Transitions
Transitions are photochromic lenses darkening technology that was created to make lenses adopt to outside lighting conditions. When you step outdoors, lenses react to UV and darken providing a comfort of sun lenses. Once you step indoors lenses lighten to complete transparency and act as regular lenses. Choose among two transitions tint colors. |
- Grey looks good on gunmetal, silver and black frames
- Brown looks good on brown, gold, bronze and tortoise frames

Sizes |
How glasses sizes work.
Glasses sizes are broken down to two or three numbers:
- Frame lens width. Typically 48-60 mm. This is the size of each lens width measured in the vertical middle of the lens. Total frame width would be two times lens width plus bridge width.
- Bridge width.Bridge is the area of eyeglasses that holds the two lenses together. It is usually 10-20 mm long.
- Temple width.Temple is the arm of the eyeglasses that holds glasses on your face behind your ear. Temple width is typically 130-140 mm long. Most of temples are 135 mm and this measure is not always provided.
Majority of sunglasses are made in only one size. Some, not all glasses can be made in two or three sizes.
