About This Video:
Have you ever tried transition lenses? Well in this video, Joseph Allen, OD, FAAO from Doctor Eye Health reviews the new transition lenses gen 8, photochromic lenses which react faster than ever before. This transition glasses review will go over how transitions lenses work and react as photochromic glasses in the presence of sunlight and turn from clear glasses lenses into sunglasses. Large optical companies such as essilor, varilux, and luxottica all invest millions of dollars into research to make photochromic sunglasses better and transition faster into sun glasses. This transitions signature gen 8 review also goes over the sunlight protection benefits of these lenses and mentions how transitions lenses can block some blue light as well. Doctor Allen also shares some cons experienced with transition lenses in this transition lenses review.

🔴Eye Health QOTD: Have you tried Transitions lenses before? What was your experience?
Been wearing Transitions lenses 15 yrs. I'm totally sold! My sunglasses are never wear I am! Plus, I don't like the higher cost for Rx sunglasses that I only use 25% of the time. Thus the need for Transitions. Can't wait to try the Gen 8!
I love my transition glasses so much that I've been wearing them for the 4 yrs. This time I decided to get prescription glasses and sunglasses. I've noticed that they are darker than transition but I still love them.
Bought pair in my twenties, wasn't impressed.
I did for a few of my pairs but recently I preferred to not have that applied because a tint remained even after I remained indoors for awhile. But I also learned that now there's a new type of transition that fades completely indoors. But I opted out anyway. I wasn't sure if I wanted the feature but I might need it sometimes.
With my first 2 pairs, one each in grade school and high school, I got tinted glasses to match the frame colour. lol
Doctor Eye Health I have a stye in my eye could you give me tips to get rid of it
I am a photographer, and I was wearing transitions and noticed I kept taking them on and off when taking photos outdoors. I just switched to prescription sunglasses and a pair of regular glasses. I loved transitions for summertime where I work with marching bands and I am going inside and outside all the time, but it just didn't cut it for my lifestyle. I love prescription sunglasses though, it helps reduce the headaches I got while driving with sunglasses that were not prescription.
Why was it that you needed to switch? You couldn't see the screen on your camera or EVF? Do they distort like polarization? Thanks.
How cool would it be if the temples were touchscreen and you were able to touch and slide to set the amount of sunglass you would need. Maybe this will be possible in the future using something like electrochromic glass techniques.
Yes...this would be the ideal solution for a lot of us. In the car, you could make them darker. Also, I'm a carpenter and I'm in and out of the building, and the transitions just don't adjust quick enough to make them practical. ie: going outside to make a cut on the saw and then reentering the building to fit the piece. This scenario is a total nightmare if wearing transition lenses. Which is why I had one pair early on in my eyewear trials and never ordered a pair after that. Even these faster lenses are not nearly fast enough.
Why make things complicated pussy? Just let it turn by itself
@@marcellemay7721 That reminds me of how pirates used to wear eye patches for entering and exiting the hull of the ship.
It currently exists brother.
@@joecach141 link please
I have them and I love them. I think this is my third set of transition lenses and they just keep getting better. I live in the tropics, so mine perhaps do not get quite as dark as those featured in the video, but they do work well and I no long wear a separate pair of sunglasses when outside in the bright light.
I’ve had transitions since they came out and I really like them a lot. I’m wearing a 5/6 year old pair and am very excited to get the new gen8 xtraactive lenses. I was very impressed with what I was told and saw. They get much darker than my current glasses and they lighten up much faster too.
Great vid! Love the opening because that’s the issue I’d have when driving with transitions; one lens dark and one regular.
😂
'Got one yesterday and I'm in love with it as much as how i love your videos. 🤓😊❤
I love transition lenses especially since I now have the extra active in brown. When coming in from outside I don't even notice the change and choose versa my eyes are so much more comfortable
My Mum has transition lenses, it was interesting to hear how they work. I have my first pairs of glasses being made now but have to wait a few weeks. I got a pair of polarised prescription sunglasses as well as a regular pair of anti reflective normal glasses. I can't wait for them to arrive now that I know what its like to see clearly!!
