The doubt left is, I think, what to have besides the sunglasses.
A transparent-lenses pair of glasses, or one with Photofusion X?
I also don't trust wholly the thing that indoors, when they are about 8% tinted, vision is the same as with transparent lenses. Not easy to notice the difference, I trust. The same, I don't.
It's like losing a bit of that colour fidelity that makes us want Zeiss lenses in the first place, seems to me (I haven't tried these lenses, any of them).

Good video, I would like to know if you can get adaptive glasses that clip onto you glasses. I have to get glasses after cataract surgery. One eye I have monocular diplopia and the other eye I have negative dysphotopsia. I would like to get a progressive glasses but because I do a lot of drive I think that the adaptive lens would be best for me.

Hi Rob, what is the make and model of the sunglasses frames you're wearing in this videos.
I recently started watching your videos and they are excellent. Really great content. Bringing frame brands that are not always heard of to light.
The tint vids were also really informative

Dear Robert, thanks for this video, I have a question. Is your prescription playing a role if you choose this option? I have two different strengths in dioptrie in both eyes with one eye more astigmatic than the other. Does this have an influence on the color change of the lenses individually? I would appreciate your answer. Cheers from Belgium.

AT LAST! I have been searching for something just like Zeiss Adaptive Sun lenses with a flash coating. After a long search to find a shop that utilizes Zeiss technology and products, I was informed that Zeiss does not sell Adaptive Sun in the US. A stupid corporate decision IMHO. I don't think Essilor makes an equivalent lens. Frustrating...

Hi
Very nice explanation. I just got my prescription photo fusion x and most of time they don't turn dark to sunglasses level even though sun shine is bright.
And from your video I learnt that they don't work well while driving otherwise I was perplexed what's happening. Thank you for the valuable information.
Why don't they turn dark in bright sunlight? Anything to do with UV in sunlight?
Thanks

Awesome videos. I’m guessing there’s no way to get photofusion lenses here in the US at this point. Looks like they perform much better then the leading transition lenses here.

Do the adaptive sun lenses allow for my prescriptions? Don’t wear contacts, so I always get rx on my sunglass lens. The Adaptives do sound like a good idea tho. Thx

I purchase all my eyewear with photochromic lenses. UV is present all year around. I tend to not wear sunglasses in the fall & winter which I should on those bright cold days. Spring to early fall I will wear sunglasses. After watching your videos I purchased gradient mirror & full mirror sunglasses. It is definitely clearer to see while driving & city biking. No need to use car sun visor.

Interesting video. One important comment: both these lenses are photochromic. AdaptiveSun are photochromic, hence their ability to become darker when there is a lot of UV. Adaptive Sun are photochromic sunglasses.

Here in the United States, it's very hard to get PhotoFusion, and PhotoFusion and Transitions are very different in terms of performance. Having PhotoFusion has made me hate Transitions, which have a LOT of weaknesses, including very ugly tints and slow processing when exposed to UV light and when returning indoors. PhotoFusion are like having a dimmer switch, as they adapt so effortlessly to light. The blue tint is gorgeous. I get compliments on mine all the time, which blows my mind because most people hate "transition lenses" (in the US, at least, people think only one company makes photochromic lenses). Also, this is another comment for US-based people, but Zeiss lenses and coatings are superior to all others. I wear progressives, and have tried so many different brands and nothing (!) -- except Shamir, which are also pretty great -- even come close to Zeiss. I don't drive all that much, so I think photochromic is more important than sunglasses, or at least equally important. But in the spring and summer, if I just have my windows down or cracked, enough light gets in that my photochromic lenses work well enough. :-)

I've looked online and I can't seem to find approximate costs of either of these lenses. The photo fusion lenses would be with a prescription, so that's extra. However, I'd like to use the Adaptive Sun lenses when I'm wearing contacts. How much are the plano lenses?

Another excellent video. Zeiss Adaptive Sun seems like the way to go. Even for the UK regular photochromic do not go dark enough. I think the UK is actually quite bright during spring and summer. Or maybe I am becoming more light sensitive...

Thanks for the presentation and explanation. Both technologies are brilliant. I found with my sun adaptive they function really well indoors too (except in really dark light). If you can afford it definitely best to have both 👍
I think these Zeiss lenses are the best !
