Transitions® Lenses
The all-in-one solution for both indoor & outdoor
Transitions Light Intelligent Lenses seamlessly adapt to changing light situations, changing from clear to dark when outdoors, and back to clear when you’re inside.
How do Photochromic Lenses Work?
When photochromic lenses are exposed to UV light, trillions of photochromic molecules in the lens begin to change structure. This reaction is what causes the lenses to darken.
All lenses that adapt to light use photochromic molecules; the superiority of Transitions® technology lies in exclusive, patented formulas. Each formula is integrated into the surface of the lens.
These molecules constantly and smoothly recalibrate so the optimal amount of light reaches your eyes whether you’re in bright sunlight, under cloud cover or indoors.
An Extraordinary Technology
The Transitions® photochromic technology becomes an integral part of the lens through one of two specialized processes.
- Absorption: This method uses heat to penetrate the photochromic tint beneath the lens surface, followed by the application of a scratch-resistant coating.
- Trans-Bonding™: For materials that take longer to absorb, patented Trans-Bonding™ technology applies the photochromic tint to the lens surface.
Both methods provide the same uniform tint color, regardless of lens thickness differences caused by lens prescriptions.
