After-Dark Photochromic Sunglasses

FORK Eyewear Adds Its First Photochromic Lenses to Six Frames

FORK Eyewear is expanding its unisex sunglasses line with six new silhouettes for Fall 2026, strengthening the line's day-to-night focus. Select colorways feature the brand's first photochromic lenses, which darken outdoors and clear in lower light.

The collection mixes oval, squared-off, rectangular, and wraparound frames, with finishes in shades such as silver and tortoise. Each pair also includes a backside anti-reflective coating and UV400 protection, keeping vision clear while cutting glare from behind.

Available now in six styles, priced from $97 to $135, the range turns a seasonal eyewear update into a more adaptable purchase. Photochromic lenses and mood-matched tint choices give the line a practical edge for anyone moving between bright streets and dimmer evening settings.
