The Superpower of Transitions® Glasses
Transitions® glasses come with advanced photochromic lenses that give you the freedom to carry a single pair of glasses for all your needs.
How do Transitions® Light-adaptive Lenses Work?
Transitions lenses come with a special chemical coating that gives them the capability to change the tint of the lens depending on the lighting conditions. In real life, your lenses remain clear when you’re indoors, but they darken when you step outside, reacting to the light around you. It makes them a perfect option for someone who wants a single pair of glasses that they carry throughout their day.

FAQs
What are photochromic lenses?
Photo means light, and chrome means colour. Photochromic lenses change tint depending on the surrounding light. They turn dark like sunglasses when exposed to sunlight and fade back to clear when indoors.
My eyesight is fine, do I still need Transitions® glasses?
Even if you have perfect vision, Transitions® lenses offer valuable protection. They help filter harmful blue-violet light indoors and protect your eyes from UVA/UVB rays outdoors. Plus, they enhance your style, seamlessly adapting to different lighting conditions for both function and fashion.
Do Transitions® have UV protection coating?
Yes, all Transitions® lenses have a UV protection coating that blocks 100% UVA and UVB rays.
How much do Transitions® lenses cost?
It depends on which Transitions® lenses you choose. However, Specscart offers the best prices on Transitions® lenses, and you can add Transitions® GEN S lenses to your glasses for £100 £75.
Can I choose Transitions® lenses with all Specscart glasses?
Yes, all the frames can be customised with Transitions® lenses at Specscart. They're suitable for all vision types - non-prescriptive, single-vision, and varifocals.
What is the difference between Transitions® sunglasses and Transitions® glasses?
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 light. People use these two terms to refer to glasses with Transitions® lenses.
Do Transitions® lenses turn dark while driving?
Transitions® GEN S and other photochromic lenses need UV light to react, and car windshields are capable of blocking UV light. As a result, they don't react inside cars. However, Transitions® XTRActive New Generation lenses can react inside cars as well and they turn dark while driving in the sunlight.
What is the difference between reaction and Transitions® lenses?
Photochromic/reaction lenses 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 its fastest light-adaptive formula.
How do I care for these lenses?
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.
Are Transitions® lenses worth it?
Transitions® lenses are completely worth it for most people, as they offer you the freedom to carry a single pair of glasses for different lighting conditions. They seamlessly adapt to changing light conditions. Additionally, you get protection against blue-violet light indoors and harmful UVA/UVB rays outdoors.
