Every day, our eyes adjust to changes in light, whether we realize it or not. For example, they react differently to sunlight than to a TV or computer screen. This adaptation can sometimes cause discomfort and health problems. New Acuvue^® Oasys With Transitions™ contact lenses are changing that. Here’s why these new lenses are so popular among eye doctors and patients alike. 

3 Benefits of Transitions Contact Lenses 

1. Fast, Automatic Transitions

You’re probably familiar with transitions lenses for glasses, which automatically darken in bright light and lighten again indoors to prevent your eyes from hurting. Acuvue Oasys With Transitions operates under the same principle. When you are exposed to bright light, the lenses’ photochromatic molecules react by darkening in less than 60 seconds. When you’re no longer in the sun, they fade back to clear in less than 90. Among other benefits, this means you can wear them during your morning commute comfortably—even as the sky transitions from dark to light.

2. UV Protection

The American Optometric Association warns that too much exposure to solar radiation can contribute to optic health problems, such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and other vision problems. These contact lenses provide 100% protection against harmful UVB rays to protect your health.

3. Prevents Squinting

By reducing glare, they also reduce one’s tendency to squint—a habit tied to eye strain and headaches. While you could use sunglasses for a similar effect, Transitions contacts are more convenient since you don’t have to take them on and off throughout the day.
