on-trend while wearing their smart sunglasses.

Long-Lasting Power:

Smart sunglasses are designed with practicality in mind. Many models come equipped with long-lasting battery life, ensuring that users can enjoy the benefits of their smart features throughout the day without constant recharging. This reliability is essential for those who seek a seamless integration of technology into their daily lives.

In conclusion, 

Smart sunglasses represent an exciting intersection of fashion and technology. Beyond their primary function of shading your eyes from the sun, these innovative eyewear pieces incorporate connectivity, health monitoring, augmented reality, and adaptive features. As this technology evolves, smart sunglasses are poised to become an integral part of our connected and stylish lifestyles, offering a glimpse into the future of eyewear.

Photochromic Eyeglasses the Magic

In the realm of eyewear technology, one remarkable innovation that has gained significant attention is the advent of photochromic lenses. These lenses, also known as transition lenses or photochromatic lenses, have revolutionized the way we perceive and interact with our surroundings. In this blog, we'll take a closer look at the magic behind photochromic eyeglasses, exploring their features, benefits, and how they've become a game-changer for eyeglass wearers.

The Science Behind Photochromic Lenses

To fully grasp the marvel of photochromic lenses, it's essential to understand the science that makes them tick. These lenses contain special molecules, known as photochromic molecules, which react to ultraviolet (UV) light. When exposed to sunlight or any other source of UV rays, these molecules undergo a chemical reaction that causes the lenses to darken. Conversely, when the UV light diminishes, such as when you move indoors, the lenses gradually return to their clear state.

This dynamic adaptation to varying light conditions makes photochromic lenses a versatile solution for individuals who frequently transition between indoor and outdoor environments. Whether you're stepping out into the bright sunlight or heading indoors, your glasses seamlessly adjust to provide optimal visibility.

Enhanced Comfort and Convenience

One of the standout features of photochromic eyeglasses is the enhanced comfort and convenience they offer. Imagine no longer having to switch between regular eyeglasses and sunglasses when moving from indoor to outdoor spaces. Photochromic lenses eliminate the need for carrying a second pair of glasses or constantly searching for your sunglasses when stepping outside.

This convenience extends to various activities, such as driving, where sudden changes in light conditions can pose challenges. Photochromic lenses effortlessly adapt to the brightness levels, ensuring a consistent and clear view of the road, reducing eye strain and enhancing overall safety.

Protection Against Harmful UV Rays

Beyond their adaptive nature, photochromic lenses play a crucial role in protecting your eyes from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can contribute to various eye conditions, including cataracts and macular degeneration. Photochromic lenses act as a shield, automatically darkening in response to UV light to safeguard your eyes from these potential risks.

Fashion Meets Functionality

Photochromic eyeglasses are not just a technological marvel; they also seamlessly blend fashion with functionality. Available in various frame styles and designs, these lenses cater to diverse tastes and preferences. Whether you prefer classic frames, trendy styles, or sporty looks, there's a photochromic option to complement your personal style.

Additionally, photochromic lenses are available in different colors, allowing you to customize your eyewear to suit your aesthetic preferences. This fusion of style and practicality has made photochromic eyeglasses a popular choice for individuals who value both fashion and functionality.

Overcoming Common Misconceptions

Despite their numerous benefits, some misconceptions surround photochromic lenses. One common myth is that these lenses don't darken enough in intense sunlight. However, advancements in technology have addressed this concern, and modern photochromic lenses are designed to provide adequate darkening even in bright outdoor conditions.

Another misconception is that photochromic lenses are only suitable for outdoor use. In reality, these lenses are versatile and can adapt to various lighting conditions, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.

In the ever-evolving landscape of eyewear technology, photochromic lenses stand out as a remarkable innovation that seamlessly combines functionality, comfort, and style. These lenses have transcended the boundaries of traditional eyeglasses, offering wearers a dynamic solution that adapts to their changing visual needs.

As you consider your next pair of eyeglasses, think beyond the conventional and embrace the magic of photochromic lenses. Experience the freedom of clear vision in any light, all while enjoying the convenience, protection, and fashion-forward appeal that these lenses bring to the table. Embrace innovation, embrace comfort, and let your eyewear adapt to the world around you with photochromic eyeglasses.

I Spy With My Little Eye, Big Savings Beginning With... Super!

Unlike ever before, Australian households are dealing with the added pressure of increased living costs. As a result, every element of family life is impacted financially.

