DISCOVER THE POWER OF PHOTOCHROMIC LENSES - A GAME-CHANGER FOR YOUR SAFETY GLASSES.
You’ve probably noticed glasses that stay clear indoors but darken when exposed to sunlight—these are known as photochromic or light-reactive lenses.
Sensity® lenses, a premium brand of photochromic lenses we offer, automatically adjust to changing light conditions. They provide reliable UV protection and reduce glare outdoors, while remaining crystal clear indoors.
This light-adaptive technology ensures all-day visual comfort and protection. Let’s explore the key features of Sensity lenses and why they’re a smart upgrade for your safety glasses.
SUPERIOR ADAPTATION
Suppose you work at different locations and switch between indoor and outdoor work. In that case, photochromic lenses are an excellent option to keep your eyes protected and your vision clear.
Sensity lenses have light-sensitive molecules that tell the lens to darken when exposed to UV rays, which give you the perfect transitions between indoor and outdoor lighting conditions. The more UV light they are exposed to, the darker they get!
UV PROTECTION WHEN YOU NEED IT
Prolonged eye exposure to UV rays can cause both short-term issues (eye strain, fatigue, irritation) and long-term damage (corneal damage, cataracts, and possibly macular degeneration).
Adding Sensity photochromic lenses to your safety eyewear is a great way to protect your eyes from this damage without having to switch frames when you walk outside.
ENHANCED DURABILITY
Sensity photochromic lenses are available in polycarbonate or Phoenix® materials and provide the same level of safety as clear lenses.
These two materials are the best options for durability in safety eyewear to protect against impact, splashes, and debris without shattering and injuring your eyes and face.
ULTIMATE CONVENIENCE
Switching back and forth between indoor safety glasses and sunglasses isn’t just annoying; it can also be dangerous. Taking off your safety eyewear for even a moment in an environment where you need it is an opportunity for serious injuries to happen.
With Sensity photochromic lenses, your safety glasses, prescription glasses, and sunglasses are all combined into one perfect pair. You will never have to switch between glasses throughout your day, saving time and protecting you better.
Sensity photochromic lenses are the perfect feature for versatility and protection. Whether you are working in a variety of conditions that vary from indoor to outdoor or just looking to add another helpful feature to your safety eyewear, consider getting your glasses equipped with this technology.
Sensity photochromic lenses can be added to nearly every frame in our catalogue. When you are ready for your next pair of safety glasses, check out the All Australian Safety catalogue and consider this amazing feature!
