Transitions Optics, leader in Photochromics, launches Transitions XTRActive! ~ Turn up the dark!!

Filed under: Eye Health,Lens Designs,News — Tags: , , , — admin @ 12:02 pm

XTRActive is the solution to a gap in the market that requires everyday lenses that react to both UV and visible light. They are the darkest everyday lenses (90% tint at 23°C) and they even react behind the windscreen (up to 50% at 27°C), which is great news as the biggest complaint Glasses4Less gets about Transitions lenses is that they don’t react enough in the car.

Happier motoring. New Transitions® XTRActive™ lenses are our first everyday lenses that darken behind the windscreen of a car. By adjusting to both UV and visible light, Transitions XTRActive lenses activate to a comfortable level of tint for driving. Your will appreciate the versatility compared to an ordinary clear lens.

The newest addition to the line of Transitions everyday lenses, available in a range of materials and indices, gives you even more choice of suitable lens options.

Note: Darkening of Transitions XTRActive lenses behind a windscreen of a car is influenced by several factors including shape and inclination of the windscreen, windscreen transmission, driver position, lateral windows.

UV and eye protection concerns everyone.

Our sight is precious, without good vision we can’t live comfortably and happily, without the benefit of glare protection life can be tiring and stressful. Transitions VI lenses provide healthy sight in every light. 

Did you know?

That in the last 10 years, the earth has lost 12% of its ozone layer! This means that our skin and eyes are at a greater threat of damage from UVA and UVB rays than ever before.

For every percent of ozone lost, scientists register a corresponding increase in cancer of 4% and cataracts of 0.8%. (source: World Health Organisation)

People just aren’t aware of the harmful effects that UV can have on their eyes. While prolonged or excessive sun bathing is associated with skin cancer it is not often linked to ocular lesions which is why the public need to be made aware of these facts. It’s not just associated with hot sunny days and foreign holidays in warmer climates, even in the UK people can be exposed to UV rays, even on cloudy days! 

The very latest Transitions VI lenses react quickly to the changing light conditions and protect eyes from the damaging effects of Ultra Violet rays, just like sunblock protects your skin.  Transitions lenses help preserve eye health as they block 100% of harmful UV rays
