Light reflected from surfaces such as a flat road or smooth water is generally horizontally polarized. This means that, instead of light being scattered in all directions in more usual ways, reflected light generally travels in a more horizontally oriented direction. This creates an annoying and sometimes dangerous intensity of light that we experience as glare.
Photochromic or Transition is the kind of lenses that react to UV light. they stay clear Indoor when deactivated (approximately 15% absorption), and outdoors they respond to the harmful UVA and UVB rays darkening down as sunglasses, serving to protect your eyes against the long-term effects of sunlight. They are available in Grey, Brown, Pink, and Purple, these all filter 100% of UV light.
Progressive is also called No-Line Bifocal or Varifocal. These lenses combine three visions all in one lens. The distance and reading portions of the lens blend together with a gradual progression from one to the other, giving a third area of the lens, an intermediate vision which allows for clear vision at arms distance, so providing glasses to see in the far, middle and near distance with no dividing lines or segments - just one simple lens for all uses.
