While it seemed like a fun prank at the time, I realize my prank fire extinguishers full of leaded gasoline were a mistake.

Every single glasses of mine have had transition lenses, I can't imagine my life without them anymore.
I love transitions lenses. I have transitions contacts and they are fantastic.
Omg, does that mean your “eye color” changes in the sun?
If you keep one eye closed and expose the other to sunlight, you can see the difference. The lenses tint a dark shade of purple. I have dark brown eyes, so you can't really notice the difference easily. There is a purple ring that is most noticeable outside of the limbal ring. They don't turn your eyes black like you had the tint of sunglasses or transitions glasses, which would be cool.
I would imagine someone with lighter color eyes, like really light blue, would have a very noticeable difference.
Something I did notice as the wearer is when the lenses are tinted there is like a contrast filter on your vision so colors look better.
Holy cow-had no idea they made those.
They kind of released under the radar because a comedy skit about them came out and gaslighted people into believing they were not a real thing.
I only found them because I went to order contacts and saw the product category.
They aren't as good as sunglasses(but are really awesome) and they don't work much in the car so you will still want sunglasses.
Same. Although mine became a lot less useful after becoming a night owl.
