#reasoning: polarization to counteract glare and lessen halation (only applies when lenses are dark)

decided AU!Peter gets glasses again in his early 20s after years of powering through vision problems brought on by increased light sensitivity + retaining some mild myopia post-spiderbite.
early on is simple. he thrifts some vintage frames and gets photochromic lenses (aka generic Transitions) put in. specifically the darker ones, so his lenses are always a little gray even inside.
(and now i need to edit some fics again) (lol)
the real question I'm asking myself now is what color lenses he has later, when he gets FF coverage in 2015; considering a lightly tinted minty blue-green in low light which turns a deep grayish green-black in bright sunlight (essentially green-gray transitions on top of a blue base) (also polarized) —
on the one hand, just get polarized sunglasses or clip-ons separately from a pair of regular non-tinted glasses, but on the other hand, as the saying goes: he'd lose his head if it wasn't attached to his neck.
but idk if he'd be willing to wear lovely jade-lensed glasses everywhere lmao — he's not kaine, after all!
#reasoning: polarization to counteract glare and lessen halation (only applies when lenses are dark)#blue-green to help balance contrast and color clarity and lighten shadows slightly when polarized + filter out some reds#tint in general to reduce the amount of light entering his eyes (though that also mostly only applies when lenses are dark tbh... hm)#came in through the window last night#assume that in this universe someone has essentially invented transitions xtractive polarized lenses 5 years earlier than irl#(xtractive is a dumb name btw. you're telling me it's pronounced “extra active” but all i see is “extractive”)#ben also has these problems but i've decided he just wears regular crappy $15 sunglasses inside#kaine also wears sunglasses inside but kaine wears $400 sunglasses and is also partially blind lol#plus for a while there he is basically living in his pink tarantula mask which probably helps block some light out#anyway contacts seems less than ideal because of the fact that his night vision is significantly clearer than his daylight vision#and having to keep track of something that small which he also has to keep clean is like............ idk about that....
