Driving with photo-chromatic transition lenses.

Sometimes new varifocals can take time for the brain to adjust to.

If you possess one 🤣

Last night was the first time driving for a long period (4hrs) at night on single carriageway roads* with my transition lenses. After about an hour I took them off and my vision was much clearer, distance prescription is 0.95 so almost nothing.
Not sure I will get transition lenses next time.

* It's Ireland and the motorways don't run from Rosslare to Lahinch apart from one bit round Limerick.

I’m pretty certain that I do possess one as I’ve been wearing varifocals since the mid 1970s, and pre empting your next post…….Yes they do get taken off, and renewed too 😂

My new transitions are almost clear in the car, even in sunlight. I chose them to be non reactive when driving. If I need tints for driving I’ve got Polaroid varifocal sunglasses or clip ons.

As are my transitions but there is just a hint of shade about them even in the dark. Normally not a problem yesterday was an exceptional drive not my normal sort of thing, four hours without a comfort break😱

You might be in need of a good anti coagulant if you do stints like that.