Just got transitions 8, they are my first transitions. We are coming into autumn (fall) here in Australia, so not that bright outside. So far enjoying them, and surprised how dark they get, and how quickly -- I run outside every time the sun breas through the clouds! I must say, even for driving, they tint just enough to take the glare off in current conditions. I still have my trusty polarised RayBans in the glove box for emergencies though ;-)
I started wearing Transitions last month and I really love it. They are pretty cool. I am a
person who loose a lot of stuff, so it’s cool to have two things in one, I used to wear glasses for close vision, and I wore sun glasses, but lost them a lot of times. Now I wear glasses for far vision and I got Transitions, and now I won’t forget my sun glasses.
I appreciate you making this video Dr. I just started working as a Para-Op. here in Amarillo, Texas and your videos have definitely expanded my knowledge on eye health and tips.
I love photochromic lenses. I have used them for many years and wouldn't be without. I love the UV block in them.
The only down side is that in mid February to mid April they turn much darker.
I have them in good wear glasses and in my safety glasses. And at my workplace (Construction outdoors) during that time of year, I find myself looking under my glasses a lot as they get so dark I can't see a pencil line on my material.
I only use my pair of transitions when hiking or doing activity outdoors and don't want to carry a second pair of sunglasses. The car scenario is a big downside for me personally.
I love it! I'm using my second pair right now after 9 years. I'm using what was told to transitions into an emerald green hue with my transparent frame. i am very sensitive to light since i was 10 years old, by having this pair I don't have to bring any shades anymore.
I like transitions because the sun sometimes feels as if it's punching my eyes (literally). I had them 7 years and it has become inconvenient to live without them BUT I think that tinted lenses have their advantages for wearing inside when you're experiencing light sensitivity during a migraine for example. I like to get at least three pairs of glasses when I get a new prescription. Clear, Tinted and Transition because you definitely can see the yellow tinge of the tint of the transitions whilst inside and it can impact artwork.
I always wear transition lenses and I like them.
I just added transitions to my new eyeglasses prescription! I’m excited since I live in Texas and it is always bright and sunny.
Oh man you're gonna love them! So convenient because you don't need to carry a separate pair of sunglasses.
How much it costed you and which brand glass u used
I’ve put off trying them for years because I worried they won’t get dark enough🤷♀️ But, in return I’m wearing old ugly eyeglasses because of the expense of 2-pairs😢 Oops lol he just reminded me,, my issue was in the vehicle.
I love this channel! Thank you for the great content.
Very informative, thanks!
...prescription sunglasses for driving and transitions for indoor/outdoor. Neat that the newer lenses get much darker and respond quicker. Good stuff.
I just bought my first transition lenses and bro, they are amazing. How did I survive without?
I still use my sunglasses while driving just because of the polarized lenses.
Marco Carpinella how much did that cost if you don’t mind me asking please
All Apparel It might be 400-700 dollars
@@fw_keimar5132 Rip off price. It depends on your prescription, but I can get them for under $200 for single vision with Crizal AR Coating.
David, I know they can be different prices depending on the situation. Mine wasnt 400-700 dollars I was saying that because some of the people in my family have had Transitional lenses and they were different prices for all of them.
Do your polarized glasses interfere with your infotainment system when your looking at it
Very informative thank you!
I have gen 7 transitions right now and I've had them since my 2 years of wearing glasses (so since I was 5). I LOVE transitions because bright lights can give me a headache. I don't take pictures very often and won't be driving for a few years so that's never been an issue. It gets hot in the summer but it doesn't seem to affect how fast my lenses change, or at least I never noticed that making a difference.
That's awesome! I think Transitions are great for just about everyone, even kids. Although children usually get glasses made of polycarbonate which transitions dont work as well with.