It's true, Aussiefamilies are looking to save money where we can - the 'smashed avo saga' continues. However, you and your family shouldn't have to make shortcuts on primary eye care—this is where Island Optical raises their hand—we're definitely here to help!

What Is Island Optical Doing About It?

As increases in health fund costs for Tasmanian households continue to rise, many families question the value of holding onto their health fund memberships. Particularly those seeking specialised care such as behavioural or pediatric optometrist services. These can be expensive alternatives, specifically if you think they are the only options out there. We get it, you’re seeking reliable, thorough eye-testing services.

What about the merit and value of paying regularly for those optional extras, like optical, dental, and so forth? Many wonder if they are getting true-blue, Aussie value year in and year out for their needs; whether that's glasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses.

With Island Optical, You DEFINITELY get true-blue value from your optical benefits every year! Here's How:

2 pairs of glasses or 1 – You Have Choices

At Island Optical, you can choose between two pairs of SV (single vision) lenses or one pair of Precision HT Multifocals with your health fund.

We make SUPER the standard for everyone: We don't just offer the standard-issue, uncoated single-vision lenses either! Our SV lenses are 'better than standard lenses.' Your No&Low Gap options include such features as:

* AR multicoating

* thinner lens materials (mid-grade 1.55 & 1.56 indexes)

* photochromatic lenses with our QuickTint lens choice.

With entry-level health fund benefit amounts and as part of the No &Low Gap offering, polarised and UV-tinted lenses are available for a minimal upgrade. Moreover, if you are in a higher tier of optical coverage with your health fund, you may likely get prescription sunglass options with nothing further to pay. That's definitely worth asking about!

And if you did go for the multifocal option - you will be impressed! Island Optical Tasmania & Optical Superstore Australia-wide provides the best quality multifocal lens option in Australia amongst our competitors' "No Gap" offerings.

That's right! No 'standard multifocal' lens designs are allowed

in our health fund-based promotions.

Feel free to ask about the Precision HT multifocal lens design we proudly stand by.

Flexible pricing tiers

Do you get annoyed with the relatively poor choice on offer regarding spectacle frames in those 'no gap' promotions? We think that's very average too.

Our frame range is structured across two flexible pricing tiers. This means that even percentage-based health fund claims fit into the No&Low Gap promotions on offer. So regardless of your budget or health fund entitlement amount, you're sure to find exceptional frame styles on offer. Here's how we tick all the boxes:

Spring-hinge frames? Tick!

Colourful and contemporary styles and shapes? Tick!

Robust frame builds and variety to match? Tick!

Refrain from paying more for frames and prescription lenses purely because options are limited under your health fund benefits. We start with SUPER out of the gate!

But I wear contact lenses?

And we don't just provide eyeglasses. We offer highly competitive pricing on contact lenses across several brands and modalities. So whether you wear daily disposable lenses or fortnightly and monthly lens styles, our price points have great value around your health fund benefit allowance.

Check out our online pricing for contact lenses here.

Variations in prescription options are included.

We are keen to cater for different prescription options so you can find the perfect glasses for your needs. For example, you may be after two pairs of single-vision glasses, needing one pair for reading tasks and the second pair for distance vision. We do that!

What about two pairs of close-work glasses, one set for your natural reading position and the other for that specific PC/laptop distance or workspace? Done!

Isn't that SUPER! We're tailoring and customising single-vision or multifocal glasses to your specific lifestyle and vision needs.

Your Complete Guide to the Best Photochromatic or Adaptive Lenses

It might be a hassle to wear prescription glasses and sunglasses in the summer because you have to carry two pairs with you at all times and switch between them when you go from indoors to outdoors. However, one pair can be worn thanks to light-adaptive photochromic lenses continuously. These smartly designed two-in-one glasses adjust to the brightness, protecting your eyes while sparing you the hassle of constantly changing lenses.

Without having to think about it, adaptive eyeglasses in Grande Prairie give you the greatest eyesight possible in every lighting through various tints.

1-What advantages can photochromatic lenses offer?

These glasses help block up to 100% of UVA/UVB light and aid in lowering eye strain, eye damage, and possible increased risk of cataracts in later life.

Convenience: Instead of carrying shades and eyeglasses in Grande Prairie, you can switch between the two.

It could help you save money: Photochromic glasses are essentially two-in-one, so you won't need to buy separate glasses and sunglasses.

2-How do they function?

