Photochromic Lenses: Ready for Transitions Lenses?

The spring season brings warmer weather and sunshine, reminding those of us with prescription eyeglasses to be sure we don't forget our prescription sunglasses before we walk out of the door. If you are like most people, you've realized that having one pair of glasses for both indoor and outdoor visibility could be the next best thing to sliced bread!

Bayside Vision Center offers several types of photochromic lenses for you to choose from, one of the most popular brand in the United States being Transition or Transitions Lenses. 

Photochromic lenses are optical lenses that are clear (or nearly clear) indoors and darken automatically when exposed to specific types of light of sufficient intensity. These lenses respond not to sunlight but specific to the sun's ultraviolet radiation, allowing the lenses to darken on sunny days as well as  when the day is overcast, protecting your eyes from the dangers of the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Photochromic lenses can be made of glass, polycarbonate, or another plastic. Discover which Transition Lenses work best for your lifestyle!

• Transitions Signature offer fully clear lenses indoors and just the right amount of tint outdoors.

• Transitions XTRActive allows extra protection from light indoors, outdoors, and even in the car.

• Transitions Vantage provides crisper sharper vision outdoors, the only lens with variable polarization.
