New Transitions Lenses are here!

Transitions Optical developed Transitions® Signature™ VII lenses to be more responsive in more situations by testing them in over 200 real-life conditions representing more than a thousand scenarios combining various temperatures, weather conditions and geographies. Read here to know more about the new and improved Transition VII lenses: 

 

What is Transitions® Signature™ VII and how is it different/better?

Transitions® Signature™ VII is the latest and most balanced photochromic lens from Transitions Optical. Transitions® Signature™ VII is more responsive in more situations, being more reactive to indirect light and darker especially in warmer conditions – while at the same keeping excellent clarity indoors and fast to fade back.

How are Transitions® Signature™ VII lenses different to Transitions® XTRActive™?

Both are clear lens replacements. Transitions® Signature™ VII is our most balanced lens to date having a high degree of indoor clarity and with improved outdoor darkness and responsiveness on hot days. It is available in a broad range of lens designs and materials in Grey and Brown. XTRActive™ goes darker outdoors, darkens moderately behind a car windscreen and has a slight residual tint indoors. It is available in Grey.

What’s new and different about the darkness of Transitions® Signature™ VII lenses?

Transitions® Signature™ VII lenses are darker than Transitions® VI™ lenses in average and hotter temperatures. When measured over 1000 times in 200 different situations Transitions® Signature™ VII Brown lenses were shown to be on average 21% darker than Transitions VI and Grey 15% darker. As the most balanced Transitions lens to date, Transitions® Signature™ VII lenses will provide even more visual comfort, glare reduction and enhanced contrast than any Transitions lens previously available. They are also darker in situations when the wearer is not directly facing the sun, which is key as wearers avoid looking into the sun.

Are Transitions® Signature™ VII lenses compatible with premium anti-reflective coatings?

Absolutely. Transitions® Signature™ VII lenses are compatible with all premium AR coatings and hardcoats.
In fact, Transitions® Signature™ VII lenses are even clearer than regular clear lenses when a premium
AR coating is applied. For added flexibility, if necessary, the hardcoat on Transitions® Signature™ VII l
lenses is easily removed in a laboratory prior to AR or proprietary hardcoat application.

Can Transitions® Signature™ VII lenses be tinted?

Yes, but we do not recommend it as tinting will compromise the clarity of Transitions® Signature™ VII
lenses which are virtually as clear as regular clear lenses indoors and at night. If a pre-tint is required
your patient might choose to consider Transitions Performance Sunwear and Transitions adaptive
sunwear lenses as they are specifically designed for outdoor activities.

Are Transitions® Signature™ VII lenses limited to any particular spectacle frames? 

Absolutely not. That’s one of the benefits of Transitions lenses – they are suitable for virtually any
frame designed for mounting prescription lenses.

In what colours are Transitions® Signature™ VII lenses offered?

Transitions® Signature™ VII lenses are available in Grey or Brown tints. Both tints have been optimised
for better color consistency, providing further improved aesthetics and enhanced vision.
