You’ve likely seen ads for Transitions® Lenses while at the eye doctor, but do you know what they are and how they can help you in daily life? Transitions® Lenses use photochromatic technology to transition from light to dark depending on their exposure to UV rays. When a person is exposed to UV rays emitted from the sun, the UV will be absorbed by the lenses to turn them darker, often either grey or brown. These lenses are highly beneficial for many people as they create an easy and hands-free pair of sunglasses that are always with them. Here are some signs that Transitions® Lenses might be right for you.
Transitions® Lenses May Be Right For You If:
You Go Outside
Whether you are constantly in and out or you spend most of your day outside, Transitions® Lenses are incredibly beneficial for anyone exposed to sunlight. Because Transitions® Lenses quickly change from tinted to clear, you can keep your eyes comfortable both inside and outside without the need to constantly switch between glasses and sunglasses.
It’s Not Always Hot Where You Live
It’s easy to remember to take your sunglasses with you when it’s hot outside, but many people forget to do this in the dead of winter. When you live in a climate like Calgary, it is still very sunny even when the temperature drops and you will want to have your sunglasses with you. Transitions® Lenses ensure that you don’t forget your sunglasses by keeping them with you at all times.
You Use Screens
Whether for work or for pleasure, screens have become a part of many people’s lives. Although smart devices bring us great convenience, more and more people are suffering from digital eye strain. Frequent exposure to the blue light emitted from screens leads to eye fatigue, headaches, blurred vision, and more. Using blue light blocking glasses can help reduce this eye strain. Transitions® Lenses come with blue-light blocking built right into them, with no need to ask for this as an extra feature.
You Want To Keep Your Eyes Comfortable Without Buying Two Pairs Of Glasses
If you want to protect your eyes from the sun, prescription and non-prescription UV blocking sunglasses are also available. And if you want to keep your eyes protected against blue light, both prescription and non-prescription glasses can be made with blue light blocking coating. While both of these are perfectly good options, Transitions® Lenses give you the benefits of both in a single pair of glasses without the need to switch back and forth. This can make Transitions® Lenses more affordable, as you only have to pay for one set of glasses and you are less likely to lose them, as they remain on your face the majority of the time.
