Save on Transitions Lenses

Save on Transitions LensesTransitions Lenses- Right in Any Light

Imagine if your glasses automatically went from clear to dark when you step outside your office and returned again to clear as soon as you sit back down at your desk.

Transitions Lenses contain special dyes that cause them to darken when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun. When UV light diminishes, the lenses transition back to clear. This means that you now only need a single pair of glasses for both indoors and outdoors use.

Transitions VI - the Best Yet

We’ve been hearing very favorable reviews from patients wearing the latest Transitions lenses. Transitions VI Lenses get lighter 30% faster than previous generations and filter out an increased amount of harmful UV radiation. That’s a 30% increase in convenience and protection!

As with previous generations of Transitions, the comfort, protection and convenience of Transitions VI technology can be applied to any pair of prescription eyeglass lenses.

To learn more about Transitions VI Lenses, and to save $25 on your next complete pair of eyeglasses with the Transitions and Crizal add-on treatments, visit our Transitions Lenses page.

Special Note on Driving Conditions

Transitions Lenses are especially ideal for office and home environments where you move from an indoor to outdoor settings or even a bright room several times a day. Since most of today’s car windshields filter out U.V. light Transitions has partnered with Drivewear to provide a photochromic ideal solution for driving conditions. Learn more about Drivewear lenses powered by Transitions.

Between now and May 20th save $25 on any complete pair of eyeglasses with Transitions and Crizal add-on lens treatments.

Golfers experiencing ROXOR for the first time are astounded by the visual transformation that occurs before their very eyes.

The eager acceptance of True Color Vision by active people, sports enthusiasts, and everyone who demands fine vision, suggests that ROXOR may soon become one of the world’s favorite sunglasses!

While wearing your ROXOR sunglasses, you may forget you have them on, but one thing you might notice is that your golf game may improve!
