Advantages of Wearing Transitions® Lenses


It is easy to overlook your eyes. Wearing Transitions® Lenses, color changing lenses which adapt to changing light, will help you to protect your eyes. Most people agree that sight is the sense they rely on the most. Seeing 20/20 is great, but healthy eyes are even more important since that will keep your vision sharp and clear.  With ordinary clear lenses your eyes have to constantly adjust to changing light. Your pupils dilate and your eyes squint. It does not seem like much, but over the course of the day it can all add up to cause eyestrain and fatigue. Transition lenses filter the light for you so your eyes do not have to work as hard, allowing your eyes to stay relaxed and comfortable all day long. You cannot see or feel UV rays, but they are present all year long. And just like your skin, your eyes need protection. Damage from UV exposure is cumulative, building every time your eyes are exposed to the sun. Research shows that UVA and UVB rays may contribute to short-term vision impairment as well as to potentially serious age-related eye problems, like cataracts and macular degeneration. The good news is that wearing transition lenses will help protect your eyes by blocking 100% of invisible UVA and UVB rays.

 Everybody can agree that glare is distracting and annoying in some situations. The cause of glare is simple-too much light. Transition lenses are the perfect antiglare solution because they rapidly adjust to changing light. They block glare outdoors by providing your eyes with exactly the amount of shade they need for any situation.
