With the summer months now upon us, it’s safe to say that many of us will be setting off on another holiday to remember. Whether it’s a city break to San Francisco or a relaxing Mediterranean retreat to the Almalfe coast, it’s time to pack those all important specs for maximum protection.

If you regularly wear specs, there has probably been a moment in time where you’ve been unhappy with them whilst being out in the sunshine. It can be annoying having to switch from your regular pair of spectacles to your prescription sunglasses whilst changing from one setting to another. It can be even more annoying if you don’t have any prescription sunglasses or you’ve completely forgotten to pack them.

Whilst these are minor complaints, you may find yourself experiencing these types of situations on a regular basis. Ultimately you want to ensure that you protect your eyes from harmful UV rays whilst being without the need to carry more than one pair of glasses around with you.

To combat this, many people opt for photochromic lenses which are also known as Transitions lenses. These are lenses adjust to changes in light to optimise your eyesight. When you’re exposed to ultraviolet light, the lenses darken to resemble sunglasses.

The moment you step outside wearing Transitions lenses you will understand why they are regarded as the number one photochromic lens worldwide. The ability to rapidly adapt to light condition changes, Transitions lenses can change from clear indoors to fully dark in the brightest sun.

The original Transitions lens introduced people to the balance of wearing one pair of glasses for both outdoors and in. Today, Transitions lenses rapidly filter light with industry leading photochromic dyes whilst blocking 100% UVA/UVB rays.

Unlike sunglasses, which have a set tint, Transitions lenses are constantly adapting to your surrounding light conditions. The constant and smooth transition allows you to see well in many different lighting conditions.

Transitions are also personalised to your style. No matter which glasses frame you choose, we can fit a transition lens. They are also suitable for all ages, including children.

Whilst it is important to choose your frame, it is also important to select the appropriate lens. Choose from the three classical Transitions colours, including Grey, Brown and Graphite Green or from four new colours including amethyst, emerald, sapphire or amber.

For an even more enhanced solution, choose Transitions XTRActive which is ideal for active outdoor lifestyles and those who drive frequently.
