I paid a small fortune to get Drivewear lenses in my oakleys and they honestly didn't do anything that spectacular. They did not transition very much, if at all, and I told my eye doctor this. All I would see was a world colored in brown, how wonderful.

My Doctor said he got a ton of returns on these lenses. ALSO, we later learned these lenses are only warrantied by the manufacture for one year since they may actually stop transitioning after about 12 months. WTF, this sounds insane!

My suggestion, skip these gimmicky lenses and buy a good pair of sunglasses instead.

Maybe my expectations were low........ But am pleased to say that these driving glasses are great. I am legally blind but have a lot of useful vision. When I go shopping or sit in the car ,don't worry I am not the driver, I find them very responsive. When glare is an issue you have to use different shades for different light conditions. I highly recommend these.

My husband switiches sunglasses while driving constantly. As conditions change while he is driving, I am frequently looking for the pair he wants to switch to. Usually they are in the other car. So I purchased these for him. We are both pleased with the Drivewear Polarized Transition Glasses. The lenses change...so you don't have to.

Vision and protection are the main reason I wear sunglasses. Increased comfort and vision are why I use Drivewear for driving.

Sunglasses
Many sunglasses come with single color polarized lens. They are typically used only outdoors and are ideal to wear on a sunlit beach or snow-covered slope. They are too dark to use at night, inside, or anywhere that you have rapidity changing brightness conditions.

Single color dark sunglasses lens are not safe for all driving conditions. When driving from bright sunlight into darkness, a driver wearing single color dark lenses may be temporary blinded, which reduces the time a driver has to react in an unexpected "see-and-avoid" traffic situation.

Polarized Lens
Only polarized lenses give us protection from blinding glare. Driving from bright sunlight into darkness, a driver wearing single color, dark lenses may be temporary blinded, which reduces the time we have to react in an unexpected "see-and-avoid" traffic situation. On the racetrack at Indy, the Penske team is testing Drivewear face shields, which automatically shift in changing light conditions.

Polarized lens cut glare and haze when driving so that your eyes are more comfortable and you can see better. They can reduce glare, from long, flat surfaces like the hood of your car, or the road's surface. Boaters, golfers, and joggers will benefit from polarized sunglasses. Bikers who wear a full-face shield should know that face shield stress marks would show up and interfere with vision. Skiers should know by eliminating reflected glare, they mask ice patches on the slopes. Polarizing makes it impossible to see sheet ice on the road.

It is important to get maximum protection from blinding glare, and only polarized lenses can do this. With the addition of transitional properties, drivers enjoy a clearer view along with the elimination of most glares when moving into, and out of the sun.

Drivewear lenses self adjust with changing light conditions, helping to enhance visual performance and the driving experience by automatically changing their degree of darkness and color. You can test the changingness of your lens by covering one of the lens in the dark, then exposing the lenses to direct sunlight.

Photochromic lenses
With changing weather conditions, the need to spot hazards, processing the speed and direction of other cars, and recognizing traffic signals and signs. Prescriptions, can be had with Drivewear lens fitted, to bring to the eye, the best contrast in the varying light conditions, as well as blocking out dangerous glare and haze.

Drivewear lens allows up to 37% of the light at low lighting conditions to get in. The Drivewear medium setting are equivalent to about 25%, and the darkest setting only allows 10% of the light for maximum sunlight conditions.

This means that Drivewear starts very dark driving with the top down, it gets lighter with the top up, and continues to lighten for indoor, computer and night-time use. Because of changing weather conditions, the need to spot hazards, processing the speed and direction of other cars, and recognizing traffic signals and signs. Vision insurance plans will pay for prescription lenses, with polarized photochromic lenses.

Racetrack glasses
Racing drivers claim Drivewear makes it easier to concentrate on other aspects of the race. With the addition of transitional properties, polarized lenses give a clearer view, along with the elimination of most glares when moving into and out of the sun.

Night Driving
On dark unlit roads the best thing for night driving is no tint at all, that is, do not wear sunglasses driving at in the dark. But on streetlight lit roads especially in the rain. Polarized lens with an anti-reflective coating on the inside can make things appear clearer. This is easy for you to test. While driving on familiar routes, occasionally lift your glasses and you can see the difference. Most of the useful light is still there, it is the reflected scattered light, rings around approaching headlights etc. that polarization dims. This means that if these are the only prescription glasses with you, you can still drive home with caution.

Computer screens
Polarized lenses cannot be used in airplanes with thick laminated windshields; it masks the reflections coming off air traffic, making it harder to spot other airplanes. The Drivewear lens works fine on the Apple iMac screen but on the LED Cinema Display like many LCD displays and GPS receivers, they mask the screen making them harder to read unless seen at an angle.

Drivewear lenses improve contrast in the varying light conditions, as well as blocking out dangerous glare and haze. I wear prescription Drivewear polarized photochromic driving lenses installed in Maui Jim Pilot frames.