Regular sunglasses use polarisation or coloured filters to block out specific light wavelengths. Since photochromic lenses are made of carbon, UV causes the molecules to change form and absorb light, making the lenses appear darker. The lenses will get darker as there is more UV radiation present. Depending on the UV levels, they change proportionally from clear to various deeper colours.

3-Who requires them?

Like regular glasses, photochromic lenses can be worn daily throughout the day. They are useful for everyone, especially those who frequently move from interiors to outdoors.

fourteen

Children who are not likely to be able to balance two pairs of glasses—regular and sunglasses—can benefit greatly from photochromic eyeglasses in Grande Prairie, AB. By shielding them from the sun's harmful UV rays, it also promotes eye health from a young age.

The bottom line

Sunglasses may only sometimes offer the clearest vision since photochromic lenses adjust to light automatically, whereas sunglasses maintain the same tint level. If you want adaptive eyeglasses in Grande Prairie, AB, you should visit I See Optical.

I once gave one of my DnD characters dark-tinted glasses in their final design and had to get glasses shortly after and chose photochromatic ones, because why not, right? And this was absolutely the right call because 1. my eyes are so fucking sunlight-protected and 2. people on the street assume there is something deeply, terribly wrong with me because I am rocking pitch-black sunglasses on a chilly overcast winter afternoon and avoid me like the plague

The Evolution of Vision with Transition Eyewear and 4 Super-Benefits

In a world where technological advancements continue to shape our daily lives, innovation in even the most mundane aspects can significantly enhance our experiences. One such innovation that has revolutionized the way we perceive the world around us is transition eyewear, specifically equipped with photochromatic lenses. This cutting-edge technology seamlessly adapts to varying light conditions, providing wearers with optimal vision and protection. In this blog post, we delve into the fascinating realm of transition eyewear, exploring its history, functionality, and the myriad benefits it brings to those who wear it.

The Evolution of Transition Eyewear:

Transition eyewear, often referred to as photochromatic glasses, has come a long way since its inception. Initially developed in the 1960s, these glasses were a breakthrough in the eyewear industry, offering wearers the convenience of a single pair of glasses that could adapt to different lighting conditions. The early versions, however, had limitations, taking longer to transition and not achieving full darkness in bright sunlight.

Fast forward to the present day, and transition eyewear has undergone significant advancements. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology and innovative materials, modern photochromatic lenses are more responsive, transitioning rapidly between clear and tinted states. This evolution has made them an indispensable accessory for individuals seeking both functionality and style in their eyewear.

Functionality of Photochromatic Lenses:

The magic behind transition eyewear lies in the photochromatic lenses, which contain special molecules that react to UV light. When exposed to sunlight, these molecules undergo a chemical reaction that causes the lenses to darken. Conversely, when the UV light diminishes, such as when indoors or during cloudy days, the lenses gradually return to their clear state.

This automatic adaptation to changing light conditions ensures wearers have optimal vision at all times. It eliminates the need for carrying multiple pairs of glasses or constantly switching between prescription sunglasses and regular eyeglasses. The seamless transition from clear to tinted lenses enhances the overall visual experience while protecting the eyes from harmful UV rays.

Benefits of Transition Eyewear:

Versatility: Transition eyewear seamlessly adapts to various lighting conditions, providing wearers with a versatile and convenient solution for both indoor and outdoor activities.

UV Protection: Photochromatic lenses offer UV protection, safeguarding the eyes from the harmful effects of prolonged sun exposure. This is particularly crucial in preventing conditions such as cataracts and other UV-related eye issues.

Reduced Eye Strain: The automatic adjustment of the lenses helps reduce eye strain caused by sudden changes in light. This is especially beneficial for individuals who spend extended periods outdoors or those who work in environments with varying light conditions.

Cost-Efficiency: Transition eyewear eliminates the need for multiple pairs of glasses, potentially saving users money on purchasing and maintaining separate prescription glasses and sunglasses.

Transition eyewear has undoubtedly transformed the eyewear landscape, offering wearers a dynamic and practical solution for vision correction and eye protection. As we continue to prioritize convenience and innovation in our daily lives, the evolution of transition eyewear stands as a testament to the ongoing commitment to enhancing our experiences through technological advancements. So, whether you're an avid outdoor enthusiast, a busy professional, or someone who simply values clear vision, consider making the transition to photochromatic lenses and embrace a clearer, more adaptive way of seeing the world.