I love that Tom ford frame❤️
Can you do a video of the Transitions Lenses with the Flash mirror effect.
Those that dark with some tint in different colors.
Just found this video, I just got a pair of Gen8 (with anti glare) haven't tried them driving but when i got back i didn't even realize they had changed, pretty happy so far
I have had transition lenses for many, many years. They have surely improved over the generations of development. I found the lenses very useful for having a single pair of glasses when doing outdoor activities. They worked great when on long hikes (2 - 10 days), canoeing, and at the beach. As you have said, they do not work as well when driving because of the UV protection of the windows.
As a nomad who spends a lot of time driving our RV our on road trips, I think I want to get prescription sunglasses as driving glasses. Can you provide a recommendation on the type of lenses I should get for prescription sunglasses as driving glasses? I am interested in the recommendation of the color of lenses too. I do prefer progressive bifocals to best support seeing inside the vehicle while enjoying outside the vehicle.
You videos are fantastic and very helpful.
An old video but this is EXACTLY the kind of one I was looking for!
Glad to hear it!!! Any other topics I could cover to help you out?
@@DoctorEyeHealth I had an eye test recently as things have been wavy up close for the past year of me not wearing glasses since mine broke when we went into lockdown.
Found out that I have astigmatism. I've seen your video on it but I'm not quite sure how it's supposed to be "corrected". Will wearing glasses make astigmatism go away over time?
Been buying them since the first ones in 1976 I believe, they were called " photogray" or something like that but were only made in glass. Much better now.
Well photogray is still correct. Transitions is actually just a brand name for the photogray technology.
Have used transition lenses for years and love them. As always excellent video 👍🏼
Thanks Winona! 👍
Its good video and i have tried thank you its gorgeous
So I just got my very first pair of transitions today, I was interested in the blue light and of course the obviously cool "sci-fi"-ness of the automatically shading glasses. You're my first stop after getting them cuz I just genuinely wanted to learn more about them and how they work and what to prepare for as a new transitions owner. Thanks for making this! Certainly satisfying my curiosity today!
I just ordered a pair of extra active, but haven't got them yet. They'll be my first pair of transitions too. How are they? Do you like em? Been wanting to try them for a long time! 😅👍🏻
@@optiTHOMAS I haven't really utilized them much outdoors but for plenty of my indoor use with computers 90% of the time, it's been really nice. I did try the transition feature once, just had to. Was certainly very surreal and scifi as heck the first time!
I remember my first pair of glasses were transitions when I was in 5th grade. I like transition glasses because it prevents sun damage in my eye but also around my skin to prevent premature aging. But I do hate taking pictures when I'm outside because I want people to see my eyes.
I think transitions are a great option for kids as then they dont have to worry about carrying or taking care of a second pair of prescription sun glasses...and for the same points you made about eye health too.
Also a problem for a person appearing under hot TV lights. I had this happen to me years ago when I appeared on a local TV program. My friends later told me my glasses darkened a bit on the show.
I could never figure out why my Photochromic lenses didn't do much while driving. Now I understand. Thank you so much for this video.
thanks dr love the video quality
Would love to see reviews on Zeiss drive safe and Hoya EnRoute pro lenses
I'm wearing Zeiss' drive safe and just got them a few days ago. I love them quite a lot, although I dont think the 65% glare reduction is accurate. Granted they say, "perceived glare reduction" so they're careful with how they word it. I'd say glare protection is somewhere around 30% or so. Definitely not as high as 65%
Other than that, they're just really good lenses, really clear and the glare reduction that I do get, is better than a very low percentage or not having them at all so can't go wrong.
So I just gave my second frame to be fitted with another pair of Zeiss DS lenses.
