FAQS ABOUT ColorMatic®

Photochromic lenses aren’t just another option – they are one of the smartest innovations in modern lenses. Still, many customers have questions. Here are clear answers to the most common questions for you to use in your store.

ColorMatic® lenses contain light-sensitive molecules in the lens material. When exposed to UV light, these molecules change structure and darken the lens. Indoors, without UV, they return to their clear state. This constant reaction means the lenses adapt seamlessly to changing light.

Yes. The dyes are embedded deep within the lens material, ensuring maximum scratch resistance for the lifetime of the glasses.

ColorMatic® Dark is the only lens in our range that activates behind the windscreen of a car. This ensures glare protection and comfort while driving. For longer journeys in strong sunlight, sunglasses are still advised.

ColorMatic® X always stays crystal clear indoors.

ColorMatic® Dark is also clear indoors where there is no UV transmission. It activates moderately next to a window and behind the windscreen of a car.
