How Do Transitions Lenses work ?

  • Due to the specific composition of the lenses they absorb more light when exposed to UV rays - making the lenses darker
  • The higher the intensity of UV rays and brightness the darker the lenses become
  • As soon as you come inside the lenses will start getting clearer - Transitions are know for their rapid fade-back speed from dark to clear indoors.

Questions On Your Mind ?
Glasses with Transitions lenses can act as sunglasses outdoors while providing the additional protection against the UV rays indoors & outdoors - Whether you have prescription or not. They’re cool as well!
Yes, all Transitions lenses have a UV protection coating that blocks 100% UVA and UVB light.
You can add Transitions lenses to any of your favourite frames for an additional £100 £55.
Yes, All the frames can be customised with Transitions lenses. They’re suitable for all vision types - Single Vision, Varifocals and Non-Prescriptive.
Transitions sunglasses and glasses are the same thing. It’s the Transitions lenses that change a frame from clear glasses into sunglasses after reacting to UV light. People use these two terms to refer to glasses with Transitions lenses.
There are 2 different kinds of Transitions - we use Transitions Signature Lenses which are the most renowned lenses in the UK. Transitions Signature Lenses react to UV light and turn dark to become sunglasses. However, this does not happen while driving as your car’s windshield blocks most of the 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 rays.
Photochromic/Reactions are the type of lenses that change colour from dark to light and vice-versa. Transitions® is a branded patented product of these photochromic lenses. Transitions Opticals was the first company to manufacture photochromic lenses and obtain patents for their fastest formula.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
