Sunglasses with electrochromic lenses that allow users to manually switch between clear and tinted modes have been introduced by Skugga Eyewear. The user can manually adjust the Skugga sunglasses with the companion app, which allows them to monitor the level of their UV exposure. Users can also switch between auto and two user-defined tint presets by flipping the right arm of the glasses. 

Like photochromic lenses, electrochromic lenses automatically switch from clear to tinted when exposed to UV light. However, while photochromic lenses take several seconds to switch, electrochromic lenses switch instantly.

The glasses themselves are charged through induction, and the frame can accommodate prescription lenses. The glasses' battery is charged wirelessly and can operate for eight hours in auto mode and 12 hours in manual.
