If you are fed up of carrying sunglasses and spectacles separately, or are annoyed at your transitional lenses glasses which change with light, then here's some good news.
Imagine eyeglasses that can go quickly from clear to shaded and back again when you want them to, rather than passively in response to changes in light.
Common Eye Disease Due to Outdoor Activities Prevented With Sunglasses
Exfoliation syndrome is an eye condition that is a leading cause of secondary open-angle glaucoma that can lead to an increased risk of cataract and cataract surgery complications.

In the study, led by Anna Osterholm in John Reynolds' group at the Georgia Institute of Technology, the researchers point out that most transitional lenses now on the market don't meet many users' needs. When wearers are driving or wearing a baseball cap, for example, the lenses stay clear rather than switching to a darker shade even in broad daylight.
Also, the majority of available versions don't block out the harshest light, such as bright light reflected off snow. And the change from colored to clear can take several minutes, which has safety implications for certain users including airline pilots. Reynolds' team wanted to find a way to solve these issues.

Three Danish engineers developed Bizarre glasses that are offering hope to depressed people facing a long dark winter.
The researchers have now designed a new kind of lens that can switch within seconds from clear to darkly shaded and back again in response to a small electrical charge that a wearer could control. They can also fine-tune the color of the lenses to match the full range of hues used in commercial sunglasses. To make the lenses, they say they used a method that could be easily scaled up for manufacturing.
The findings are reported in the journal ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces.