@@Crimelord how much it costed you
The Transition lens are some of the best glasses I have ever had. I had them for five pair of glasses over a 5-7 year period and I have come to depend on them. I retired a couple years ago but worked as a aviation mechanic on a flight line for thirty plus years and prior to getting the transition I always had the hassle of using clips on and even regular prescription sun glasses as I am extremely light sensitive. These lens are a real eye saver. My OD suggested them and I tried them out. Now you will never see me not ordering a pair of glasses without them. I do have nuclear cataracts and they do help me a lot outdoors and gosh I spend hours everyday outside even after I retired. The biggest thing I Had to adjust to after I got Transition lens was the time it took for the lens to clear after coming back inside but now with the newer ones I hardly even notice that, it could be my brain has been conditioned to know that the lens having to clear
I just got them. I love them!
Awesome! I just custom ordered one. Can’t wait to try it!
Hope you enjoy it!
Where did you get that shirt?? I'm in the optical field, and it's super difficult finding long sleeve button ups with glasses on them!
I used transition i like a lot because I have high sensitivity in light.. I been wearing for almost over 10 years.. never complained .. Each person have their own preference.
I find they help a lot for people with migraines too
I got the Gen8 S series in amethyst. Love them so much. I'm very light sensitive and I love how much faster these turn and they get really dark. So yes I love the gen 8. I'd like to get more glasses especially now that the ruby came out. I have had them in every pair of glasses I own and wouldn't go without them.
Never had any transition lenses. But seriously thinking of getting some soon. For the longest I didn't like them when i saw others wearing them.Seemed like people were wearing sunglasses indoors.And for me i didnt want to feel like i was wearing sunglasses inside. But seems they have drastically improved as of late.
They are also anti-aging. It prevents us from squinting, thereby preventing crow’s feet. And the UV protection prevents sun damage to the sensitive and very thin skin around the eyes. (I still always use sunscreen, though.)
💯 Love this!
siemenssx1 that’s why it’s anti-UV.
siemenssx1 will wait for Doctor Eye Health to weigh in with more detail, as he already agreed with my comment before yours.
siemenssx1 my doctor recommended Transitions to me and I have been on it for years. I don’t know why you are so adamant. Even if you stand in the shade, if you still look at the brightness beyond the shade, your pupils will still react. That’s why we wear sunglasses during the day. Transitions is just for those who have a diopter AND need sunglasses. I don’t suppose you actually watched this video to see that an actual Doctor is recommending Transitions in this very video.
siemenssx1 I have. But okay, doctor.
Great review Doc! I am excited to try the new mirrored transitions! Maybe pink? So many choices in 2019! Have you tried the Precision 1 yet?!
I know my clinic manager got the pink ones and liked them...but they didnt get as strong of a pink as she wanted, she also noticed a lot of glare with them. As far as the Precision 1 goes...😁Perhaps...
Thats interesting about the temperature and climate.
Kinda funny how it works less in the scenarios you need them most. The sun is much lower and not as bright in winter yet they get darker than usual, and in the summertime you need them the most and they dont get as dark
love the channel 📸
Good morning about the transitional generation 8 lens,when I ask for these type of lenses will all the different features come with the? 1.Blue light blocking technology, and all other benefits that consists of this type of lens?
So I'm watching this video looking for reviews on the new lenses you are my son and my wife doctor lol
That constant yellow tint is absolutely a delight for me. It's something I tend to notice when I take my glasses off.
Transition along with AR is my preferred way to go with glasses lenses.
If I am a all-day PC user and getting a Transitions Gen 8, is it recommended to add Crizal Prevencia(Blue-Cut) coating? Thanks for the great video!
I had Crizal Pevencia and its not that great to be honest. The dyes in the transition lenses already gives you blue light protection and too much blue light protection is bad. I would get Crizal Sapphire instead.
Love transition lens, I always option it in whenever I get a new pair of prescription glasses.
But to help with my driving I have these amber clip-on which really help a lot in dusk/dawn/night times, it helps clear extra bright light in the morning and lessens the glare of on-coming LED headlamps from the opposite side of traffic at night.
