Are Transitions Lenses for you? From sun to screen, discover the cool way to safeguard your eyes

Bright sun isn't the only thing that can impact your vision. Computer glare, screen time and lack of sleep all play their part. Luckily, there is a smart way to protect your vision, no matter the light conditions.Transitions Lenses intelligently adapt to changing light, instantly darkening in outdoor light and becoming clear again indoors. They work from screen to sun, helping to counteract eye fatigue from screen-time and blocking harmful UVA and UVB light outdoors.

Instant UV protection rain, hail or shine

We all know the dangers of being out in the sun without sunblock. The same ultraviolet rays that can burn your skin can also damage your eyes. Exposure to UVA and UVB light can lead to cataracts, macular degeneration and even photokeratitis, a sunburn of the eye. That’s why it’s important to protect your eyes outdoors with UVA and UVB-blocking lenses. Transitions Signature GEN 8 does exactly that. It comes in seven different colours that can be combined with a range of contemporary frames to suit your style. The photochromic lens performs best overall, faster and darker when it counts. Bright light hurting your eyes?

Ever walked outside on a sunny day and squinted? You’re not alone. Light sensitivity affects a whopping 90 per cent of us, or nine in ten people. It can be as minor as having to pull down the sun visor when driving into direct sunlight or dimming the brightness of your mobile screen at night. For those hardest hit, even normal lighting can cause severe discomfort and impaired vision. That’s where Transitions Xtractive New Generation Lenses can help. The photochromic lens instantly blocks out harsh indoor light and sunlight to deliver extra darkness in the car and on bright sunny days when you need it most.

Available in three signature colours and a variety of mirrored tints, expect maximum darkness in moderate temperatures and the darkest tint on hot days.

Sun glare getting in the way of your driving?

If only life mirrored the movies, we’d all be driving off into the sunset without a glare (er, care) in the world. Truth is, the intensity and brightness of the setting sun can temporarily blind us, causing us to hit the brakes or, at the very least, proceed slowly with caution. Sun glare is at its worst in rain and snow and when your windscreen is dirty or greasy. That’s why it’s important to keep your windscreen clean and the washer fluid reservoir full. It also makes sense to keep a pair of Transitions XTRACTVIE Polarised glasses in the car

Try Transitions XTRACTIVE Polarized, the world’s only dynamic polarised lens. It darkens in the car and darkens and polarises outdoors, cutting out the glare of the sun to deliver sharper vision, more vivid colours and greater visibility.

LED technology is everywhere, from our laptop screens and flat screen televisions to our tablets and mobile phones. No sooner have we turned off the computer than we’re checking our phone or watching a TV program. Our eyes are constantly exposed to blue light, short wavelengths similar to UV light that can penetrate the eye and lead to eye fatigue. If you need any proof, think of the times you’ve scrolled your phone at night and then been unable to sleep. Even small doses of blue light can leave you feeling alert and can lead to eye strain and eye fatigue. All Transitions lenses are specifically designed to filter out blue light, helping to reduce the discomfort and eye fatigue that can come with it. The upshot is clearer vision for longer, without the blurry eyes and headache that can develop from over-exposure to a bright screen.

If you thought transition lenses were old-fashioned, think again. With fast-acting lenses and stylish coloured tints you can personalise to suit your look and your lifestyle.
