1. The Sunglasses used in the 1988 cult classic film 'They Live' to see through overt messages in advertising and such, and to see which people are actually people and which people are actually aliens.
2. To wear one's Hoffman Lenses is to view the world through the lenses of psychedelic drugs such as LSD (Albert Hofmann being the scientist who discovered LSD.)

Something that looks like glasses lenses that you give to somebody who broke their glasses but is blindly searching for their lenses.
Guy 1: *FALLS ON THE FLOOR* "Dude, my glasses just broke, where are my lenses?"
Guy 2: *Picks up some snow* "Here you go, I found your lenses"
Guy 1: "Thanks man!"
Guy 2: "Just kidding, those are Byoungchul Lenses."
Guy 1: "Screw you."

An unfortunate development in the world of eye correction, transition lenses are intended as an amazing hybrid between sunglasses and the regular prescription kind. In reality, however, they are a gross bastardization of all things acceptable in the world of mainstream eyecare.
Alas, transitions never quite make it to either side of the glasses-sunglasses fence. Instead, they stay perpetually in an awkward shade of dark purple, keeping the wearer "in the dark" in more ways than one. In other words, when you look like a freakazoid insect, it tends to make the whole social skills thing a little harder.
It is generally accepted that the transition lense-wearing population is self-selecting. In other words, only those who like or don't mind looking like skeletor will choose to purchase the atrocities. However, it is believed by some that the lenses are in fact recommended TO weird people specifically by optometrists, perhaps as a public service to help others easily identify the undesirables.
If you or someone you know wears transition lenses regularly, it is advised that you quit immediately. Former wearers show higher success rates in life than current wearers, though it is best to have never worn transition lenses.

That guy wearing transition lenses is too busy being excited about never having to change his pairs to realize that he will never get laid.
