Advanced Sunglasses

As we all know, sunglasses act as a protector for our eyes against the harmful UV lights. However, today’s sunglasses are offering a lot more than the basic feature. The new feature of sunglasses will be a great offer to people who wear corrective glasses. It is a mess to change glasses whenever you move from indoors to outdoors and vice versa. Other than that, the possibility of misplacing or losing one of your glasses is very high as you will not have too much time to properly store the previously worn glasses.

Let us look at the advanced glasses that can offer both features, which are as corrective lenses and as sunglasses. These lenses are called photo chromic. They are able to change colors based on the light exposure. When the lenses are worn indoors, the color will be transparent, similar to the normal corrective lenses. Once the lenses are exposed to a direct UV light, the lenses will darken its color thus mimicking the sunglasses.

The capability of the sunglasses to change its color from dark to transparent when going from outdoors to indoors is not a new feature among us. We have known about this feature for quite some time. Do not be surprised that the advanced sunglasses are equipped with more features. The new feature allows the sunglasses to change to more variety of shades. For example, the available shades are purple, yellow, and green.

Other improved feature is that the time for the lenses to change its color is much faster and users will now be able to adjust their vision through the lenses. The adjustment will allow users to toggle the contrast and brightness. These features will be useful when viewing things in low light environment. Users will be capable to control the transition by controlling small equipment that will be worn on their arm.

The science behind this technology is the concept of electrical charge. The lenses are made from plastic that is sensitive to electrical charge. Whenever they receive the charges, they will change their colors and adjust to a suitable transparency. In order to ensure the quality of the lenses, manufacturer has installed a layer in between the lenses. This layer holds a gel material that helps to transfer the electrical charges.

Other than improved vision, the advanced sunglasses are now capable to offer more than that. Researchers and developers have explored the opportunities to diversify the use of sunglasses. Sunglasses that are available in the market now can serve you as a mobile phone as well. Other than that, sunglasses now can replace your MP3 player as well.
