Thermally influenced changeable tint device

An eyewear, comprising:

• a base ophthalmic lens;
• a photochromic changeable tint element disposed over or within the base ophthalmic lens;
• and
• a heat management system, the heat management system comprising:
• a transparent heating element adapted to heat the photochromic changeable tint element;
• a photo-sensor, configured to sense a change in ambient light or to sense a level of ambient light;
• a thermo-sensor;
• an energy source electrically connected to the transparent heating element;
• and
• a controller electrically connected to the photo-sensor and thermo-sensor, wherein the controller is configured to detect input from the photo-sensor and thermo-sensor, and to control the transparent heating element based upon input from the photo-sensor and thermo-sensor, and wherein the controller is configured to turn on the transparent heating element when a decrease of ambient light is detected using the photo-sensor and to turn off the transparent heating element after the photochromic changeable tint element is heated at a predefined temperature below the photochromic changeable tint element's glass transition temperature while bleaching based upon input from the thermo-sensor.
