โAnyone who studies Halachot every day is guaranteed that he is destined for the world-to-comeโ (Megilla 28b, Niddah 73a)
Question:
May one dye something temporarily on Shabbat?
Answer:
The biblical prohibition of Tzoveโah applies to something that is permanently dyed. If something is only dyed temporarily, then it is only rabbinically prohibited.[1]
Therefore, It is permitted to wear lenses that darken in the sunlight and become clear when returning indoors, even though the coloring effect is a significant benefit, and this is the purpose of the lenses. [2]

Some reasons given as to why this is permitted include: 1) This is not an issue of Makeh BePatish since the coloring that occurs is part of its regular designed function. (See Igrot Moshe, O.C. 3:45 and Tzitz Eliezer, ibid.) 2) Regarding Tzoveโah, the coloring effect is only temporary and is continuously dependant on its exposure to the sun. (Tzitz Eliezer 20:14) 3) The coloring effect is an indirect occurrence, which is not the normal way of dyeing something.
(See Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchatah 18:18) 4) The purpose of the color change is merely to darken the lens, as a protection from the sun, but not to create any coloring effect. (See Igrot Moshe, ibid.; BaTzel HaChochmah 4:4; Az Nidberu 2:30; Mishneh Halachot 8:44 and 11:307)
