Transitions

Transitions lenses help optimize your sight in every light as they quickly lighten or darken depending on the amount of UV rays present.
Transitions lenses contain patented photochromic dyes which cause the lens to activate - or darken - when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight. When the UV light diminishes, the lenses fade back to clear. As outdoor light conditions change, the level of darkness adjusts, creating just the right level of tint and allowing just the right amount of light to enter the eyes at any given time. This action allows Transitions lenses to help protect your eyes from the light you can see - reducing glare, diminishing eye strain and fatigue and enabling you to distinguish contrast more easily.

Next Generation Transitions are the clearest, darkest, fastest VTO (photochromic) lenses ever developed. The technology they use is the most advanced lens technology available, a combination of newly developed dyes and advanced plastic materials. Next Generation Transitions give kids versatility and increased vision comfort, and since they offer 100% UV protection, parents can feel good about their kids wearing them.

A new category of lenses, DriveWear®, Activated by Transitions®, has stepped in with a unique, high tech solution for driving. DriveWear® lenses combine the glare protection of photochromics which respond to both visible and UV light . The result is a lens that can sense the light coming in from outside of the car and transition to dark accordingly. Drivewear® lenses are capable of sensing and reacting to varying light conditions both outside and behind the windshield of the car. From bright sunlight accompanied by intense, blinding glare, to overcast inclement conditions, Drivewear® lenses provide the ideal visual solution.

About Glare
Glare, or extreme brightness, can be distracting and even dangerous. It can be present day or night in a number of ways, such as when moving from shade into bright sunlight or when light reflects from shiny surfaces. Glare can cause are squinting, eye strain, eye fatigue and, in extreme cases, temporary blindness. Glare can impair visual comfort and visual quality, which can diminish healthy sight.

Transitions lenses with an anti-reflective (AR) coating are the optimal everyday choice for reducing distracting, discomforting and disabling glare.*

Transitions lenses reduce glare and provide these important benefits:

  • Improve visual quality and visual comfort
  • Provide a comfortable level of light
  • Reduce squinting and eye fatigue
  • Improve contrast

*In some conditions, polarized sunglasses that also block 100% UV radiation and help reduce blinding glare are recommended.

Patients with Special Needs
Patients with special needs are excellent candidates for Transitions lenses as well. Among these are:

  • The elderly
  • Children
  • Individuals with active lifestyles
  • Individuals with sensitive eyes
  • Individuals with certain medical conditions
  • Individuals who have developed cataracts or who have undergone recent surgery
  • Individuals taking certain medications that have ocular side effects
