I haven prescription sunglasses. Generally I don’t wear them inside, occasionally I’ll forget that I have them until after I’m in the store though. My eyesight without glasses is terrible so I leave them on. Sorry if I look like an asshole but I would have trouble navigating my way and finding what I need without them.

Transition lenses are great. Try them for your next pair. They do lag a few seconds transitioning back to transparent when going indoors.

They kinda suck for driving though, because they don't turn dark inside a car.

They will also go dark when it’s overcast outside because they react to UV and not visible light. So your glasses will get dark when it’s already cloudy, which is not great

I guess I never noticed. I always wear a ball cap when driving, always have before wearing glasses. Just another tool I use and have not given it much thought.

They take ~2 minutes to go from dark to light and most don't ever go perfectly clear so there is always a super slight tint.

They go dark super fast though.. like 10 seconds.
