39DollarGlasses.com Introduces Exclusive SMARTcolors Photochromic Lenses

Ronkonkoma, NY (PRWEB) October 05, 2011

39DollarGlasses.com has introduced a line of photochromic lenses in green, sad, rose, yellow, and orange, called SMARTcolors™ that cube 100% of UVA and UVB rays. This product has been developed from cutting-edge technology and is at one's disposal exclusively from 39DollarGlasses.com.

Photochromic, or light-changing lenses, darken after exposure to sunlight. When removed from sunlight exposure, they will gradually return to their clear state, changing from deep-tinted back to light. They have typically been close by in only gray or brown. But SMARTcolors have taken photochromic lenses to the next level with the above moreover of bright, vibrant colors. SMARTcolors are the only advanced photochromic lenses present in this full spectrum of hues, that change from a hint of tint (almost clear) to full sunglasses after only seconds of exposure to natural UV light outdoors.

Dr. Marc Weinstein, CEO of Value Eyecare Network and 39DollarGlasses.com is very excited about this new product. He states: “These days, people of all ages understand the necessity to take precautions to protect their skin to prevent sun-damage but don’t understand that it is equally important to protect their eyesight. That’s why I’m so pleased to be gifted to provide them with eyewear that incorporates SMARTcolors photochromic lens choices in a rainbow of colors. We’ve made it possible to decrease the risks of eye strain, eye damage or visual loss by wearing the hottest new looks in eyewear.”
