"The next thing I’m going to talk about, the next option I’m going to talk about is going to be photochromic lenses. Photochromic lenses is often symnomous with the brand of Transitions, but just so you can be informed ladies, photochromic is the actual design of the lenses and Transitions is the company who makes the photochromic lenses. This option is not for everybody; Transition lenses are the lenses that change when in the presence of UV light. If you’re indoors in the fluorescent lighting in your home, your glasses are not going to transition. However when you’re outside, basically in any conditions then the lenses are going to change color and right now they change into gray or brown lenses, it takes roughly about thirty seconds for them to transition when they’re, when you are outside in the presence of UV light. It takes probably upwards of three to five minutes for them to transition when you are indoors from coming from the outdoors. So if you have to rush to a business meeting ladies, or you have someplace you want to go make sure that this is the option for you, because when you go inside someplace, your lenses are going to be dark for a little while and is that something that you really want? However, if you spend a lot of time outside, at the pool, at the park, any type of outdoor activity, this is a really convenient option for you to have okay. It’s not going to replace your darkest sunglass, they don’t transition all the way when they, when you’re behind your windshield of your car. Your windshield is already UV treated, it's not going to transition the lenses, maybe to about thirty percent but that’s it. So it’s a valuable option to somebody who can see a use for it and not be an inconvenience or a nuisance, if you have to be, go indoors to outdoors constantly. So ask your optical associate, your optician about this option. "
