Why Reactolite Spectacles?

Well, as stated on previous post; What are Reactolite Spectacles; I literally have to wear sunglases pretty much every time… even dough the sunglasses technology of today use polarized glass or plastic that is pretty clear and enhance your vision; there are people who have special needs like me.

Each brand offers different advantages based on the manufacturing process. At the beginning, the original photocromatic glasses were done 100% of glass and didn´t offer many options in colors and fashion.
ccording to my research, the original reactolite spectacles were done by a company named Corning Medical optics. The original glasses were done only in 2 colors, photogray and photobrown; and these ones are available in the market today; over 35 years later!

As the molecules of silver halide are evenly distributed among the internal structure of the glass, this originals reactolite glasses present the inconvenience of becoming darker in the spots where the glass is thicker to follow the prescription. Also if one eye present a different grade of damage and require different thick of glass, there would be a difference in the darkness of each glass making them unreliable for legally blind people like me.

Obviously, Corning's newest photochromics are SunSensors mid-index gray and brown plastic lenses. Unlike their glass counterparts, SunSensors change within 60 seconds to a uniform color density throughout the lenses, regardless of the prescription or lens thickness, according to the company.
My prescription reading glasses use the old green G-15 tint standard; which is the same tint used by Rayban since it´s beginning.

Besides that, it has the reactolite coating that improve the darkness and protection of my eyes when outside in direct sunlight.

It is a matter of style… I can mask the fact that I am legally blind without my reading glasses with been cool wearing aviator style sunglasses every time!
