I had to be outside the aircraft in direct sunlight for them to darken, and as soon as I hopped into the cockpit, they cleared up again. Waste of money.
I tried this thinking it would be the perfect solution.
Unfortunately, Transition lenses DON’T work in the A320 and only partially work in the car. For all the reasons above. Don’t waste the money, just get a pair of clear and a pair of sunglasses the same once you have them sorted. (I also found a “lighter” tint is better for the sunglasses as this helps with the areas not in sunlight)
Getting old sux😩🤓
