Frequently asked

Frequently asked

How fast do Snap Specs lenses tint?
About 10 seconds, switching from clear to dark electronically.
Do they work behind a windshield?
Yes. Because they tint electronically rather than reacting to UV light, they still darken behind UV-blocking glass like a car windshield.
