How Transitions Lenses Work
Transitions lenses contain special molecules embedded in the lens material that react to UV rays from sunlight. When exposed to UV light, these molecules undergo a chemical reaction that causes them to darken, protecting the eyes from bright sunlight and UV rays. As soon as the UV exposure is reduced, such as when moving indoors or into a shaded area, the molecules return to their original clear state. This transition is smooth and gradual, ensuring that wearers experience consistent vision clarity regardless of their surroundings.
One of the primary benefits of Transitions lenses is the convenience they offer. Traditional sunglasses require users to carry multiple pairs of eyewear, switching between prescription glasses for indoor use and sunglasses for outdoor activities. With Transitions lenses, there’s no need to switch glasses or worry about the inconvenience of carrying extra eyewear, as the lenses adjust automatically based on the light.