I love transitions I have been wearing them for 30 years, today I get the extra dark transition with the flash coating I have never had a problem with this combination, glasses were a pain but now they look great.
Can you briefly share what that means because I'm going to be purchasing transitions? Is "extra dark transition w/flash coating" a type of transition lens or something you add to the standard transition lenses? Thank you if you don't mind explaining.
Well done; thanks!
Great video! Do transitions “break-in” and work better over time? I’ve heard conflicting answers.
Having worn transitions for well over 4 years now, I can say this: Transitions seem to have a short break in period (likely less than 72hrs Imo) after which they work consistently for at least 2 years. After this 2 yr period I've found that the lenses generally don't quite go as clear as they used to. It's not enough to be noticeable while wearing them, but you can tell they're not clear when you take them off.
My latest transitions glasses are easily older than 2 years now, so it's likely any pair you might buy have fixed this issue. Despite this, I seriously love my transitions, I don't think I can buy glasses without them anymore.
Always the best advise on every aspect of eye
Thanks Lloyed! 💯
Years ago I tried transition lenses and admittedly they were not as good as were today obviously. My problem was on weekends I like to work on my antique pick up truck I’d go outside they would get dark I’d crawl under it and they’d stay dark and then I’d get out after a while and they were clear under the truck and they wouldn’t get dark very fast. I think I’ll just stand by my clip ones. Thanks as always for a very informative presentation
Thanks. It’s good to know the lens have gotten better. They would work with clear line bifocals?
Transitions Extra Active are my favorite. They darken just right when in the car.
I even like that they are a little dark inside, but I'm pretty light sensitive.
@@DoctorEyeHealth I have the Transition Extras. Do the new generation 8s get as dark or darker then the Extras?
@@dheller777 no; extra-active are still darker, but extra-active do not turn clear like generation 8 indoors
I just bought trasition lenses yesterday.
Waiting till it comes tomorrow.
💯
Just got it yesterday
1st use it's amazing but it's not getting so dark when I go outside.
I think it depends on if the sun is more or less shiny.
Love this!
I❤️ my Transitions lenses. They are the best and worth every penny!
When I'm shoveling snow mine get super dark. I assumed it was from the extra UV bouncing off the snow.
I love my transitions, its just a dead give away when you need/want to go outside for a break or something lol. But is there a way you can tell your actually getting gen 8 transitions? vs 7? or 6, or what ever.
Transitions discontinued the previous iterations. They do this whenever a new generation is introduced. Most of the well known corporate stores have their existing inventory of previous gen lenses recalled by the host laboratory and replaced with current gen product. While not impossible, the likelihood of getting previous gen at this stage of the product cycle is pretty low. No worries.
Thank you for your toys on lenses. I had issues keeping the eye lids locked and to remove the lenses. With your tips, more simple than at my optical center...
I do have transition lenses on my new glasses. A huge progress on the one I had years ago... Great channel
I have used Transition lenses for a long time. I am about to get replacements. This time I will go with Transition XtraActive lenses.
I use Zeiss Photofusion, along with their Drivesafe coating. It's an absolute winning combination and by far my favourite pair of glasses. They're also great for computer use.
Ok...I will need to try these out! Thanks for the tip.
@@DoctorEyeHealth are those prescription lenses? Why can't I see any white outline from the edges or safety bevel? Is the bevel and edge ar coated?
@@wazup3333 These are actually EyeZen Lenses with Crizal saphire 360 AR. Perhaps that is why?
@@DoctorEyeHealth not prescription?
I had them back around 2012, I found that they did not get dark enough and sometimes the individual lenses had different tints. The other issue is style...my current eyeglasses (silhouette Urban) would not look good as sunglasses. It adds complexity as you have to find frames that look good as glasses and sunglasses. (If you care about that sort of thing)
Very good points. Thankfully the new gen 8 gets super dark
Dunno about you but I also experienced slight darkening indoors where lots of fluorescent lights are used. That slight UV from the bulbs still is enough to react to.
