Many people enjoy Transitions® lenses because they give the ability to have prescription glasses and sunglasses in one. The new technology used in photochromic lenses changes color to adapt to differing light levels. The lenses will appear to be either light or clear when you are inside and become dark when you go outside into the sunlight. With the added benefits of providing comfortable vision all day long, as well as blocking 100% of UVA and UVB rays while reducing blue-violet light, Transitions® lenses are a great choice for active lives and daily eye protection.

FAQ
Many individuals who wear glasses love the fact that Transitions lenses allow them to have both regular eyeglasses and sunglasses in one. Plus, they automatically change from getting maximum blackness from sun to clear indoors. They're also good at protecting you from harmful UV rays and reducing brightness when you're outside.
Transitions lenses change very rapidly to the light they're being exposed to. Most lenses will darken in <10 seconds when exposed to sunshine and will gradually go back to clear when they are indoors. Exact times will vary based on the type of lens, temperature, and light.
Regular Transitions lenses generally will not go dark enough behind a car window because the majority of windscreens block the UV-A and UV-B rays. However, Transitions® XTRActive® lenses will activate when the driver is behind the wheel allowing additional comfort.
Absolutely. Transitions® provides complete blocking of both UVA & UVB rays. They also help shield against harm from other types of UV light (like reflections off water). Some of these lenses will filter out the blue-violet light spectrum for both outdoors and indoors.
Each lens type has its unique features for today's active lives, with Gen S focusing on quick to adapt to lighting changes as well as provide bright, vibrant colors.
