          Photochromic Lens FAQ


          Q1: Why do photochromic lenses transition slower in cold weather?

          A: Temperature directly affects molecular activity. EFE's 3rd Generation technology minimizes this effect, maintaining reliable performance above 32°F (0°C).


          Q2: Are photochromic lenses available for prescriptions over -8.00?

          A: Absolutely! EFE offers 1.74 high-index options that remain slim even for strong prescriptions. Our opticians will recommend the best edge treatment.


          Q3: What if the transition effect weakens over time?

          A: EFE's 2-year warranty covers non-user-caused performance issues. Avoid chemical cleaners to extend lens life.


          Q4: Can all lens materials be made photochromic?

          A: No. EFE uses specially formulated polycarbonate and CR-39 bases for optimal performance. Our consultants will recommend the best material for your needs.
