Had them. Worked great in Winter at low temps. But in Summer when you really need darker lenses they didn't get as dark.

someone wouldn't have to have 2 different pairs of glasses while driving in sun because they can just get a clip on shade in dark gray/black for their eyeglasses. the clip ons are inexpensive and many are universal shape/size. this solves the problem of windshield blocking UV rays so that transition lenses aren't activated.

That will only work for driving.... some people work jobs where they can't afford to have clips on and taking em off...its bothersome and not worth it. Even if i was driving I would still prefer to not do anything...hence worry-free transitions.

I have them, and my vision is really weird when the lenses go dark. It feels like I’m walking through a dark tunnel.

The prices you brought up are insane, I recently bought two pairs of transition glasses, one Fossil and one Polaroid both with transition lens' and it has only cost me £183 for them both together, this being because of a free pair offer on the fossil's, The transition lens' themselves cost £55 extra for each pair.

I thought he was a little generous with the price I just paid $179 for just the transition portion of the lenses and I also got the anti reflective coating with the transition lenses they have to be polycarbonate so you have to pay more for that

It depends on how they are made, I had glasses from Specsavers which failed after a few years, turned out the photochromic lens was only a coating [ used to be embedded in the glass], I was walking round with 1 clear lens and 1 dark lens

My transition lenses did not work correctly, they did not change to deep dark staying halfway blueish. My sunglasses are always dark even when I drive, and my regular glasses are always clear, and I like that. And in case I forget my sunglasses I have dark magnetic shields to put over regular lenses, that cost less than glasses.

I wear my first transition for 3 years and it completely stopped turning into sunglasses no matter how much sunlight i exposed to it. Right now I am wearing the extra active which I got it in 2019 after about a year and a half it's no more extra active very slow responding to sunlight. I got it on June 2019 and as soon as the summer of 2021 came around it was very slow responding to sunlight.

Hi Abdul, that is odd. All the frames I use I had transition in them and they have lasted longer and responds pretty quick than what you mentioned. A year or so ago, they came out with Transition 8 which lasts longer. Make sure the optical is giving you that instead of older models or generic photochromatic lenses

Its generally fix but again transition is a brand from essilor. Different photochromatic brands go lighter and darker and the xtractive brand has a slight tint throughout

Hi suzanne, thanks for the question. There is a brand of transition called xtractive that does and warrants a video itself. The drawback of that is it has a slight tint when you are not exposed to uv light. The regular transition do not change colors completely in the car.
