Why choose transitions lenses?

I’m sure you all have heard of transitions technology. And I am sure most of you think of it as an optical extra, which stereo typically is purchased by your grandparents? But this is no longer the case. It’s time for a new generation of transition lens wearers!

For you reading this, who have no idea what I am talking about, transitions are a lens treatment that allows the lenses to automatically adapt to the light conditions around us. These lenses are clear inside and become tinted when you go outside. In simple words, they have the power to turn into sunglasses! Transition lenses have become a lot easier to add to frames as frame styles have become a lot larger which makes it easier on the eye, leaving you at peace knowing that it’s not obvious that your frame is an optical frame.

Here are 3 reasons to choose transition lenses at your next visit!

1. They always protect your eyes
Exposing oneself to the sun without wearing sunglasses can have serious consequences for eye health. UV rays increase the risk of certain eye diseases such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Transitions lenses always help protect your eyes from the sun. While you are outside, they provide you with a protection against 100% of the UV rays emitted by the sun.

2. They prevent you from having to carry two pairs of glasses with you
Frames with Transitions lenses serve as both clear and tinted glasses. Those who chose Transitions say that they appreciate the fact that they do not have to change their glasses when they move from the outside to the inside. Transitions lenses allow you to keep the same glasses all day, regardless of the light conditions in which you are. It's very handy if you go outside several times in the same day! However, note that you may need to wear sunglasses in your car. The tint of Transitions lenses is activated by the sun's rays. Your lenses will not become completely dark behind the windshield because it already blocks some of the UV rays.

3. They allow you to customize the colour of your lenses
Transitions lenses are available in a variety of shades. The brown enhances the contrasts and is clearer on cloudy days. Grey is recommended for people with sensitive eyes. It is the hue that becomes the darkest of those offered. In contrast, green is the lightest lens colour. It will suit you if you tend to find glasses sunglasses too dark, or if you spend a lot of time in the forest or in other places that aren’t very sunny.
