Title: Thinking about getting transition lenses
Post by: EtherShock on July 05, 2005, 12:09:37 am: I have to get my eyes checked soon, and I'm thinking about trying those transition (photo-sensitive) lenses. Anyone have any experience with these? It'd be nice to not have to carry around my magnetic sunglasses.

That happened to me, my current glasses aren't transition (because they're special anti-glare lenses or something) and it's way too bright.

If you have a girlfriend she might complain that she can't see your eyes though. ;)

Peril sensitive. :lol:

:lol: Nah, not these superdominant, generic dark brown eyes.

No; you'll end up looking like a paedophile-stroke-rapist, skulking about in glasses shaded just slightly too dark to be normal.
