Photochromic safety lenses
One exciting development is the introduction of photochromic lenses to safety frames. Photochromic lenses automatically darken from clear lenses to smoke-coloured sunglass lenses when exposed to UV. So one pair of Ugly Fish safety glasses can now protect your peepers in any light conditions.
For workers who move from indoor to outdoor, or early-morning starts to full sun, having a pair of glasses that works all day long means you’re less likely to forget to carry the right pair with you. How does it work?
The carbon molecules in photochromic lenses react to UV by changing their shape and absorbing light. This makes the lenses begin to appear darker. The more UV rays there are, the darker the lenses will become. It takes just 30 seconds for the lenses to darken!
