Transitions lenses are already available in eyeglasses, and help block UV light that is harmful to the human eye.  Acuvue Oasys with Transitions will be the first contact lens to turn dark after being exposed to UV light.

It is important to note that wearing sunglasses is still important to completely protect our eyes from UV light.
