I received some dark glasses from Goggles4u but they're way too light (Rx, price are good.) Couple questions:

Anyone try the RIT dye in hot water trick to darken glasses? (I need them soon. I ordered medium, dark makes it hard to see road hazards in shade, light is pretty worthless but that's what I got.)

Any recommendations for photosensitive glasses? I ordered some long ago but think they get lighter with age, they only get 20% dark sitting a while in bright sun.

(I realize they don't get dark when hot or in a car.) If you've got photosensitive, transitions or similar glasses that get fairly dark when outdoors in direct sunlight please let me know where you got them and any details. I don't went to spend more for glasses that don't help if on snow or water.

me again, yes RIT dye works, from rite-aid, 1-2 oz per quart, very hot (boiling may warp frame,) brown took awhile to get dark.
