Does anyone own a pair of Transition lenses?

I'm thinking of getting some, and the automatic sunglasses feature sounds interesting. Do they really turn clear out of sunlight? How dark do they get outside? Do you have any choices of tints or do you have to choose the standard grey? Would you buy them again?

  1. Hi, i have had transition lens in the past.

    They were ok but they will not tint inside of a car where you may need them most.

    If a person is outside a lot and needs the protection from the sun they are ok but not so good for driving.

  2. There are genuine Transitions lenses which, in Australia at least, now only come in one colour (grey, version VI). There are also inferior alternatives that do not have as nice a colour or change from as clear to as dark or as fast. Ensure you have genuine Transitions brand.

    As already discussed, they do not tint much in the car.  Otherwise they are very good.

  3. My husband has them and enjoyed them, except for the fact that they take awhile to adjust back coming inside form bright sunlight.  He also said occasionally it was annoying if he was trying to do something outside and they got dark.  He would most likely get them again(if he can't make contacts work).  He did not get a choice of colors.

  4. Transition lenses come in a light gray a darks gray a light brown and dark brown. The lenses are great...the only disadvantage is the fact that when you are driving they don't get dark because the windshield of all vehicles have uv coating on it already and the lenses have to have direct uv light to change colors,. They do change back to clear l;ens in about 3-5 mins. Your local optical should have a sample lens to show you exactly what you are putting in your frame before purchasing them. They are great and everyone i talk to that has them really likes them! Hope this helps! =]

  5. I have transition lenses, they are very nice, they only come in gray, and take a few minutes to get dark, but i think they are great. the only down fall is that they dont work through glass, so if your in a car they wont activate so your going to have to find some regular sunglasses for in the car.

  6. My daughter has these glasses but is disappointed with them. They don't turn really dark for her when she goes outside. Perhaps other people have had better luck with theirs.
