Edit2: in my attempt to be brief, I left out most of the conversation I had with myself. I'm mostly referring to this in a fashion sense. Of course anyone can wear them, but I associate them with older people and I'm curious what younger people think of them

Edit: lenses that get darker in bright sun

So I'm over 40, I think transition lenses are for old people. I'm told younger people are wearing them now but I haven't seen many.

What's your take on it? Saying about how old you are helps

Not really, but you see them a bit more often with old people, because the lenses inside the eyes become less flexible with age.

However, an alternative can be contacts with reading glasses. Can be frustrating to pop out the glasses often. Probably not good for driving idk
