SunSync Drive XT outperforms other conventional photochromic lenses in three key areas:

SunSync Drive XT light-reactive lenses are an extra-active, photochromic lens that gets darker outdoors and stays dark in the car. This transition drivewear lens is specially formulated to provide wearers the following benefits:
SunSync Drive XT is drivewear lens that retains all the benefits of SunSync Light-Reactive Lenses while introducing in-car activation and a darker outdoor color.
SunSync Drive XT is a transition drivewear lens that activates in response to both UV and visible light, unlike standard photochromic lenses which activate in response to UV light only.
Standard photochromic lenses that only activate in response to UV light do not typically darken or stay dark in a car because most car windshields block UV light from entering the car. SunSync Drive XT lenses activate in response to both UV and natural visible light. Therefore, the visible light coming through the windshield and side windows allows the drivewear lenses to retain color in the car.
SunSync Drive XT is near-clear indoors and darker than original SunSync outdoors. In its activated state in the car, SunSync Drive XT is slightly less dark than its full dark color outdoors.
SunSync Drive XT is available in 1.50 plastic, polycarbonate, Trivex, and 1.67 high-index.
SunSync Drive XT is available on the following Unity® and Ethos® lens designs:
SunSync Drive XT is also available on Shamir lens designs.

Yes. In fact, adding a premium anti-reflective coating like TechShield® Elite will enhance the performance of SunSync Drive XT drivewear lenses. However, we do not recommend adding a blue-light-reducing AR coating like TechShield Blue because it intentionally reduces the amount of blue (visible) light reaching the lens, which can negatively impact lens performance.
In lab testing, SunSync Drive XT lenses outperformed Transitions XTRActive for darkness, clarity, and fade-back speed.1

"Sunsync lenses made it very convenient to have 2 in 1 pair of lens when driving or coming out of a building specially here in Florida. The automatic change from indoors to outdoors and vice versa is fantastic. I definitely will recommend this product to my family and friends who use glasses." Vivian C., SunSync wearer
