Transitions® lenses are also known as photochromic lenses. These lenses change color depending on the ambient lighting. In other words, when transitions® lenses are exposed to direct UV light, they automatically darken, whereas they lighten when in darker indoor spaces. Transition eyeglasses are essentially sunglasses and eyeglasses in one product. It’s the best option for strong prescription eyeglass wearers who don’t want to carry an extra pair of prescription sunglasses along with them.
How Transitions® Lenses Work
Transitions® adaptive lenses contain special molecules that change shape and absorb light when exposed to UV rays. This reaction is what makes transitions® lenses darken in sunlight. This process reverses in the absence of sunlight, causing lenses to turn lighter in darker environments.
Transitions® eyeglasses can be used by people with a whole range of vision issues. Available in a variety of designs and materials, you can select the standard to even high-index versions for increased comfort and convenience. This coating can also be used for single-vision as well as progressive lenses. Transitions® photochromic lenses especially come highly recommended by optical experts for individuals whose vision is at risk when exposed to light and UV rays- including people who have specific conditions such as cataracts and diabetes who may be affected by night vision and sensitivity to contrast. There are some medications that are also known to cause increased sensitivity to bright light and sunlight. Transition eyeglasses are great recommendations for children as they spend a lot of time outdoors and are exposed to UV rays more frequently. This added protection helps the eyes’ delicate crystalline lenses develop well. At SmartBuyGlasses CA, you will find transitions® photochromic lenses.
