Transition lenses are popular among people who wear glasses. This product switches from clear to tinted lenses, depending on the lighting situation, allowing the wearer to enjoy clear vision at all times. Here are a few reasons to opt for transition lenses when selecting your next pair.

Why Your Glasses Should Have Transition Lenses

1. Eye Protection

The sun’s UV rays cause ocular issues, like macular degeneration and cataracts. You should wear sunglasses even when it’s overcast, as the rays can still cause ocular sunburn and damage. Fortunately, transition lenses will automatically darken, ensuring you receive the right amount of eye protection whenever you’re outdoors.

2. Convenience

If you wear your glasses daily, carrying a pair of sunglasses with you can be a hassle. Additionally, if you don’t have prescription shades, it can be dangerous to use them while driving. Transition lenses address these challenges, as you only need one pair of glasses. Since your regular eyewear can turn into sunglasses, you won’t need to buy an additional pair to shield your eyes from the sun.

3. Clearer Vision

When you’re outside on a bright day, it can be challenging to see clearly when you’re straining against the sun. You’ll have annoying glare and sunspots in your vision. This can even occur when you wear store-bought sunglasses. Transition lenses will help you see clearly in any condition so that you can avoid watery eyes and headaches while enjoying the sunshine.
