New Generation Transition Lenses

Transitions 2014

Tuesday night we left the office a little early to attend a seminar on the newest Transition Lenses. Most people are familiar with spectacle lenses that get dark when you go outdoors, and lighten again when inside.
This newest generation Transition Signature VII lens with Chromea7 technology was created with the user in mind. The Chromea 7 molecule is more reactive to ultraviolet in more situations. It gets darker on hot days, under a tree and facing away from the sun. The new Transition 7 also fades back to clear 20% faster.

Like all products in the Transition Adaptive lens family (XTRActive and Vantage) the Transition VII blocks 100% UVa and UVb. All the adaptive lenses help eyes adjust to changing light levels, providing more comfortable vision.

If it has been years since you’ve tried the transition lenses, it may be time to try them again. This isn’t the same lens your grandfather wore.

Eyeglass lenses that darken and lighten depending on the light level are called photochromic. Transition is the trade name for photochromic lenses.  Transition lenses offer more than clear corrected vision. Like our eyes which are constantly adapting to changes in light levels, Transition lenses have trillions of molecules that respond to changing light conditions. Our pupils dilate and constrict all day long. It doesn’t seem like much but over the course of a day it can all add up to eyestrain and fatigue. Transition lenses filter the light for you so your eyes don’t have to work as hard, allowing your eyes to stay relaxed and comfortable all day long.

Transition Vantage is a technological breakthrough where lenses are virtually clear indoors and darken and polarize outdoors. They filter even more harsh glare caused by light bouncing off everyday objects such as cars, water and the street. The polarization level adjusts to match the level of outdoor glare.

Most prescriptions can be made in Transition lenses. Ask us, next time you visit the office.
