What makes Silque lenses different from other photochromatic lenses?

Silque offers a vibrant range of photochromic colours that activate quickly and provide noticeable level of darkening even inside the car. It combines eye-catching style with everyday visual comfort, adapting seamlessly to changing light conditions.
