Anyone using Photochromatic lenses ? Do they just adjust light to dark ? Or do they actually change light spectrum also ?
I have seen ads that state, " Adjusts to all conditions " I would take that to mean that it works equally well in flat light and bright sun. I have a feeling that they just adjust to light intensity and not color spectrum. Discuss.

There was a thread on this last year here and I'll say the same thing, I'm very happy with the Zeal photochromatic lenses. But in answer to your questions, yes they do adjust light to dark like the "transition lenses" commercials you see on TV (but not as fast), but with two differences. Mine have a red, rosy tint, not a black one, and they do not get 100% clear at night. That said, you get used to the tint and the tint does lighten up enough to safely ski at night. The red, rosy tint is more noticeable on sunny bluebird days than overcast days. But it's not a big deal to me. It's only a dark, rosy tint when the sun is out and a lighter, rosy tint when it's overcast. I consider them to be Goldilocks lenses because it's never too bright or dark for me, other than going from sun to shade, then it takes a minute or two to adjust. But yes, I very much agree with the claim "adjusts to all conditions".

My Zeal lenses are not only photochromatic, but polarized too. Again, best goggles to date by FAR. And Zeal is an American company too (not sure where made though).
