Transitions® Glasses

They’re photochromic lenses that automatically adjust their tint in response to light, darkening outdoors and returning to clear indoors.

They use light-sensitive molecules that react to UV exposure. The brighter the light, the darker the tint — and they fade back to clear when you go inside.

Yes. They’re ideal for daily use, especially if you move frequently between indoor and outdoor environments.

Absolutely. All Transitions® lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, even when the lenses appear clear.

Yes. You can order them with single-vision, progressive, or bifocal prescriptions through Vision Direct.

They start to darken within seconds of UV exposure and fade back to clear within a couple of minutes indoors.

They darken slightly, but not as much as in direct sunlight. For driving, consider Transitions® XTRActive lenses, which are designed for stronger light filtering in the car.

Yes. Transitions® lenses come in several tint options, including grey, brown, and graphite green, so you can pick what suits your look and light sensitivity.

No. Polarised lenses cut reflected glare, while Transitions® lenses adjust tint based on light exposure. You can, however, get photochromic lenses with polarisation built in.

Yes. Many versions now include blue-light protection to reduce digital eye strain indoors.

Clean them gently with a microfibre cloth and lens-safe spray. Avoid extreme heat and alcohol-based cleaners to preserve the light-reactive coating.
