How do I identify that the lenses I brought are Transition lenses and not normal or fiber lenses?

Question

I recently brought new spectacles with lenses made by Transition. How do I identify that the lenses made are by Transition and not any ordinary glass or fiber?

Answer 1

take them outside and see if they change colors....?

Answer 2

There are other plastic photochromic lenses which are also available that turn dark when u go in the sun.

The best way to differentiate them from transitions is that ordinary photochromics do not go as white/clear as the transitions do.(esp if its Transition 5 or 6) 5 & 6 are versions of transition technology.

Transition is not a lens. Its a technology used to make white spectacle lenses to phtochromics.

Transition can be with essilor lenses, zeiss lenses, hoya lenses etc etc.

So if you buy a transition make sure your optician gives you an authenticity card of the original lens (e.g. Essilor crizal) and of Transition.
