The science behind Transitions Lenses

Transitions Lenses are specially designed to darken in the presence of ultraviolet (UV) sunlight, similar to sunglasses.


When exposed to UV rays, the lenses undergo a chemical reaction that triggers a darkening effect. This darkening process allows your eyes to relax and prevents the blinding glare caused by intense sunlight.


Once you step indoors or the sunlight diminishes, the lenses gradually revert to their clear state, providing you with optimal vision once again.


Protecting your eyes from harmful light

Beyond their transformative properties, Transitions Lenses offer invaluable protection against the harmful effects of UV and blue light.


Prolonged exposure to these types of light can lead to various eye conditions, including cataracts and macular degeneration. By wearing Transitions Lenses, you can shield your eyes from these potential dangers, ensuring your long-term eye health.
