Lenses Transitions

What is a Transition lens?

Transition Lenses, also known as Photochromic Lenses, are optical lenses that protect you from ultraviolet radiation by darkening when exposed to light of a sufficiently high frequency. The lenses return to being clear in the absence of activating light. Polycarbonate or another plastic material could be used to make photochromic lenses.

In response to UV light, photochromic lenses typically darken significantly in less than a minute and then gradually get a little darker over the course of fifteen minutes. Without UV light, the lenses start to clear, becoming noticeably lighter after two minutes, mostly clear after five minutes, and fully clear after about fifteen minutes.

Is it worth getting transition lenses?

Absolutely. Both money and convenience are saved. With new technological advancements, this lens will last longer, change colours more quickly, become clearer indoors, and become darker outdoors. It's important to have a simple way to protect your eyes from UV light since cataracts are the main type of blindness caused by UV light. Get two pairs of glasses instead: one to keep in your car and one to wear indoors if you drive frequently or have a long commute to work.

However, there are some valid worries about transition lenses. One of them is that some individuals dislike how slowly the colour of the transition lenses changes. People do not like having to wear sunglasses inside. Though the few minutes it used to take to change colours has now been significantly reduced to a few seconds thanks to recent advancements in transition technology.

How long do transition lenses last?

Transition lenses are incredibly helpful, but do they have a shelf life? Transition lenses are very common and useful for people who need sunglasses for indoor clarity and sun protection. When a Transition user experiences a problem with their lenses no longer getting dark enough, it begs the question, do Transition lenses wear out? Although they do degrade after years of use, transition lenses typically last the lifetime of a pair of glasses. So, does the negative outweigh the positive? We're here to assist you in learning. The following are a few disadvantages of photochromic lenses:

  • Ineffective in cars
  • Differences in brands
  • Affected by cold weather
