3 Things about Transition Eyeglasses

http://blog.myeyewear2go.com/

If you like wearing transition eyeglasses in a country that is as all-year-round sunny as the Philippines, then it would be nice to know that there are some things that you can do and take note of about your prescription glasses.


You can have it Darker


The main quality that transition lenses have is their ability to change color from clear to a darker shade. Some change into a bluish hue and others take a more sepia tone. How hard the change in hue is varies on the coat it has.


Make sure to mention to your ophthalmologist if you’d like to have your transition lenses be darker. For specifics, ask if you can get Drivewear brand or XTRAactive lenses as these change a darker shade.


It Can last 2-3 Years


More or less, your glasses are going to be prescribed and with that, it’s very likely that you’re going to be using them every day to see clearly. Transition eyeglasses in the Philippines are worn more actively for two purposes: as prescribed and as protection from brightness.


Normally, it would take 2-3 years to first see signs of the transition happening slower both in turning shade and turning clear—it would last more if there was anti-reflective coating on glass material, less if without. Of course, how well you protect your glasses from dirt, moisture, scratches, and other damaging elements also contribute to its longevity.

It isn’t Called as You Think


Last but not the least, your transition lenses are the Xerox equivalent of glasses. In the same way that Xerox is a prominent brand of photocopiers, Transitions® is actually the most prominent brand of photochromic lenses.


Eventually, glasses that changed colors when hit with UV are called collectively as “transition lenses” instead of its more technical sounding original name. Transition eyeglasses in the Philippines are actually more properly called photochromic eyeglasses but we’ve settled for convenience like calling diapers “Pampers” or calling toothpastes “Colgate.”
