Frequently Asked Questions

 
What are Transitions® lenses?

Transitions® lenses are the #1 eyecare professional-recommended photochromic lenses worldwide. Transitions® lenses are equipped with patented, photochromic dyes that enable the lenses to rapidly darken, when they are exposed to ultraviolet light. The greater the intensity of UV rays, the darker the lenses become. When UV light is no longer present (indoors or at night) the lenses fade back to their original state.

Are Transitions® lenses as clear as an ordinary clear lens indoors?

Yes, Transitions® Signature® GEN 8™ lenses are completely clear indoors

How do Transitions® lenses differ from prescription sunglasses?

Sunglasses have a set tint - no matter what situation you’re in they’re always the same shade. Unlike sunglasses, Transitions® lenses start as clear lenses and then automatically darken accordingly to the level of UV light present. They continuously and smoothly adapt their level of tint so that you see well in all light conditions.

Do Transitions® lenses work in all frames?

Yes, Transitions® lenses work in most frames.
