Everything to Know About Transitions Lenses^®

Do you experience vision problems when you move between indoor and outdoor environments? Transitions lenses can help you see in different types of lighting without the need for multiple pairs of glasses. Below, we’ll cover what Transitions are, their pros and cons, as well as the different options that are available so you can decide if they are the right choice for your eyes.

Benefits of Transitions Lenses

There are many benefits to having Transitions lenses as your everyday pair of glasses.

Protection from UV Rays

Transitions lenses block 100% of UV rays, helping prevent eye conditions like cataracts, macular degeneration, and corneal sunburn. When paired with other eye protection, they can significantly preserve your vision, especially as you age.

Improved Visibility and Reduced Eyestrain

Transitions lenses block significant light, reducing glare from the sun, improving visibility, and easing eye strain—especially while driving or being active.

Protection from Blue-Violet Light

Transitions lenses block harmful blue-violet light (380 nm to 460 nm) from digital screens and sunlight, reducing eye strain, fatigue, sleep disruption, and the risk of macular degeneration.

The Convenience of Only Needing One Pair of Glasses

Before photochromic lenses, people needed two pairs of prescription glasses—one for indoors and one for outdoors. Transitions lenses eliminate this need with a single pair that adapts for both environments.

The Ability to Match Your Personal Style

Transitions lenses come in a wide range of lens colors and can be fitted into an even wider range of frames. This allows wearers to choose a pair of glasses that closely matches their personal style.
