Transitions Lenses Information
Transitions lenses are a technological advancement in the industry of optometry. Having Transitions lenses is like having a pair of eyeglasses and a pair of sunglasses all in one pair with one set of lenses. Transitions lenses gradually tint depending on the intensity of brightness outside. When intensity decreases or when you are indoors, the Transitions lenses automatically lighten to their clear state.

History
-
Transitions Optical, Inc. was launched in 1990. The following year, production began on the first generation of Transitions lenses. Three additional generations of Transitions lenses have been introduced, each offering more advanced technologies to protect the eyes of those who wear these special lenses.
Preserving Eyesight
-
If you already wear prescription eyeglasses, investing in a pair with Transitions lenses is not only practical and convenient; it also helps you maintain the health and longevity of your eyes. When they darken, Transitions lenses shield your eyes from the harmful ultraviolet rays emitted by intense sunlight.

Convenience
-
With Transitions lenses, you have the convenience of moving between indoors and outdoors quickly with no hassle. It will eliminate the need to switch from your prescription glasses to sunglasses every time you step outside and back again once you step indoors for the sole purpose of protecting your eyes. Also, while you are outdoors, Transitions lenses are designed with anti-glare technology, so you can see clearly at all times without difficulty.
Retailers
-
Retailers including PearleVision, Walmart, Target and Costco all offer the option to order Transitions lenses. If you wish to purchase glasses with Transitions lenses but are not sure whether your local vision office or retailer offers this option, ask the receptionist prior to confirming your appointment.
Special Request
-
Though it is becoming more and more popular among consumers, the option for Transitions lenses is not automatically added to orders for prescription glasses. You must mention that you wish to purchase Transitions lenses with your new pair of glasses after you've chosen the frame you want so the option will be listed on the order form for your new glasses.
