What are Transitions® lenses?

Transitions® are perfect everyday lenses. They are ultra-responsive to light, darkening outdoors when exposed to sunlight and returning to clear when indoors. Transitions lenses protect your eyes from blue-violet light and block UV rays, available in vibrant colors.

Do Transitions® lenses filter blue-violet light?

Yes absolutely, Transitions® lenses filter blue-violet both from the sun outdoors and from digital devices indoors.

Are my eyes protected against UV rays when wearing Transitions® lenses?

Transitions® lenses stop 100% of both UVA & UVB rays from reaching your eyes.

Are Transitions® lenses clear indoors?

Transitions® lenses are made to adjust with your surroundings, giving you convenient vision protection throughout the day. Transitions® Gen S™, XTRActive®, and XTRActive® Polarized lenses appear clear indoors and automatically darken when exposed to outdoor light. Drivewear® lenses work differently—they maintain a tinted appearance in both indoor and outdoor environments, with built-in polarization to help reduce glare while driving and outdoors.

How dark are Transitions® lenses outdoors?

Transitions® lenses automatically darken based on the level of sunlight, reaching an optimal tint for your light conditions. Transitions® Gen S™ can reach up to Category 3 darkness outdoors, while Transitions® XTRActive® can reach up to Category 3+ darkness for a deeper tint, including behind the windshield. Transitions® XTRActive® Polarized can also reach Category 3+ darkness and adds polarization for enhanced glare reduction. Drivewear® lenses reach Category 3 darkness and are polarized for enhanced glare reduction while driving and outdoors.

Performance may vary depending on lens color, material, temperature, and light conditions.

Are Transitions® lenses polarized?

Not all Transitions® lenses are polarized. Transitions® Gen S™ and Transitions® XTRActive® are not polarized, while Transitions® XTRActive® Polarized and Drivewear® lenses are polarized.

Transitions lenses are a great option for all-day wear, adapting to changing light conditions by darkening outdoors and returning to clear or nearly clear indoors. For customers looking for the added benefit of polarization, XTRActive Polarized and Drivewear lenses provide enhanced glare reduction outdoors.

Are Transitions® lenses suitable for driving?

Yes, Transitions® lenses can be worn while driving, but performance varies by lens type. Transitions® Gen S™ and Transitions® XTRActive® lenses can activate behind the windshield, with XTRActive providing a deeper tint. Transitions® XTRActive® Polarized lenses also activate behind the windshield and provide polarization for glare reduction. Drivewear® lenses are specifically designed for driving and remain tinted behind the windshield while providing polarized glare reduction.

At nighttime, Gen S, XTRActive, and XTRActive Polarized lenses return to clear. Drivewear lenses remain tinted and are not intended for nighttime driving.

How quickly do Transitions® lenses change?

Transitions lenses darken within seconds when exposed to sunlight and quickly return to clear indoors over a few minutes, depending on the environment.

Are Transitions® lenses the same as sunglasses?

No, Transitions® lenses are not sunglasses. Transitions are a dynamic lenses, also known as photochromic, that respond instantly to a given light condition. These lenses go from clear to dark and dark to clear, depending on the exposure to light rays. As such, Transitions are not sun lenses, nor a clear lenses only: Transitions is both, adapting to the flow of your life, would it be outside or inside, bright sun or cloudy sky, day and night.
