I have just realised, even after having watched this video, that I have been wearing my glasses, with progressive, brown, Zeiss Adaptive Sun lenses, in the house for the past two hours or so. Yes, of course, everything is lighter now that I have changed to my clear lenses, but I was able to see clearly before I did so. My transition from a bright sunny day outside to inside was barely perceptible - evidently - but the AS lenses certainly make being outside a lot more comfortable.

I am excited as recently depensed some of these lenses. I feel like the patients are going to be so happy with them. Thanks going into so much detail. It makes me feel so much more confident when advising. 😻 X

I was disappointed that we don't get Adaptive Sun in the US. But Robert was able to get these done for me. A few quick emails, and I was able to get my sunglasses done with all the bells and whistles. Thanks again to Robert and his team. I may have asked a lot of stupid questions but they never once made feel like an idiot and answered them all very informatively. I went with the SmartLife Individual 1.6 Adaptive Sun in Polarized Gray with the Duravision Flash Diamond coating.

Love the channel. I'm sure that just like any photochromic, these won't get as dark in hot climates. Temps where I live range from -35 to +35. Don't get me wrong, they're as good as any of the other top-tier photochromic lenses on the market, but they all get rather meh in hot climates and fade back in cold weather is dismally slow

Another great video with lots of useful information! You mentioned using it for driving, does adaptivesun darken in car as well? I currently have photofusion and that’s the biggest problem I have. PS: can you do another video to show the difference between smartlife, clear view and drivesafe in real life. In the past video, you mentioned they are the made differently, but always wonder how they impact the vision in real life.

Hi Robert, your videos made me discover the incredible asthetics of glasses to which I was ignorant all this years. Concernig the Zeiss AdaptiveSun gradient tint: since a bit sensitive to artificial light I plan to to get those AdaptiveSun gradients built into my regular everday frames which I plan to wear in the office. Is the gradient tint recommendable to wear indoors and what particular colour would you go with for computer work mostly?

I like brown...I have a pair of ray ban aviators from back in the day when Ray ban was made by bauch and lomb....somehow they've survived a few scratches on the lenses...but I've had many pair of sunglasses..(Smith.. vaurnet..nikon..many ray ban..persol etc) most were damaged to unwearable. But the aviators are the most used. I also have a pair of Oakley wrap around for severe sun days..I work outside...and an extra pair of rayban's with fuse lenses (in case) Of course at 67 last I bought sunglasses was 10 years ago

Would putting a bronze mirror (not flash) on the brown lenses tone down the warmth a bit? Make them a bit more cool while keeping the awesome contrast? I have a brown polarized pair for about 2 years and absolutely love them, but I'd like to take the warmth from the brown tint a tad lower.

Here in the US, the Zeiss lab said they don't offer Adaptive Sun. Something about not FDA approved. However, they can pair Photofusion X with a permanent gradient tint (75/25) for almost the same end result. And you can do a flash coating as well.

Hi Robert, thanks for another great video. I was wondering, would it be possible to have a gradient green base tint (max 25%) and add photofusion x green on it? And if so, how could that compare to adaptive sun green gradient? Thinking about the versatility indoors and outdoors...

@thespectaclefactory 2 ай бұрын

No, Adaptive Sun are pre-set tints. But you could do this with Transitions technology on a non-Zeiss lens

@abhijitdhargalkar6583 Ай бұрын

Thanks for the information. However as many brand photochromic lenses I have tried they do not darken as much in outside sunlight...not even 20%. They are good only when exposed to UV light torch. Is this something to do with operating temperature of the lenses? I live in climate conditions which are over 40deg Cel during summer. In your videos the lenses look to darken so high

@thespectaclefactory Ай бұрын

Yes, many photochromci lenses are temperature sensitive. Adaptive Sun works really well in hot weather, in my experience
