What's the difference of these photochromic lenses on amazon?

What's the difference between "clear black" and "black clear" they're both labeled as photochromic lenses.

One changes from clear to black and the other from black to clear.

Do they give you Oakley part numbers in the descriptions?
If they share the same part numbers, then they're the same lenses... probably just sold by different folks.

Actually I don't think there is any difference. Black to clear doesn't exist. Its only clear to black in sunlight.

Black to clear exists if you go from sunlight to indoors. What if you buy them outside?

I personally don't really think the transition is dramatic enough to warrant the cost. I've been wearing my Flak2.0's the past few days with overcast skies and then one day when it was sunny and they never got dark enough in the sunlight...but that's my opinion. Mine definitely get more reflective from the outside looking in, but there's a very minimal change in light transmission looking out.

And I have the Clear to Black Transition Lenses.

I wonder if anyone else can chime in to corroborate.

I have clear to black in Radarlock, Flak 2.0 and Radar EV. All of mine transition fairly quickly in sunlight. Love them.

Mine have too- I like them when I am bicycling in variable light.