Hi, which one would you recommend more. The Transitions Gen 8 or the Zeiss PhotoFusion?
I have Transitions Gen 7 and they don't get as dark as I wish. But I've got Transitions XTractive and they're whole new level. The downsize is they've got like 11% tint when they're clear, which could bother someone.
I got transition contacts because of the videos you posted about them before. They feel just like my AcuVue daily lenses I have been wearing. They help a ton with light sensitivity, especially with my blue eyes.
That's awesome! Glad to hear you like them! I enjoy them when running outside or when sunglasses just arent the best option.
Hi , do you recomend add filter of blue light to a lens with this transitions gen 8 ?
I have used it and it is a good option
I just got a pair two weeks ago, and i love them. I live in California so i wear them all the time
survived for 41 years without glasses, welcoming myself to presbyopia club, im excited for my progressive lens with Gen 8 in grey color to arrive ( Varilux Liberty 3.0 )🙏🏼🥰 i hope it will be worth it as it is expensive especially here in Philippines
Many years ago I had transition lenses I found that I had to wear them constantly well I broke them and on a sunny day I was nearly blinded by the sun and knew then the term dependency . So after a month without them or sun glasses my eyes went back to normal in the sunshine. Never again....
I didn't broke mine :)
I've used transition lenses for a long time (many years), until one day I had the same kind of experience. Normal day, a bit sunny but nothing exaggerated. I took my transition lenses off for some activity aaaand... I was blinded by the light. Totally normal daylight blinded me. With transition lenses the light was always at about same level the whole day, if I would have to compare it I would say almost like the early evening light (not super light, not dark; just not so much light).
I changed my glasses soon after, no more transition lenses. I need "sunglasses"? I bought a pair of clipping sunglasses lenses (the ones that clip on the regular eyeglasses). Not as convenient but they do their job (if I don't forget them at home).
I probably could never take my glasses off. My sight is horrible and I can't see a traffic sign at all when I am not wearing my glasses. I can't see from not so far distance the eye colours or face in general at all
Hi Doc! I hope you're doing well!
I've been using transitions for a few years now and I've noticed something cool recently.
With my current pair of transition lenses, I noticed that towards their 1 year "anniversary", they have become darker. For the first year of my current lenses, I always felt like they weren't dark enough and were still letting in a fair bit of light (I'm quite sensitive to extreme light). But for the past 10 months or so, I've noticed that they've reached some really dark shades (which is super cool with me). I haven't changed location. I still do pretty much what I've been doing doing for the past 5 years.
So my question is, is it possible for transitions to become darker as they age?
Gee, I don't think so but I'm still researching because I'm going to be buying transitions glasses. I read though on the "RX Safety" site that transition lenses last for about 3 yrs and that you'll see a yellowish tinge forming on the lenses while clear & a noticeable reduction of the lenses darkness in full sunlight as they age.
Are you saying the darkness in your lenses has increased over time? Do you notice this yellowish tinge? It concerns me because I suspect I'm going to be investing a lot of money into this type of eyewear.💰👓🕶👀
@@isabellind1292 I've been using such lenses for quite around 5-6 years, and I personally didnt even notice them turning darker or getting any sort of noticable tint. Maybe I'm just lucky, but they work perfectly for me
@@painisbreaker5830 Thanks for your reply. I'm glad to hear they've worked but I'm confused by your saying you never noticed them turning darker but you said in your original comment yours have reached some really dark shades.
In any event, I think they will be a good investment and thank you for responding. Eyewear can be very costly but thank goodness we have tools to help us see the world around us, lol!😊👍👍
This is actually exactly what my optometrist told me when I got my first pair of Transitions. She told me not to get frustrated because they’d end up getting darker as time went on. Basically saying that they built up their darkness. (LOL)
I tried Transition Lenses several years ago. At first they were kinda Cool, but I noticed they did take some time to get Clear when coming from Outdoors to Indoors.
