Hi,
I just got these 100% photochromic sunglasses and noticed something weird with the tint.
At the bottom of the lens, the photochromic tint seems to stop very sharply. You can clearly see a line where the lens suddenly becomes lighter (circled in the photo).
Is this normal for 100% photochromic lenses, or does it look like a defect?
Thanks!

I have the same frame, non photochromatic though. It maybe some kind of touch protection as you can change the lenses in this frame? Might be worth a YouTube search for a review or promo to see it shows there?
Was it wedged in the case? Did you leave it out for a while to see if it would change?
I’ve seen something like this happen to my photochromic lenses when only a portion of the lenses is exposed to sunlight. Try exposing them fully to UV for a bit and see if that changes its appearance.
That happens if you leave a part of the lens in the sun and a part of the lens **not** in the sun. Main reseal I hate those type of glasses.
Is that so you can read instruments on your handlebars? Some of my sunglasses have considerably lighter shading at the bottom portion.
More photo – more chromic and vice versa, so different photo – different chromic. I’ve had my photochromic glasses partly shaded and they darkend to different levels.
Expose the whole thing to sunlight for a while and see if the tint changes. I thought my pair had a cracked lens, but nope! A hair had fallen over them while I was riding. They darkened normally after I brushed the hair away.
