Do Transition Lenses Activate in the Car?

Transition lenses require UV light to activate. Since most car windshields block UV rays, standard Transition lenses typically do not darken inside the car.

However, some specialized lenses are designed to activate behind the windshield and may offer this functionality. Side windows may allow some activation depending on their UV filtering.
