    Many of the Rx (prescription) lenses that are available as "photochromic" use the technologies provided by Transitions Optical:

    Signet Armorlite is a source for Rx photochromic lenses under the product name "KODAK InstaShades".

    There are some new Rx photochromic lens products from Vision-Ease and Three Rivers Optical:

    I'm not sure if this product is able to be applied to an existing CR-39 lens, but it has many applications for its use. It was developed by PPG, which Transition is a subsidiary of.PPG Photosol

    You'll find it right between the scratch removing liquid and the brush-on progressive bifocal fluid.

    Photochroamtic chemicals is made in England..................terribly expensive and you will still have to do the R&D, to find a way of applying it, which is not covered any valid patent.

    Better stick to your Transition lenses................might be a lot cheaper than playing around with chemicals doing something you have no idea about.
