Now I wonder whether wearing photochromatic lenses (transitions lenses) would have reduced the damage. I do believe they are triggered by UV.

Plain clear polycarbonate lenses would have worked. polycarbonate is opaque to uv light.

Er... might of worked. A lot of light can come in around the sides of normal glasses. so it would depend how the uv was reaching the eye.
