Transition Lenses  

Tired of fumbling between regular eyeglasses and prescription sunglasses? If you want to quit the glasses juggling act, consider moving up to transition lenses. These special light-adaptive lenses are clear in an indoor environment, but they darken when they're exposed to sunlight. At New Vision Optical Boutique, our patients are finding that transition lenses are a great replacement for both traditional glasses and prescription sunglasses.

Variations on Photochromic Lenses

Transitions lenses are a variety of photochromic lenses, lenses that darken when exposed to sunlight. These light-adaptive lenses have been around for decades, but today's technology has made them much better than your father's aviator sunglasses.

Glare has always been a problem with both eyeglasses and sunglasses. That is, until the technique of polarizing cut the glare off of lenses, allowing patients to see with better clarity. Now, for the first time, Transitions has combined the two technologies to create Transitions Vantage eyeglasses. They darken to protect your eyes from UV damage while cutting the glare to give you clearer, crisper eyesight. These lenses are available in prescription lenses as well as a clear fashion version.

Benefits of Transition Lenses

Besides the obvious benefit of having to deal with only one pair of glasses on a daily basis instead of two, there are multiple other reasons why these glasses could be the right choice for you. For instance:

• Transition lenses adjust to all light conditions, which reduces eye strain indoors and squinting outside.
• Always having UV protection outdoors reduces your danger of cataracts and other UV-related eye conditions
• Having one pair of glasses instead of two can save you money
• Your outdoor vision will be clearer and crisper than with traditional prescription sunglasses
• It's easier to protect your children's eyes if they only have to deal with one pair of eyeglasses
