Accepted Answer

Transitions sunglasses and glasses are the same things. It’s the Transitions lenses that change a frame from clear glasses into sunglasses with reacting to UV light. People use these two terms to refer to glasses with Transitions lenses.

Question 6

Do Transitions lenses turn dark while driving?

Accepted Answer

There are 2 different kinds of Transitions - we use Transitions signature lenses which are the best renowned and selling lenses in the UK. Transitions Signature lenses react to UV light and turn dark with becoming sunglasses. However, this does not happen while driving as your car’s windshield blocks UV light coming from the sun. If you want your Transitions to turn dark in the car then we can use Transitions Xtra active on special requests- these lenses react to ambient lighting instead of UV lights.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

You can clean Transitions just like other lenses – with a lens spray and microfibre cloth. All Specscart frames come with a free cleaning kit which you can use to clean your lenses.

Question 9

Is Transitions photo-chromatic a coating?

Accepted Answer

No! The technology is a part of the lenses – the composition is such that they absorb more light when exposed to UV rays, making them darker.

Question 10

Do I need anti-blue light or anti-UV coatings if I have transition lenses?

Accepted Answer

Transition lenses are already loaded with blue light protection, so you don’t need to purchase any additional coating. They also block 100% of UVA and UVB rays.

Question 11

How do transition lenses or transition glasses work?

Accepted Answer

Light Adaptive lenses are made out of photochromic dyes that turn dark just when exposed to UV rays. When the light source is removed, they fade back to clear lenses.

Question 12

Are transition lenses worth it?

Accepted Answer

Transition lenses are effective against harsh sunlight, and both UVA and UVB rays. They block these rays to give you a clear and comfortable vision. Also, the lenses with dark or gradual dark look fashionable all the time. They work as both sunglasses and regular prescription glasses and hence are very cost-effective.

Question 13

What are photochromic lenses?

Accepted Answer

Transition lenses are also called photochromic lenses. Photo means light and chrome means colour. Photochromic lenses change the shade when exposed to light. They turn dark when under sunlight and fade back to clear in normal light or dim light.

Question 14

What do photochromic lenses do?

Accepted Answer

When exposed to harsh sunlight, the photochromic dyes activate and turn a darker shade covering the clear lenses completely. These dark shades block glares from the sun and the bright light. They also block UV rays effectively. Photochromic lenses also turn moderately dark when exposed to blue lights from computers and other digital devices.

Question 15

Are photochromic lenses polarised?

Accepted Answer

When photochromic lenses turn dark, they become polarised and allow only vertical light rays of low energy to enter the glasses. The direct and harsh bright light is blocked with the shades. Polarised sunglasses are designed in a way to block all direct rays and only allow vertical lights.

Question 16

Are photochromic lenses UV protected?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Photochromic lenses turn dark shade when exposed to bright sunlight. UV rays contained in the sunlight are blocked by the dark shade and cannot enter your eyes. Wearing these glasses will effectively block UV rays from entering your eyes and harming your eyesight.
