Transitions glasses have some great benefits, particularly when wearing them as everyday spectacles. The photochromic lenses in the glasses darken as they are exposed to the ultraviolet rays in daylight-but they have one significant disadvantage in that until now they have not been appropriate or beneficial for use as driving glasses. When wearing glasses for driving, you are typically trying to address two primary concerns (apart from the prescription eyeglass lenses remediating vision of course) – glare from either oncoming traffic, or reflections from road surfaces caused by moisture for example, and as prescription sunglasses that can attenuate or reduce the brightness of incoming sunlight. Modern windscreens, however, take away one of these benefits as they are designed to absorb the ultraviolet light that has been necessary to activate the photochromic reaction in the glasses lenses. Drivewear lenses resolve this conflict by using unique and patented dyes in the transitions lenses

Prescription Sunglasses Lenses Nowadays, with technology growing, you'll notice that sunglasses aren't just available with one standard prescription lens. They now come with a choice of superior polarised lenses. There are significant differences between the lenses. Some are obvious while others won't be noticeable until you have tried polarised lenses. When shopping for new prescription sunglasses, be sure to weigh up the pros and cons of both lenses. This will help you find the perfect sunglasses. The Difference Between Standard & Polarised Lenses Apart from being more expensive, polarised lenses differ from standard lenses in one main way. The vertical ‘polarisers’ block the transmission of horizontal light through the lenses, dramatically reducing glare. Glare can hit your eyes from the road, the bonnet or windscreen of a car, water surfaces, and any other horizontal plane the sun can reflect off. The difference between the two lenses is very apparent when you hold them next to one

If there was ever a celebrity who was well known for wearing glasses, it would have to be Elton John. Born in 1947 and so a long time before alternatives such as laser surgery became available to correct myopia, Elton started wearing glasses from a very early age. Born into a very modest household, in his younger days, he would depend on the national health service for his spectacles. Perhaps it was the lack of fashion spectacles that were available from the service that instilled in him the desire for more flamboyant eyewear. With the debut album Goodbye Yellow Brick Rd., Elton’s path to fame and subsequent riches began as did the start of his huge glasses collection. Nobody really knows exactly how many pairs of glasses Elton has bought and worn over his career, one of the earliest comments that he made about his spectacles collection was in 2002 when he claimed to own over 2000 pairs of glasses. More recently in an interview with BBC radio two, he increased this estimate to over 20,000
