Whether the sun’s beating down on your face or the snow’s reflecting light upon it, protecting your eyes from UV rays all year long is vital. For those who wear glasses, buying both prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses may sound expensive and complicated. Fortunately, transition lenses offer protection, convenience, and style, all at once.

In indoor lighting, your lenses will be clear, like usual. As you step outside into the bright light, your lenses will adjust, offering just enough tint to shield your eyes. If you’re looking for transition eyewear options, Cook Inlet Eyewear in Anchorage, AK, offers just what you need.

Try These Fun Transition Eyewear Styles

1. Clear to Gray

When wearing sunglasses, do you prefer a gentle tint, or something a little darker? If you prefer your lenses on the darker side when out in the sun, then gray transition lenses may be for you. You also may want to consider your personal fashion style when selecting your eyewear shade.

2. Clear to Brown

Another option is transition lenses that change from clear to brown. These brown lenses tend to allow a little more light through them; however, they offer higher contrast, and therefore, improved definition between objects. Ultimately, which option you choose will depend on your unique preference. 

3. Transitions® XTRActive® Lenses

Those with very sensitive eyes may prefer the Transitions® XTRActive® lenses. Outdoors, they offer your deepest tint. Plus, when you’re in the car, they will darken. Standard models don’t generally change while driving in the car since they respond to UV rays, and car windows already block these out. If you would prefer darker lenses while driving, then these may be for you.