I've worn Transitions for many years, when I first started it was called Photogrey or Photobrown. I just bought a pair from Kits and they call it "adaptive lenses". They haven't arrived yet so I'm wondering if it will be as good as Transitions.
I just bought transition lens today, waiting for 3days to finish fixing with the frame
Hope you love them
where did u buy?
Can anyone tell how can u tell gen8 apart from gen7? I've had my share of store nightmares before.
I have the transition on my eyeglasses. I have the basic ones that is gray not the colored ones. I love my transition glasses. I can't wait until I get my new ones soon same color as before gray.
New pair this month. Fourth set. This time in polycarbonate. Always add antireflectve. Great when cold. Do not buy the brown, doesn't get dark enough.
Do review of Drivewear please.
Can you do another video on the brown vs. grey?
Writing that down!
Hi there!! could you please recommend me the best quality single lens? Now I'm wearing Essilor sapphire + transition 7 index 1.67. My question is if I change to Zeiss chromatic lens or Rodenstock with the same conditions which one is the best for single lens index 1.67.
P.S. My vision is -450.
Hey Jobs! This is a good question. I will ask my head optician tomorrow about her opinion as I am not super familiar with Rodenstock. However, with a higher minus lens, the high index material is a good way to go for sure. (saving this comment)
I see you didn't get a reply, and I've been getting new lenses for my family ranging from -6.5 regular to -2.5 photo chromic and the best clear is Essilor sapphire, best photo chromic Essilor transitions gen 8. For higher (above 4) correction take zen because of field of vision.
Rodenstock/Zeiss is decent but not as good as Essilor.
I love those tom Ford glasses so much 🤩🤩
This is awesome!
I've been curious how they react side by side with the Zeiss Photofusion lenses.
That would be a good comparison!
I don’t like people seeing my eyes because I’m generally self conscious even though everyone says my eyes look nice
So when I got my glasses I got transitions because of that
Ive heard people say they can usually still see your eyes through them. I just ordered some
@@samthekashman all depends who and what gen
Some are darker and some are lighter but mine get pretty dark to where you have to be pretty close
@@momomori_JP how much it costed you and which brand the lens as I need very dark ones

Hi DR,
London calling , your fan from London !
is IT ok with you to ask your advice,opinion and your thoughts BEFORE I get my glasses ??
Let me know please
I like transition glasses
👍
I actually like the fact it takes a little while for them to go clear
Why do you like that??
I find it kind of dope walking inside and people seeing you with shades on and then a couple minutes later it takes its time and fade out
Cool ! . Nice yr PAL spectacles.
I have had transitions for about 14 years now. I have three pairs right now and love them. I also have my sunglasses for driving. I love transitions. I like the outdoors and these are the best. I wish they made contacts for astigmatism with the transitions. But I'm sure that will come in time. The transitions contact lenses look pretty cool too.
Do you have a lot of astigmatism? Some people can still wear the transitions contacts even though they have astigmatism.
@@DoctorEyeHealth I already asked my eye doctor. And I can't wear them.
Iris chevez hi I’ve just bought some two weeks till I pick up . I don’t know if I will like them or not. Worried about the time takes to change colour.
What if there were manual transition lenses that allow you to push a button to turn them into shades? Need to look into this
I have been dreaming of this for years.
@@DoctorEyeHealth that would bring so much attention and money lol to the eye care industry that needs to happen 😭😂
actually that tech exists for windows I don't see why it wouldn't enter lens tech too :D
The military already have this, its the same tech as fighter pilot visors
You should do a review on Transitions Xtractive. They get dark in the car!
For sure!
the downside of xtractive is that they are always kinda dark.
@@tommorris9822 and get lighter way slower :/ Not really for entering tunnels.
i got my first pair today and i am excited....
Love my transitional lenses
